“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump said in a recent meeting to laughs, according to people with knowledge of the comments. That radius appears to be expanding as the president repeats the line.

Trump has no plan: a week of escalation then capitulation, and more drama in the regime, and the US slipping globally. All in one week! Catch up on all you missed. open.substack.com/pub/theweekl...
This week was the longest list of broken norms so far in the second regime. Not only was Trump literally alone in D.C., but figuratively the U.S. was increasingly isolated by his actions. Catch up on all you missed.

There is no bottom 👀

In Week 72 we were navigating a war filled with lies and contradictions, amid chaos back at home. Trump continued his petty grievances, and cruelty. Catch up on all you missed!

NEW: Democrat Emily Gregory wins a special election for Florida State House District 87, home to Mar-a-Lago, and a district that Trump won by 11 points in 2024, AND beating a Trump endorsed candidate. See you in November! 🩵💙
Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as our buffoon says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?"
Days Trump hasn’t been an international embarrassment = 0
One man is in charge. And surrounded by many inexperienced and incompetent loyalists, and others who are afraid to doubt him or tell him he is wrong. A recipe for disaster abroad and at home.

As Trump's war nears the three week mark, troubles at home and abroad. Catch up on all you missed!

Omg. This is such a great idea!
NEW: Trump fired Richard Grenell as head of the Kennedy Center. No fan of Grenell, but as if that is the problem.
Hegseth is spending more time criticizing our media than Iran. He is upset that journalist are reporting what is happening in Trump’s war, and is telling them what he believes should appear on their chryons. This is so autocratic!
This week we cover Trump’s war of choice becoming a war of incompetence. And major happenings at our federal agencies, including a cabinet firing. Catch up on all you missed!

Yet another example of Trump‘s incredible incompetence: starting a war where oil supply would be at risk and not having a fourth thought to fill our stockpiles first. www.axios.com/2026/03/12/o...
What has also become abundantly clear is Trump does not understand the basics of the relationship between oil prices and gas prices at the pump. He has no empathy and probably has never had to pump gas into a car, let alone drive.
This week's list is full of stories about the incompetence of the loyalists picked by Trump for senior roles, and the disastrous unfolding of Trump's ill-conceived war of choice with Iran. A crazy, busy week. Catch up on all the broken norms.

Simply unforgivable!
“Striking a school full of children is sure to be recorded as one of the most devastating single military errors in recent decades.”
There must be a thorough investigation by our military and Congress.

Trump has us in one fine mess, and he is surrounded by incompetent buffoons that only tell him yes. Anyone with basic history knowledge knew Iran’s theocratic regime was not going to roll over because Trump said to. Trump and GOP have to go!
Per @KlandriganUL:
“Boudman flips script 16 pts from 13.6% loss in 2024 to 2.4% win tonight.”
16 points folks!
Wow! Votes are still being counted for margin, but Democrats flipped a seat in the New Hampshire State House, in an area that Trump had won in 2020 and 2024. See you in midterms!
California Rep. Kevin Kelly has left the Republican Party to become the House’s only independent. This bring’s Johnson majority down to 217-214.
Trump once again setting new lows (on everything he does).
So despicable and disgusting. Americans are risking their lives overseas, and the Trump family is cashing in! There is no bottom with these people!

Hegseth is just not a serious person. He acts like a mix of an amped up Fox News host and a guy trying to sell you his used car. The 60 Minutes interview is alarming.
Oil prices hitting $110. Enjoy paying $6 for a gallon of gas because Trump had a feeling.
Iran names Khamenei’s son as his successor. Trump being publicly against this was probably the clincher.
WH press secretary Karoline Leavitt tells Fox News that a military draft is on the table.
Trump started this war with no clear objectives, no endgame, and no plan for oil after he had disparaged Biden for low stockpiles, and did nothing to fill the US reserve. This is incompetent madness!
