It’s Tuesday…

President Shitshow’s public schedule for…

02/10/2026:

Signing time and policy talks locked down, press kept outside while Propaganda Barbie handles the narrative. If a rule gets inked, they might wheel reporters in at the last minute and call it transparency.


Tuesday News Mess

Yesterday into today, the Puddle returned to social media with another bout of emotional word vomit. We’ll spare you the full flood and stick to a post or two.

Oh, Canada.

The text:

As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST!

But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel.

Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING!

Ontario won’t even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don’t think so.

The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.

The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk.

I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY.

With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

He’s so fucking stupid. 02/09/2026.

Before we talk about the bridge, let’s unpack the industrial-sized load of bullshit he squeezed into that post.

Ontario won’t even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don’t think so.

U.S. spirits aren’t allowed on Ontario shelves because of Trump’s Tariffs.

From there, the rant swerves into China and hockey, because apparently geopolitics now runs through the NHL.

This isn’t the first time he’s mashed together Canada’s EV deal with China and the “death” of hockey like those things belong in the same universe.

Reporter:
Mr. President, what do you think about the UK getting into business with China? Keir Starmer was in Beijing.

Puddle:
Well, it’s very dangerous for them to do that, and it’s even more dangerous, I think, for Canada to get into business with China. Canada’s not doing well. Uh, they’re doing very poorly. And then you can’t look at China as the answer. That’s, I know China very well. I know President Xi is a friend of mine.

I know him very well, but that’s a, that’s a big hurdle to go over when you get Canada. The first thing they’re gonna do is say, “You’re not allowed to play ice hockey anymore.” That’s not good. Canada’s not gonna like.

Roll call.com. 01/29/2026.

Reporter:
And the Canada tariffs, sir, that you talked about, are those coming?

Puddle:
Well, that was on the airplanes. Are you talking about (inaudible)?

Reporter:
No, about the, the China deal that they, they did.

Puddle:
Oh, well, if, if they do a deal with China, yeah, we’ll do something very substantial, because we can’t, look, I have a great relationship with China presidency, but we don’t want China to take over Canada. And if they make the deal that he’s looking to make, China will take over Canada. And the first thing they’re going to do, end ice hockey.

YouTube shitty transcript. Formatted using ChatGPT. The post is from 02/01/2026. Remarks said on 01/31/2026.

Before he explained that China would end Ice Hockey he truthed out he hoped China would “leave Ice Hockey alone”.

The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk.

Canada’s dairy tariffs are quota-based, so the scary “high tariff” numbers only apply after imports cross a set limit.

Anyway, back to the bridge.

Here’s a gift link, in case anyone wants to read it.

Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens (found via the WaPo article above) posted on Twitter yesterday following the unhinged post from Puddle.

This morning Mayor Dilkens expanded his thoughts on Twitter.


Commerce Secretary Howard “nutlick” Lutnick testified before a Senate hearing. With the White House site a mess and basic scheduling info harder to find than it should be, I had no idea this was even happening. He was, of course, asked about his claim that he cut ties with Epstein before it was revealed Epstein was a child predator and sex trafficker.

Barely knew him, okay?

*Flashback*

*End Flashback*

Today, he admits he had lunch on his private island with his kids, wife, and their nannies.

Show more =’s And we had lunch on the island. That is true. For an hour. And we left with all of my children.

Maybe he doesn’t count an island as a room.

Acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Todd Lyons was also on the Hill today, we will cover that nightmare tomorrow.


The FBI has released new images from the home of Nancy Guthrie taken the night of her disappearance.

Show more =’s that may have been lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors – including the removal of recording devices. The video was recovered from residual data located in backend systems.   Working with our partners – as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie’s front door the morning of her disappearance.   Anyone with information, please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit http://tips.fbi.gov

He has a second tweet, I can’t embed here.
