More of the prancing dance<\/a>, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

Trump doubles down on feud with Italian Prime Minister Meloni, insisting she asked for G7 photo\u00a0 [CNN<\/a><\/strong>, paywall]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yep, more hand waving, please don’t look at … this:<\/p>\n

That’s right, Trump’s much touted peace-treaty, in progress, is hitting rocks and sinking as Iran claims both Israel and the United States are violating the cease-fire. Meanwhile, Trump is busy with, frankly, sleazy implications concerning the prime minister of Italy, claiming she begged for a picture with him.<\/p>\n

Seems unlikely, even for the leader of a far-right Italian party.<\/p>\n

And how about that Reflecting Pool debacle?<\/p>\n

Algae, peeling blue material, conspiracy theories: Reflecting Pool takes national spotlight [CNN<\/strong><\/a>, paywall]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>Could it be deliberate<\/strong>? Sure, it could be, although I have no way to prove one way or the other.<\/p>\n

And there’s other news, but look for the news that’s important, news that invalidates claims of military glory. Trump’s failures such as the Reflecting Pool renovation will generate outrage from some, but the real threats to his Presidency are the Epstein Files<\/strong> and Trump’s Lost War<\/em>. He wants you to think Meloni adores him and the Pool was sabotaged, rather than consider the possibility that his name is quite popular in the files of a pedophile, and that a war he chose to initiate because he desires gratification above all, that is causing inflation crippling to many citizens he’s supposed to protect, is being lost due to his incompetence.<\/p>\n

No, governance is never easy, and if you think it is, you’re a schmuck or quite young.<\/p>\n

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and\u00a0wrong<\/strong>.
