Donald Trump spent Presidents’ Day morning doing exactly what you’d expect from a corrupt, self-obsessed, and cognitively crumbling fraud: posting his own mugshot, congratulating himself on being “Mr. President,” and completely ignoring actual disasters affecting American lives.
This guy posted an image of his official White House portrait side by side with his Georgia RICO mugshot. And then, in true cult-leader fashion, he declared to his followers: “They’re not after me. They’re after you. I’m just standing in the way. Happy Presidents’ Day.”
Well, Donald, you certainly aren’t standing in the way of Americans struggling with real problems—because you couldn’t care less about them.
While Americans in Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia were reeling from a major storm disaster—with fatalities, destroyed homes, and lives upended—Trump spent the day at a car race in Florida, having his motorcade do laps on the track. The next day? Golfing at his resort, naturally. Not a word about the storm. Not a single shred of leadership.
Instead, Trump was busy sending out scammy fundraising emails, offering people a “gift” of his signed inaugural photo—because nothing says Happy Presidents’ Day like a grift. Act now! It’s only available to my “most loyal” supporters (meaning: anyone who will give me money)!
Trump is only a few weeks into his presidency, and guess what? People are already exhausted by his incompetence. His poll numbers are tanking, with young voters turning against him fast. Just two weeks ago, 50% of adults under 30 had a favorable opinion of Trump. Now? That number has collapsed to 39%.
And honestly, who can blame them? While past presidents saw soaring approval ratings early on, Trump has already managed to make himself deeply unpopular. His grand economic plan? Higher prices, unaffordable housing, skyrocketing gas prices, and chaos on the world stage.
He promised to bring peace to Ukraine in 24 hours. That was a lie. He promised to lower prices on “day one.” That was a lie. Instead, we’re watching Trump fall right into Vladimir Putin’s hands, cutting out Europe and Ukraine from negotiations and letting Russia dictate the terms.
And while Trump lets Putin run the show, his administration is off firing FAA employees after multiple aviation disasters, gutting veterans’ services, and letting the country descend into instability. But don’t worry, his top priority is... selling Dark MAGA hats.
Yes, Trump is now hyping a bizarre “Dark MAGA” rebrand, emailing his followers that Elon Musk is “one of them” and urging them to buy the exclusive Dark MAGA hat (available now, while supplies last!). His handpicked FBI Director-to-be, Kash Patel, is over on Trump’s failing social media platform selling “Based T-shirts.”
And what’s Trump’s other big move? Gushing over Argentina’s far-right leader Javier Milei, whose country currently boasts a 54% poverty rate. Trump looks at that and thinks, Yes, let’s bring that here.
The bottom line? Trump is an unserious man trying to run a serious country. He’s not a leader—he’s a narcissistic sideshow. He wastes his time with fake tough-guy bravado while Americans suffer from real issues. He ignores disasters, fuels economic instability, and sells propaganda while handing America over to Putin and his billionaire cronies.
But here’s the good news: We are not powerless. Trump is losing public support, his approval is collapsing, and Americans are already fed up with the incompetence. The grassroots oppossition to his corrupt rule is stronger than ever—and we will not stop until we take our democracy back.
So stay informed. Stay engaged. And most of all—stay in the fight.
