28. The pathetically transparent posturing in the Schlump post Pritzker shared is off the charts.

Schlump is desperate to make himself feel powerful and important right now. The big meeting with Putin in Alaska that he THOUGHT was going to get him a Nobel Peace Prize was a colossal failure instead. A couple of days after he slunk back to Washington with his tail between his legs, he had to face Zelensky, along with a phalanx of European leaders who were there to support Z, not Schlump. AND his favorite dictators had a little get together without him not long after. Then there are the terrible approval ratings, the continued furor over the tariffs, the constant clamor for the Epstein files...the list goes on.



More than anything, he wants to be a hero, and he thinks sending the National Guard into American cities under the pretext of "cleaning up" what he claims is rampant crime will make him one -- or at least he hopes it wil.. So far his plans have been backfiring on him in a big way, but he's not known for admitting it when he's beaten, so he'll probably keep making an ass of himself for a while yet, unless he drops dead first. Thank God for governors like Newsom and Pritzker who are willing to stand-up to him and treat him like the bumbling criminal he is.
