It’s Monday…

President Shitshow’s public schedule for…

02/16/2026:

It’s President’s Day.

The current occupant of the White House has only truthed 13 times since we last met on Friday the 13th. Today, he’s posted once so far.

For any other president, that level of social media restraint wouldn’t even register. With this one, it feels less like calm and more like atmospheric pressure dropping before a storm.

History suggests this lull isn’t discipline. It’s a loading screen.

And when it clears, the account will go from quiet to feral in record time.

Flash News

Puppy Killer Noem held a press conference Friday to promote the SAVE Act. She managed to raise more than a few eyebrows when she said the following:

Kills goats too said:

And elections is another one of those critical infrastructure responsibilities that I have as well.

And I would say that many people believe that it may be one of the most important things that we need to make sure we trust is reliable, and that when it gets to Election Day, that we’ve been proactive to make sure that we have the right people voting, electing the right leaders to lead this country through the days that we have, knowing that people can trust it.

If you need it cleaned up for clarity instead of verbatim, that’s a different surgical procedure.

She held the press conference in Arizona, and when pressed for actual examples of voter fraud, this was her response:

Came with no examples of voter fraud said:

Oh, I’m sure there’s many of them, but we want to make sure that we have — we talked about several of them this morning at our roundtable that we had.

We talked about individuals that may be registered to vote in this state, but truly live in another state. I understand that you have mobile homes and boats on lakes that individuals may have as their voter registration address, but not necessarily that is where they live. They live in another state, such as California or on the East Coast. Those kind of situations are things that your county officials should be bringing forward and be asking your secretary of state for the opportunity to take off the voter rolls if they shouldn’t be there.

One of the 13 posts the current White House resident pushed out since Friday came in the immediate aftermath of that press conference.

Text:

We cannot let the Democrats get away with NO VOTER I.D. any longer. These are horrible, disingenuous CHEATERS. They have all sorts of reasons why it shouldn’t be passed, and then boldly laugh in the backrooms after their ridiculous presentations. If it weren’t such a serious matter, it would be considered a TOTAL JOKE!

No Voter I.D. is even crazier, and more ridiculous, than Men playing in Women’s Sports, Open Borders, or Transgender for Everyone.

Republicans must put this at the top of every speech — It is a CAN’T MISS FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE MIDTERMS, AND BEYOND! Even Democrat Voters agree, 85%, that there should be Voter I.D. It’s only the Political “Leaders,” Crooked Losers like Schumer and Jeffries, that have no shame, and explain why it’s “racist,” and every other thing that they can think of.

This is an issue that must be fought, and must be fought, NOW! If we can’t get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order.

I hope the Supreme Court realizes, as they “painstakingly” review the very simple topic of Country Saving Tariffs (Those same Tariffs that have been used, by other Countries, against the U.S.A. to drain it of its Treasure and Security — for many years!), and all sorts of other things, that are making our Country Rich, Powerful, and Safe Again, that these Corrupt and Deranged Democrats, if they ever gain power, will not only be adding two States to our roster of 50, with all of the baggage thereto, but will also PACK THE COURT with a total of 21 Supreme Court Justices, THEIR DREAM, which they will submit easily and rapidly when they immediately move to terminate the Filibuster, probably in their first week, or sooner.

Our Country will never be the same if they allow these demented and evil people to knowingly, and happily, destroy it.

Thank you for your attention to this matter — SAVE AMERICA!

Attacked Bill Maher.

Text:

Sometimes in life you waste time! T.V. Host Bill Maher asked to have dinner with me through one of his friends, also a friend of mine, and I agreed. He came into the famed Oval Office much different than I thought he would be. He was extremely nervous, had ZERO confidence in himself and, to soothe his nerves, immediately, within seconds, asked for a “Vodka Tonic.” He said to me, “I’ve never felt like this before, I’m actually scared.” In one respect, it was somewhat endearing!

Anyway, we had a great dinner, it was quick, easy, and he seemed to be a nice guy and, for his first show after our dinner, he was very respectful about our meeting — But with everything I have done in bringing our Country back from “OBLIVION,” why wouldn’t he be?

But then I noticed his show started to devolve into the same old story — Very boring, ANTI TRUMP, no mention of the PERFECT Border, Lowest Crime in 125 years, the Mass Removal of Stone Cold Criminals, the 50,000 DOW, the 7,000 S&P (Both Highest Ever!), Least Number of Murders since 1900, Venezuela, “Midnight Hammer,” Soleimani DEAD, al-Baghdadi DEAD, Lowest Inflation in YEARS (1.2% for last three months!), the Rebuilding of our Military, Eight War Stoppages, and on, and on, and on!

In any event, it was a total waste of time for me to have this jerk at the White House and last night, after explaining what a DISASTER Canadian “Leaders” are to deal with, how Canada has “ripped off” the United States for years on TRADE (But not anymore!), I jokingly stated in a TRUTH that, “The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.” Well, he went on and on about the Hockey statement, like “What kind of a person would say such a foolish thing as this,” as though I were being serious when I said it.

Fortunately, his Television Ratings are so low that nobody will learn about his various Fake News statements about me. He is no different than Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert but, I must admit, slightly more talented!

Anyway, Bill Maher is a highly overrated LIGHTWEIGHT, and Republicans should stop using him to show how the Left is coming over our way — Our Base, the Greatest of All Time, laughs at your weakness when you do it!

Maher asked me if he could come back to the White House again and, with his friend, also asked to come to the wonderful White House Christmas Party, but he didn’t. Regardless, I’d much rather spend my time MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN than wasting it on him.

Bill continues to suffer from a severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS!), and there is nothing that will ever be done to cure him of this very serious disease.

Thank you for your attention to this minor matter!

The Daily Beast came the closest to attempting to explain why the Potato lashed out at Maher.

On Friday, Maher called out a “pattern” of personal dealmaking by Trump in exchange for political favors. The president has made an estimated $1.4 billion in the first year of his second term, including $867 million in crypto investments. During his show, Maher called crypto “money laundering.”

The Daily Beast. 02/14/2026.

The Hill explained it this way:

Maher spoke with CNN’s Elex Michaelson in an interview published Saturday about his dinner with Trump, calling the people who stopped watching his show because of the dinner “idiots.” The comedian also poked fun at the president during his Friday night show, specifically asking “what the f—” Trump was referring to in recent Truth Social post where he wrote about China possibly making a deal with Canada and terminating “all ice hockey.”

“Now if, after I had dinner with Donald Trump, I came back to this show and was seduced by that dinner and stopped tearing him a new one every week, every time I thought he did something wrong, then you would have a case,” Maher told Michaelson. “That didn’t happen.”

[snip]

Maher has carried on his criticisms of the president. He called the White House “f—ing hypocrites” after initially defending a since-deleted video depicting former President Obama and former Michelle Obama as apes earlier this month.

The host said Trump’s push for the U.S. to acquire Greenland was “insane” but not “the craziest idea anybody has ever had.”

“And could it be super valuable? Yes,” Maher continued. “Is it worth, like, making the whole world hate us? No.”

The Hill. 02/14/2026.

He’s added a truth since I starting writing the article.

Text:

I am opposed to the future boondoggle known as “Gateway,” in New York/New Jersey, because it will cost many BILLIONS OF DOLLARS more than projected or anticipated, much like Gavin Newscum’s “Railroad” to nowhere, which is many times over budget, with no end in sight, and could financially obliterate what is left, after Newscum, of the California Economy. It is a disaster!

Gateway will likewise be financially catastrophic for the region, unless hard work and proper planning is done, NOW, to avoid insurmountable future cost overruns.

Please let this statement represent the fact that, under no circumstances, will the Federal Government be responsible for ANY COST OVERRUNS – NOT ONE DOLLAR! The Federal Government is willing to meet, however, to make sure that this does not happen!

Also, the naming of PENN Station (I LOVE Pennsylvania, but it is a direct competitor to New York, and “eating New York’s lunch!”) to TRUMP STATION, was brought up by certain politicians and construction union heads, not me – IT IS JUST MORE FAKE NEWS!

NO COST OVERRUNS!!!

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Fuck Trump and the whole trump admin. 02/14/2026.

Friday, the New York Times (gift link) reported that:

Federal funding for the $16 billion Gateway rail tunnel between New York City and New Jersey, which had been suspended for more than four months, began to flow again on Friday after lawyers for the Trump administration told a federal judge on Friday that it would comply with her orders.

The suspension had left the government owing about $205 million to the tunnel’s planners, the Gateway Development Commission, and forced a halt to work on the project last week, as well as the layoff of about 1,000 union workers, the commission said.

The federal government had pledged more than $11 billion toward the tunnel project, which has been billed as the most urgent major infrastructure project in the United States. But at the end of September, administration officials said they would stop the flow of that funding while they reviewed the project’s contracts for compliance with revised federal regulations.

New York Times (gift link). 02/13/2026.

A few weeks ago, it was reported that Potato’s administration floated a deal to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY): Gateway funding in exchange for renaming two travel hubs after Potato.

Politico (02/05/2026):

The three people, granted anonymity to discuss a sensitive negotiation, said President Donald Trump would agree to release the funding for the Gateway project, which has been held up since October — but that his ask was that both Washington Dulles International Airport outside Washington and Pennsylvania Station in New York City be renamed for the president.

Schumer (D-N.Y.) declined the offer, according to two people with knowledge of the request. “There was nothing to trade,” said a person close to Schumer. “The president stopped the funding and he can restart the funding with a snap of his fingers.”

The White House did not respond to a request for comment.

Politico (02/05/2026).

When asked about the reports, Potato told the press that it was Schumer that floated the idea.

On the 10th of February Propaganda Barbie said:

Reporter: And on infrastructure, can you explain why President Trump asked Chuck Schumer to help him rename Penn Station and Dulles Airport after himself? Why is he interested in having his name on those two buildings? And why are the Gateway Tunnel funds the proper point of pressure to get that to happen?

Propaganda Barbie: To your first question about the renaming, why not? It was something the president floated in his conversation with Chuck Schumer. As for the funding, the president has addressed that separately himself.

I’m gonna end it there.

There’s always tomorrow to catch up with other news…
