He Told us in the beginning, that you only have to vote for me Once running for President, but he really meant Dictator! Steve Bannon openly claims ICE will be stationed at voting sites in November. And move on from Epstein, he was a friend of mine, and all the little girls loved me and how!
Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Donald Trump and host of the “War Room” show, has pushed baseless claims that recent and future U.S. elections are “stolen,” and is now making the following threat: “We ‘re going to have ICE surround the polls…We’ll never again allow an election to be stolen.”
"Authoritarianism, said out loud," said Adam Kinzinger, a former House Republican and now staunch Trump critic. Indeed, it's dangerous. Election officials in some Democrat-run states are already preparing for potential federal intrusion in the midterms, CNN reported last week.
Trump is a low, vile person. He should be in jail and nothing should be named after him. The fact that he is so beloved reflects terribly on this country. I fear it is a stain that will be next to impossible to erase. He is a modern day personification of our nation’s biggest sins, white supremacy and unfettered capitalistic greed. At least we can be more honest about our country moving forward. Accountability is essential. In the meantime, release the complete Epstein files.
"[Trump is] one of the most popular political figures in our history." Not any more. His past popularity is disappearing. If we continue to have elections like the recent state senate election in Texas, the Trump downward spiral will take him below 30% instead of below 40% which he is working on.
This brings to mind the time on the 2019 campaign trail when Trump accepted a Purple Heart from a vet. After the veteran gives Donald his Purple Heart medal on stage, the GOP nominee says he’s always wanted one and being gifted one was “much easier”. How repugnant. I wonder how that veteran has had a change of Purple Heart today. 💜
I have heard that the real reason the Kennedy Center will be closed for the next two years is that all or most of the performers scheduled during that period have cancelled in protest. I don't know if it's true, but I hope it is.
Trump was elected the first time because he wasn't Hillary Clinton. Biden won because he wasn't Donald Trump. Trump won in 2024 because he wasn't Kamala Harris.
Anyone seeing a pattern here?
What pinhead is next?
The parties need to start fulfilling their role as gatekeepers and keep the populists under control. This 40-odd year old experiment in Presidential primaries needs to end. The Founders were right - the government needs to be insulated from the mob.
Are there more important things to pay attention to, than his naming habits?
also yes, emphatically.
Is it important to remember he does a lot of misdirection - attention-getting wild gestures with one hand while the other . . . ?? YES for sure.
.
Could you consider writing about:
- how voters lost faith in Democrats over border erasure
- how voters lost faith in Democrats over crime-coddling anti police policies
- how voters lost faith in Democrats over wild pork barrel inflationary spending
- how voters lost faith so badly in Democrats, that TRUMP looked like the better choice!?
.
and most importantly how can rational Democrats reclaim their party from the whack-left, that has the energy, the union feet on the street, and the gobs of dark money?
Spare us the hyperbolic and dishonest rightwing talking points about the "whack left" and their "gobs of dark money." Large deficit-financed tax cuts and impulsive, ever changing tariffs on ... most things - Pretty inflationary.
Trump clearly regards monuments to himself is the most important issue, along with grabbing all the wealth he can -- straight from the taxpayers' pockets if possible -- and getting revenge against anyone who hurt his ego, and clamping down on the press, and seizing control of elections.
No doubt the "Trump" name on buildings, arches, and savings accounts will go the same way as it has gone on airlines, universities and casinos. It will pass, along with every other indigestible that gets swallowed. The real problem with which our nation must contend is the reality that our thrice-nominated, twice-elected yet toga-less emperor is historically popular and the idol of millions. What does this say about the future of our constitutional democratic republic? How do we fix the real problem?
Perfect column, Jay! Though perhaps consider renaming this site "Trump's Next Move." To save him time. He still has a lot of other things to name after himself.
Re: your objection to renaming DCA Reagan National is well taken, but as a pilot who used to fly into that airport a lot before 9/11, the official name was Washington National Airport. It was already named after our first president who can be argued was greater than all but a couple other presidents so an insult to his memory IMO.
One basic value that Cheeto holds as number one importance is not to be a loser This underscores the Big Lie and all of the political machinations to try to reverse history as if it’s a time machine to go after anything that would state the obvious: he lost the 2020 election
Cheeto was so obsessed with the 2020 election loss that he even rigged the 2024(bit.ly/41UelTx) election with the help of vigilante challenges and with the help of his Nazi allies who love Der Fuhrer’s bravado But like almost everything Cheeto says, the use of the term “rigged” is nothing but a projection of what he himself has and wants to do in the future: Rig elections and his Nazi allies are complicit so that America never has a free and fair election again So once again the Nazi Republicans are experimenting like they did with the fallacious “trickle down economics”
Cheeto has tried to politically engineer mid decade gerrymandering but that become a bust The Nazis have been trying to get voter information so they can nationalize the vigilante challenge theme They created the SAVE act (and yet to pass) to disenfranchise the feminine vote Then he sent Gabbard to Georgia to confiscate 2020 ballots The Cheeto suggested that he’ll get control of voting equipment but his latest gambit is to have 15 GOP states(https://bit.ly/3NRxC4V) take over elections so that it will guarantee that the Nazi Republicans will never lose future elections
Why bother running on policy when you can just assure yourself that the Nazis will not have to worry about election losses? All because Cheeto has held a longstanding belief from his days with his mentor Roy Cohn that he should NEVER BE A LOSER Unfortunately for Cheeto he is and always will be a loser and the polls show it
Naming things like this is not the American Way, but when the madness is over we will follow the ancient Roman solution of damnatio memoriae.

This one really hit me: “The Gulf of Trump” ‼️
He's a very special combination of vile and absurd. I cannot comprehend the mentality that sees him as a great leader, or even a passably decent one.
"[Trump is] one of the most popular political figures in our history." Not any more. His past popularity is disappearing. If we continue to have elections like the recent state senate election in Texas, the Trump downward spiral will take him below 30% instead of below 40% which he is working on.
The swung voters are peeling off but he still has a faithful core. 🙁

You missed out narcissistic (insecure) self-regard. Actually, he's a perfect seven:
Pride: Excessive belief in one's own abilities or self-worth. It is considered the original and most serious sin.
Greed: An immoderate desire for earthly goods and possessions.
Lust: Intense, disordered sexual desire or craving.
Envy: Sadness or desire regarding another's possessions, qualities, or luck.
Gluttony: Overindulgence or consumption, specifically regarding food or drink.
Wrath: Uncontrolled feelings of anger, rage, and hatred.
Sloth: Spiritual laziness, apathy, or failure to utilize one's gifts.
I have heard that the real reason the Kennedy Center will be closed for the next two years is that all or most of the performers scheduled during that period have cancelled in protest. I don't know if it's true, but I hope it is.

I have always believed that Jesus Christ would vehemently object to his followers being called Christians.
"Christ" wasn't His name.
Personally, I see a lot of hot air here.
Is Trump an egomaniac? yes
Are there more important things to pay attention to, than his naming habits?
also yes, emphatically.

A quick look at your profile shows you to have Trump Dick Sucking Disorder - as others have commented; https://substack.com/@les471742/note/c-199025197?r=2mwtce&utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web
Gobble up more of those Andy Ngo and Anne Coulter feces.
Your obscene handle and speech demeans your argument, whatever its merit, and degrades this forum.
Hardly. But your garbled sentence detracts from your credibility. That and the fact that you're the offspring of a conspiracy-addled quack-lover.
Trust the pseudo-science! 🤣 😂

There’s definitely a story there!

Hail Imperator Trump Caesar! Unbelievable!
Maybe rename Alcatraz Trump Villa. And gold plate the bars on one of the cells. He can live in it after he is out of office with the door locked,
He now is what everyone could have known clearly before the elections: a vulgar, corrupt, greedy narcissist and completely incompetent deal maker.
Cheeto’s Nazi Republicans Subverting Elections
