It’s Tuesday…

President Shitshow’s public schedule for…

11/11/2025:

Today is Veterans Day. No hyperbole, no grand speeches from me. Just acknowledgment. Service is real. The cost is real. And the people who served deserve more than hashtags and slogans.

Former President Joe Biden:

This Veterans Day, we honor all the brave men and women who answered the call to serve and defend. Our nation is stronger and our democracy more secure because of their service and sacrifice.

Former VP Harris:


Flash News

The US government told the Supreme’s the “wrong numbers” during oral arguments on tariffs…

President Doesn’t Know what Magnets are also doesn’t understand the difference between tariffs and investments.

He’s now claiming that if the tariffs fall, the “investments” made during his tariff era would have to be “given back.”
That’s not how this works.
Investments aren’t refundable coupons stapled to trade policy. They don’t unwind because a tariff schedule changes. They are private capital decisions made by companies, not something he personally “secured.”

Tariffs ≠ trade deals ≠ private investments.
He’s talking like all of it came out of one wallet. It didn’t.

Speaking of terrible economic policies…

In a wide-ranging interview of “OMG HOW STUPID IS THE PRESIDENT?” hosted by Fox Entertainment’s Laura Ingraham, the president was asked about his administration exploring 50-year mortgages. The idea was first floated, with zero detail and maximum confidence, on “Lies” social.

The Clip:

Ingraham: Housing costs are still out of reach. And another thing that your administration is trying to tackle: many Americans — the average age of first-time homebuyers is now up to age 40, which is sad for the country you and I grew up in.

President It’s Not Even a Big Deal: I inherited that. Look, you have to understand —

Ingraham: Right, but let me get to the question. Your housing director has proposed something that has enraged your MAGA friends, which is this 50-year mortgage idea. There’s been significant MAGA backlash, calling it a giveaway to the banks and simply prolonging the time it would take for Americans to own a home outright. Is that really a good idea?

President It’s Not Even a Big Deal: It’s not even a big deal. I mean, you know, you go from 40 to 50 years and what it means is you pay — you pay something less. From 30, some people had a 40 and now they have a 50. All it means is you pay less per month. You pay it over a longer period of time. It’s not like a big factor. It might help a little bit. But the problem was that Biden did this. He increased the interest rates. And I have a lousy Fed person who’s going to be gone in a few months, fortunately.

According to reporting from Politico we got here because our President was manipulated by some asshole with a giant photo…

A graphic of former President Franklin Roosevelt appeared below ’30-year mortgage’ and one of Trump below ’50-year mortgage.’ The headline was ‘Great American Presidents.’ “Roughly 10 minutes later, Trump posted the image to Truth Social, according to one of the people familiar, who was with the president at the time.” @DashaBurns@SophiaCai99

White House officials are furious with Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director, who talked the president into suggesting a 50-year mortgage plan.

The White House was blindsided by the idea, according to two people familiar with the situation granted anonymity to discuss internal thinking, and is now dealing with a furious backlash from conservative allies, business leaders and lawmakers.

A graphic of former President Franklin Roosevelt appeared below “30-year mortgage” and one of Trump below “50-year mortgage.” The headline was “Great American Presidents.”

Roughly 10 minutes later, Trump posted the image to Truth Social, according to one of the people familiar, who was with the president at the time.

Almost immediately, aides were fielding angry phone calls from those who thought the idea – which would endorse a 50 year payback period for a mortgage – was both bad politics and bad policy, a move that could raise housing costs in the long run, the person said.

“He just sold POTUS a bill of goods that wasn’t necessarily accurate,” the person said. “He said ‘FDR did it, you can do it, it’s gonna be a big thing.’ But he didn’t tell him about all the unintended consequences.”

Politico. 11/10/2025.

A 50-year mortgage doesn’t make housing affordable — it just makes sure you’re still paying for it when the obituary runs.

But what can we expect from the man who, five minutes earlier in the same interview, said the stress people feel over “affordability” is simply a Democrat Con Job.

Ingraham: The economy was listed as a top concern for voters in New Jersey, New York, and Virginia. I know you’ve been all over the affordability issue today and for the last several months. Eggs, gas, dinner costs for Thanksgiving — way down — but other things, as you noted, have gone up: beef, coffee, auto repairs. Is this a voter perception issue of the economy, or is there more that needs to be done by Republicans on Capitol Hill or done in terms of policy?

President It’s a Con Job: More than anything else, it’s a con job by the Democrats. They’re saying — they just have to say — you know, they put out something, say today, “Costs are up.” They feed it to the anchors of ABC, CBS, and NBC, and a lot of others — and you know, CNN, etc. And it’s like a standard. I’ll never forget, they had used a word like “manufactured.” Do you remember the word? “It’s a manufactured economy.” Nobody uses that word. Every anchor, broker — “manufactured.” They do exactly what they say. It’s such a rigged system.

So, are you ready? Costs are way down. Gasoline is going to be hitting $2 pretty soon, or around $2. Gasoline is at $2.70 now, and it was at $4.50 under Biden — under Sleepy Joe. When gasoline comes down, when energy comes down — and everybody agrees energy is down — we’re drill, you know, drill baby drill. We’re going like wild. We produced more gasoline, oil, and gas in the last month than we ever have before, by far. And we’re going to also end up filling up the national strategic reserves, which were taken out by Biden in order to try and win an election. Didn’t work out too well. They tapped in. That’s supposed to be for war, for national emergency — not to get votes.

Ingraham: So are you saying that voters are perceiving how they feel, or—

President It’s a Con Job: So, when I took over — you remember, because you said Biden did that too, because he was saying things were great — it’s synonymous. Biden and Kamala — you know, because you didn’t know who the hell was campaigning. I mean, it got to a point. So I was up by 20 points on Biden or some crazy number. And they said, “All right, let’s get him out. We’ll put a new one.” This never happened to anybody. All of a sudden, they have somebody new, and they had the six-week honeymoon, you know, which was standard in the world of politics. She gets a little honeymoon, and she had her little honeymoon. But then eventually people got to know her too. And then they had the 60 Minutes catastrophe, where they, you know, changed her answer.

The pattern is the point.

Tariffs sold as free money.
Housing “fixed” by making the mortgage outlive you.
Affordability dismissed as a Democrat Con Job.

The message is always the same:
If something hurts, you’re not really hurting — you’re just being tricked.

But the grocery bill is real.
The rent is real.
The interest rate is real.
And the people feeling the squeeze are real.

The only thing that’s a con is being told not to believe your own life.

Flash News. Done.
