It’s Thursday…
President Shitshow’s public schedule for…

Embarrassment began the day by convening the first meeting of his so-called “Board of Peace,” a carefully staged attempt to project authority on the world stage. Instead, it underscored how often optics are substituted for outcomes.
Here’s Embarrassment claiming nobody knew what to call the building — until he became president.
Trump: This building… Marco named it after me. I had nothing to do with it. I had no idea. They said there's a surprise coming. I thought they would give me a lot of money, maybe some cash, can always use extra cash. pic.twitter.com/HxshGcROw1

President Trump, hosting a Board of Peace meeting at the US Institute of Peace building his administration has named for him, falsely claimed of the building:

Show more =’s 1) “It was built without anybody in mind.” It was custom-built for USIP. 2) “Nobody occupied it.” It was occupied by USIP until the Trump administration locked out the organization last year.
An act of Congress in 1984 established the United States Institute of Peace.
On October 19, 1984, President Ronald W. Reagan approved Public Law 98–525, which also is cited as the “Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1985” (98 Stat. 2492). One hundred and sixty-nine pages in length, this new law authorized appropriations for the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, as well as having other purposes, which included the establishment of “the United States Institute of Peace” (98 Stat. 2651).

But sure, Embarrassment, nobody knew what to call it until it could be named after you.
At a meeting meant to project global stability, Embarrassment took a moment to explain that he doesn’t like “young, handsome men” — but does like “young women.” He then contrasted JD Vance as a strong college student with “one young attractive woman” in Munich who, he claimed, “was unable to answer questions and she did not do so well like JD did in college.”
Trump: Young, handsome guy. Always nice to be young and handsome. Doesn't mean we have to like you. I don't like young, handsome men. Women I like. Men I don't have any interest. pic.twitter.com/E7P1qhExyp

Trump: JD Vance, he was a great student, he went to one school, graduated. If you watch some of the people that were at the event in Munich, they didn't graduate quickly from college. One young attractive woman was unable to answer questions. pic.twitter.com/xVZTAcfWkX

Young attractive woman =’s Congresswoman AOC of New York.
Embarrassment’s name appears numerous times in the released Epstein files, and his past social relationship with Epstein has long been documented. On a day when those materials are back in international headlines, emphasizing words like “young,” “handsome,” and “attractive” during an official event is not just tone-deaf — it’s politically reckless.

I got some other clips to share from the Board of Peace of event.
I don’t care about the Nobel Peace Prize.
Trump: Norway has agreed to host an event bringing together the board of peace. I thought when it saw this note I thought they were going to say they're giving me the Nobel prize. This is less exciting. pic.twitter.com/MoEUJV6Vcb

Minutes later.
Trump: I want to thank Gianni and FIFA. They gave me their first peace prize. They saw that I got screwed by Norway and they said let’s give him a peace prize. pic.twitter.com/SZ6TSv4MXO

Later today in Rome, Georgia, he’s set to deliver remarks on the economy — because nothing says steady leadership like a full news cycle built on spectacle.
The BEA released trade deficit numbers for December this morning.
The United States’ trade deficit in goods and services increased to $70.3 billion in December. https://t.co/D4SKo2qcyA

Those numbers came just hours after Embarrassment posted this on Lies Social.

Through November, the US trade deficit was 4% *higher* in 2025 than it was in 2024. https://t.co/VYI5dCW3Ej

Show more =’s So where does Trump’s claim of a 78% reduction come from? It’s about a decline in one month, October 2025, that experts immediately said was going to be temporary because it was related to short-term fluctuations in gold and pharma trade…and indeed, the November trade deficit was 95% higher than October’s. The December and full-2025 figures will be out tomorrow morning.
Speaking of Rome, GA.
With the retirement of Rep. MTG, Georgia’s 14th District will hold a special election to fill the vacant seat.
On the 4th of February the Embarrassment endorsed Clay Fuller.

On February 16th, he was asked about his trip to Rome, GA., part of MTG’s old district. He said there were a lot of people wanting the seat, “many many candidates” but “I have to choose one”.
Trump: We have a lot of people who want to take Marjorie “Traitor” Greene’s place. Many candidates. I have to choose one. pic.twitter.com/kAPbSxbWE8

February 17th, he was reminded that he had already endorsed Clay Fuller and proceeded to retweet his February 4th endorsement.

I’m gonna call it there. I’ll try again tomorrow to include news that was cut do to me being distracted by the 2 hours long bored of Peace…
more than two hours into this "Board of Peace" meeting, we are now enduring random world leader open mic time and Trump's eyes are closed pic.twitter.com/wX2MJg1z65
