FRIDAY: The gentleman's conduct gets stranger and stranger!

FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 2025

Just look somewhere else, press says: To our eye and to our ear, President Trump's behavior has been getting stranger and stranger of late.

We aren't speaking about minor word choices from someone who is a very limited talker. We're speaking, for example, about the crazy reposts to Trust Social which you can link to through this report at Mediaite:

'Trump Shares a Bunch of Off-the-Wall Memes in Rollercoaster Truth Social Spree—Including One With Obama and Hillary Behind Bars

President Donald Trump went on a rollercoaster re-posting spree on his Truth Social platform Wednesday during which he shared a number of off-the-wall memes—including several alluding to the imprisonment of his political enemies.

The president began re-posting shortly before 7 a.m. ET Wednesday—in all sharing 30 memes and other posts from his followers. The one sure to raise the most eyebrows was a meme in which 14 major Democratic politicians were depicted behind bars, with the caption: “Until this happens, nothing will change.” Among those included in the image; former President Barack Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and former FBI director James Comey.

And so on from there. 

In fact, Wednesday's latest depiction of Obama-in-chains has raised very few eyebrows. As is the well-established norm by now, major news orgs have simply chosen to ignore this peculiar behavior.

At this point, the president seems to want to lock everyone up, possibly including Jessica Tarlov. For his initial depiction of Obama-in-chains, you can just click this.

Meanwhile, in what seems to be an erratic manner, he's gone back to changing his tariffs on the fly—and then, this morning, it happened!

An undesirable jobs report appeared. According to this Wall Street Journal brief update, the president knew what to do next:

Trump Orders Firing of BLS Chief

President Trump said he directed his team to fire the top Bureau of Labor Statistics official after the bureau issued a weak jobs report on Friday.

Trump in a social media post said Erika McEntarfer, the BLS commissioner, would be “replaced with someone much more competent and qualified,” asserting without evidence that the government’s jobs numbers have been manipulated for political purposes.

To our eye and to our ear, the president's behavior has been highly erratic. To our major news orgs, we might say this:

Thank you for your lack of attention to this ongoing matter!

  1. "about the crazy reposts to Trust [sic] Social "

    Bob, that's his personal social media page. What compels you to read it? I don't know what kind of shit you put on your facebook page, nor do I care. Why do you care about Donald Trump's truth-social page?

    "been highly erratic"

    What in the world is erratic about replacing an incompetent/unqualified official with competent and qualified one? Are you nuts?

    1. A person is incompetent if their stats are inaccurate, not when they reflect unfavorably on the president's competence. Somerby is right to be concerned about this firing, but where has he been. A whole lot of people have already been fired for political reasons without a peep from Somerby.

    2. Nothing to worry about, Corby: when you're elected, you'll hire all of them right back.

    4. asserting without evidence that the government’s jobs numbers have been manipulated for political purposes.

      Without evidence, maggot brain. That is the important point. Nothing coming out of that fat orange chickenshit's lying mouth can be taken at face value, fuckface.

    5. I would call a person who can't figure why dear leader deems a person as qualified when the numbers are good for dear leader, and is not qualified when the numbers are bad for dear leader, as incompetent. Or a fucking deranged cult weirdo. And/or possibly covers for pedophiles. You can pick.

    7. DiC on a number of occasions has expressed confidence in the employees at ye olde labor department, because, and this is actually what he said, they are mostly Democrats and wouldn’t lie for Trump. Welp, now we see why we the reality-based commenters were worried about the government statistics coming from this admin.

      Delete
    8. Trump was wrong. Correcting earlier estimates is normal. .e.g, just today the Labor Dept. reported that they had overstated job gains in the past two months when Trump was President, just as they overstated some job gains when Biden was President.

    9. Go fuck yourself, Dickhead in Cal. Trump wasn't "wrong", jerkoff, he was just being Trump, a fucking lying sack of shit, megalomaniacal punk bully. You know, Dickhead, the guy you crawled naked through a Paris sewer to vote for. So fuck off.

    10. Trump was wrong?

      Maybe it was just brilliant hyperbole.

    11. I’d like to hear from DiC how we can ever trust the statistics ever again. At this point, any bad news will get you fired. It’s sick, it’s disgusting, it’s Kim Jong un territory.

  2. The press has been covering all this stuff and more. It is Somerby who has been ignoring it in his blog.

  3. It seems a bit late for Somerby to be concluding that something is wrong with Trump.

    1. You may not have noticed, but Somerby has been suggesting that there may be something wrong with Trump for years.

      Delete
    2. I’m afraid the problem is bigger than Trump, and yes, he and his admin LIE, all the time. Ooh, did Somerby just have a sad when I said they LIE? Let’s all pity poor Donald, says Somerby. What a f*king moron.

      Delete
    3. And Somerby likes to portray what’s happening as “blue America” being stormed, like Troy, by “red America.” Yeah, he likes to politicize everything. The reality is that all of us, every American, will suffer under this evil clown, but Somerby loves to depict it as a defeat purely for liberals.

  4. "Thank you for your lack of attention to this ongoing matter!"

    There is nothing witty about this snark. The sentence has been odd all along, coming from the president. Now that Trump is showing signs of dementia, it is time for those around him to do something to protect the nation from his misbehavior. Somerby needs to be calling for that to happen, not engaging in wordplay that blames the media for Trump's obvious misconduct.

    A quibble (with the original report, not Our Host's citation of it): Comey is NOT a "Democratic politician." He is a law enforcement official who was registered as a Republican voter for most of his adult life. He has gained the enmity of the current president, however that does not determine his party affiliation.

    1. Comey is clearly neither a member of the Repube or Democrat party; but a member of the DEEP STATE PARTY!!! /s

    2. The Deep State put the diaper wearing rapist in his place, when they told him to drop the Epstein investigation.
      Honestly, I think the Lady would have put up a better fight than the 400 lb. weakling, we elected to be President.

  6. "Until this happens, nothing will change."

    Trump seems to be advocating we elect a president who can make this happen.

  8. Draining the Swamp:

    NEW: FEC records show Elizabeth Fago donated $1 million to MAGA Inc, the Trump super PAC, in April.

    She attended a fundraising dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago April 4.

    She lobbied Trump to pardon her son, who had pleaded guilty to tax crimes.

    3 weeks later, Trump issued the pardon.

  10. Selling pardons is corrupt; granting favors to pedophiles is outright despicable; but cooking the nation’s economic statistics is a whole ‘nother level of vileness, in my opinion. Now we’re flying blind into the storm.

  11. Trump, the “godsend.”

    “19th century tariffs did not accelerate US industrialization.

    Yes, the Great Depression was caused by US tariffs, specifically the tariffs of 1922.”

  12. Whatever holdover effects of Biden's presidency on the economy existed can now, at 7 months into this administration's tenure, be allocated to the dustbin of history. The waiting is over! Let's call it the big beautiful Trump econo- say what? The jobs report has been downgraded? Unemployment is up? Every major index in the stock market is down? The dollar is devalued greater than 10%? Gas prices are up? Other countries aren't going to pay the tariffs? The tax plan will be tanking the national debt?

    Well don't you worry, because this economy is going to look great again as soon as the Orange genius gets finished firing whoever says otherwise. Donnie's got an accountant on his rolodex who can value this country's economy with the same accuracy he did for those Manhattan properties a few years back.

    1. Yes, we all have to stand by impotently watching the mad king arbitrarily impose insane levels of tariffs on the fucking entire world including penguins, after the US Court of International Trade (CIT) on May 28, 2025, invalidated a significant portion of the Trump administration's tariff program. Prince Orange Chickenshit just says fuck you and keeps doing it anyway. And here we stand, watching him light the fucking economy on fire and listening to his sycophantic administration tell us what a glorious genius he is.

  14. Trump's raping of children is one thing, but screwing with the economy, like it was a 13-year old that reminded him of his daughter, might be a bridge too far.
