Navy Secretary John Phelan, and champion of the now over budget and late Trump class battle ships was fired today. This is a week before Hogseth presents the new Navy budget.
Anonymous sources say Trump was upset about the delayed schdule caused by sourcing enough gold leaf to coat the ships hulls.

Trump is in a box of his own making. A real “Catch 22”.
Surrounded by “Yes” people he started a war. No strategy, just drop lots of bombs. He thought no further and ignored any who dare challenge him. The result? He’s fucked up big time He’s lost the public’s trust, and can’t blame Obama this time.
Hmmm. It seems that $63M in donations to build Trump’s Presidential library have disappeared from its fund. The donors don’t know where their money went. Taco dissolved the fund a year ago and took all money out of it, and isn’t saying what he did with all his “Precious” money.
Trump, wanting to save American blood from being poisoned is giving the 1100 Afghans who helped our troops and we evacuated them to Qatar a choice. Go back to Afghanistan and be executed, go to the Congo already overrun with half million starving refugees, or drink Miller’s special Koolade.
So Trump is refunding $166B in refunds for his illegal tariffs. What are you going to get for paying Trump’s tariffs at the cash register? Nada Zip Squat. The companies that paid them will add their refunded money to their bottom line, not yours.
Trump mentioned today in response to a reporter’s question about a replacement for Justice Alito that he wants to nominate Saul Goodman. “He gets the job done.”
One thing for sure is Trump is no longer running the country. His obsession on putting his name on statues, ballrooms, arches, photos, buildings coupled with golf every weekend leaves him no time. Our country is really run by Miller, Vought, Patel, Hogseth, and other non elected officials.
From CBS…
President Trump said in a phone interview that Iran has "agreed to everything," and will work with the U.S. to remove its enriched uranium.
I tried to count the number of times Trump has said he’s a Iran war winner, when in effect he’s clueless and just plain making shit up.
Thomas Jefferson said “He would prefer newspapers without government than government without newspapers.”
He got that right!
Hogseth and Trump are both dim wattage bulbs. Seems to me jamming very large navy grey ships into a small body of water for blockade purposes is like flying a huge flag that says pick me. But then my expectations of their skills are very low. I’ll clarify. It’s a really dumb fucking idea.
You ever notice that Trump nonstop threatens, fires , demands, brags, blames, lies and accuses?
The other thing about Trump is he’s stingy, notably stingy. Despite his billions he only has one charity, and that’s himself. No money to help the sick, or disadvantaged. He gives only to Trump.
Trump sinks even deeper into madness by attacking the Pope, starting first with he was responsible for his elevation to Pope, and that he’s weak” on crime and foreign policy. This was followed by an AI image of himself as Jesus healing the sick. Trump is seriously 25th amendment ill and must go.
A powerful piece that sums up the Trump Admin.
The Trump Administration Is in a Psychotic State www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/o...
And Trump blockading Hormuz Strait traffic to stop Iran from selling oil helps us how?
So what’s happening in the world? A Veep and two realtors walk into a negotiation. “Ouch” they said, who put that there? They did poorly. Meanwhile TACO is in Miami on Saturday watching a steel cage match, followed on Sunday with a day of golf and scheming how to dump Vance. Stooges all.
After a busy week of screwing up a war, destroying international economies, pissing off our allies, driving inflation up to nearing 4%, and setting records for gas prices the TACO is playing golf all weekend in Florida. Even wanna be dictators want a break.
Trump’s Arc de Trump two weeks after dedication. Looks better.
I’m not bemused about Trump’s actions:
He’s building a lavish bomb shelter under the White house.
He’s requested half billion $ to do more renovations to the White House.
Automatically registering 18-25 year olds for the draft
Seems he has no intensions of leaving the White House, ever.
Imagine if jill Biden did this
Well at least Trump’s horrifically botched war was his best Epstein distraction so far. Too bad it cost us the last allies we had, drove up fuel prices world wide along with fertilizer cost increases, food price increases, airline ticket surcharges…. So much losing by a loser.
The fourth Smithsonian museum director has quit. Seems to me the common theme is Trump’s insistence that in all exhibits any images of him must be prominently displayed, be larger in size than all other previous president’s, and never near any images of Obama.
From the so sad, too bad dept.
Trump denied membership in the Augusta National Golf Club and tickets to the Masters. They have standards😂
Under a Trump emergency order starting in Dec all American men between 18 to 25 will be automatically registered and eligible to be drafted in the military. Trump can at any time order them into military service. Welcome to Nixon’s Vietnam. Hogseth says he needs more warrior’s for Trump’s plans.
Trump’s having a tiny chubby again about Greenland. Look at what happened with Iran. A see the horsey out the window moment from night’s tweet.
"NATO WASN'T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON'T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN. REMEMBER GREENLAND, THAT BIG, POORLY RUN, PIECE OF ICE!!!"
Trump is still desperately trying to find an off ramp from his world class and staggering Iran fuckup. This is driven by his ever sinking polls. His truce is evaporating by the hour. His fantasy of omnipotence, is just that, a fantasy.
From NYT. Frances Fukuyama:
“There has never been a time when the United States was more distrusted, by both traditional friends and by rivals, as now.”
“Dealmaker’s need to generate trust that they uphold their bargains “But reciprocity is a virtue that Trump has never understood or practiced.”
It took Obama 2 1/2 years to negotiate the 2015 JCPOA plan with other countries.
The results: 98% of Iran’s uranium was shipped to other countries. Inspectors had 24/7 access to all facilities.
Fast forward to 2018. Trump dumps Obama’s agreement and it all goes to hell, and Trump makes it worse.
Someone must have cornered dementia Trump, showed him his polls, and told him he’ll be impeached right after midterms for his fucked up and botched Iran stunt. No Ballroom, Arch, statues, endless graft and free 747…..
It appears TACO has tendered a deal offer to Iran, but it’s clear Iran hasn’t agreed. Trump offered a two week cease fire, if Iran opens the straits. It smells like to me it’s a PR ploy
Bout 2 hrs to Trump’s apocalypse.
KC 135 air tankers all day are landing in Tel Aviv, filling up and heading in the general direction of Iran, and later returning. Most pass through Jordan airspace with transponders on, and when they exit it, they disappear from view. Each carries about 3k gallons
