The citizens of this nation should be comforted knowing that they have a leader who is spending his time on critical initiatives like policing who uses which bathrooms, flooding California farmlands, and pitching cheesy merchandise and self-exalting books&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65052\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Wants to Run America Like his Businesses \u2013 Trump Media and Crypto \u2013 That are Crashing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Friday morning Trump added to his list of priorities a couple of long-festering problems that have been in dire need of solutions. He posted his intentions on his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, to let everyone know just how focused he is on America&#8217;s most urgent issues.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s first message made plain his determination to resolve a matter that surely takes precedence over immigration, school shootings, drug trafficking, homelessness, wars in Ukraine and Gaza, climate change, and the high price of eggs and gas. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/29496\" target=\"_blank\">Trump wrote that<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I will be signing an Executive Order next week ending the ridiculous Biden push for Paper Straws, which don\u2019t work. BACK TO PLASTIC!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thank God! We absatively have to drop everything else and ban those horrible paper straws and return to the plastic variety that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aza.org\/connect-stories\/stories\/how-do-straws-hurt-the-environment\" target=\"_blank\">are known for<\/a><\/strong> <em>&#8220;releasing chemicals into the soil, air, and water that are harmful to animals, plants, people, and the environment.&#8221;<\/em> Why hasn&#8217;t anyone sought to do this before?<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s next message sought to further his long battle against the free press that he refers to in Stalinist terms as <em>&#8220;the enemy of the people.&#8221;<\/em> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/29495\" target=\"_blank\">He wrote that<\/a><\/strong>&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post is INCOMPETENT! So sad to see him trying to justify the waste, fraud, and corruption at USAID with his pathetic Radical Left SPIN. He should be fired immediately!!!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s about time that the U.S. government clamp down on wayward reporters who have the audacity to exercise their rights under the Constitution&#8217;s First Amendment. Especially Pulitzer Prize-winning columnists like Robinson. And leave it Trump, who regularly castigates the press and calls for censorship by the government, to lash out at a journalist and demand that he be fired.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear what Trump was specifically referring to in his harangue. However, it is likely that he <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/tv\/he-should-be-fired-immediately-trump-rips-washington-post-columnist-following-morning-joe-segment-on-usaid\/\" target=\"_blank\">watched Robinson on MSNBC<\/a><\/strong> offering well-deserved criticism of Trump&#8217;s assault on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.gov\/agencies\/u-s-agency-for-international-development\" target=\"_blank\">the USAID program<\/a><\/strong> that <em>&#8220;is the principal U.S. agency to extend assistance to countries recovering from disaster, trying to escape poverty, and engaging in democratic reforms.&#8221;<\/em> How dare they?<\/p>\n<p>What probably triggered Trump was Robinson speculating that Trump and Musk were using USAID <em>&#8220;as kind of a demonstration project, just to see how we can destroy an agency and demoralize the rest of the federal workforce.&#8221;<\/em> Which would perfectly align with the behavior of the MAGA boys and their orchestrated coup.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Trump added <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/trumpstruth.org\/statuses\/29503\" target=\"_blank\">another comment<\/a><\/strong> announcing that he is appointing himself as the chair of the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees, and terminating the current chair and <em>&#8220;multiple individuals&#8221;<\/em> from the Board. Why? Because he has nothing better to do (Elon&#8217;s running everything), and what the Center has been missing is a clod who has no relationship with modern culture? So look for future inductees like Kid Rock, Scott Baio, Roseanne Barr, and even Ivanka.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, there will be more of this sort of bullshittery to come, until they can be stopped by an uprising of protest among the masses, the Democrats in Congress, and the courts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65083\" target=\"_blank\">By Trump\u2019s Deranged Logic the U.S. Should Takeover Israel and Relocate All of its Residents<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65010\" target=\"_blank\">Trump is a Terrorist at War with the US Government, and the American People are His Hostages<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=64955\" target=\"_blank\">Trump 2.0 Begins with Approval Ratings that Rank Below Every Other President Dating Back to 1953<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/newscorpse.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s good to know that Donald Trump isn&#8217;t just playing golf, proposing hostile takeovers of U.S. allies (Canada, Mexico, Greenland, etc.), nominating unqualified and anti-American Cabinet secretaries, terminating career prosecutors and FBI agents, and masterminding fascist coups of government agencies in order to sabotage their work.
