Scorn In The USA

Of Trump And Men

March 25, 2026

Many years ago, my father had an episode that landed him in the ER. He was evaluated for a stroke because he was confused and couldn’t remember basic facts like the names of his three sons or the name of the current president. My mom was told he did not have a stroke but did have transient global amnesia (I remember telling her “That means he temporarily forgot stuff.”). Things almost immediately returned to normal. He was around 60 at the time. Needless to say, my dad was not president of the United States at the time…or any other time for that matter. I think I would have known. Unless I had transient global amnesia.

Speaking Of Episodes Of Possible Brain Damage…

During a recent press event in the Awful Office, amongst many other very worrisome moments, like coveting and hugging a replica of a B-2 Bomber, Donald Jeffrey Epstein Trump entered his famous “weave” (not the one atop his vacuous noggin) and began, for no apparent reason, to talk about California Governor Gavin Newsom. Trump referred to Newsom as the “president of the United States”.

“The president of the United States, Gavin Newscum, admitted that he has learning disabilities, dyslexia. Everything about him is dumb. I’m all for people with learning disabilities, but not for my president.”

Also during this “episode” Trump claimed to have spoken with an “ex-president” (which, by all accounts turned out to be himself) who regretted not bombing Iran. All four living ex-presidents (except for one who apparently could not be reached for coherent comment) denied any such conversation ever took place. 

Three days later, Trump claimed on Truth Social – naturally, in all caps – that

“VERY GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS REGARDING A COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION OF OUR HOSTILITIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. I HAVE INSTRUCTED THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR TO POSTPONE ANY AND ALL MILITARY STRIKES AGAINST IRANIAN POWER PLANTS AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR A FIVE DAY PERIOD.”

Trump may have also said

Big strong man came up to me, tears in his eyes, some kind of Ayatollah or something. I think he was the manager. He says hey, let’s talk. Maybe I can surrender. I can sell you oil, real cheap and you can maybe be the president of Iran or something. Whatever works for you. I told him I would think it over and postpone doing war crimes on him if I can build a casino/golf course in Tehran. One like nobody’s ever seen before. We’re going to make an excellent deal for Trump…oh, and America too. Maybe.

That might not be a direct quote.

Iranian officials reported that no such conversations ever took place.

“No negotiations have been held with the US, and fake news is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the U.S. and Israel are trapped.”

Oops.

One can only assume that, once again, Trump was talking to himself.

Given that 1) Trump has at best zero credibility on any given issue, 2) Trump cares more about oil prices and Wall Street than he does about Americans – civilians and military, and 3) Trump consistently sides with Russia more than U.S. intelligence, we should be more inclined, horrible as they may be, to believe Iranian officials than Trump.

Also, Trump’s brain is mush. Someone needs to take him to a nice secluded place and tell him about the rabbits.

Look Donnie, I think I see gold out there.

I might be going out on a limb here, but I’m starting to get the feeling that Donald Trump just might be a sociopathic, criminal, braindead, fucking asshole like nobody's ever seen before.

I. Mangrey reporting. No way to delay that trouble coming every day.
