In the early 21st century the House of Trump became patrons of witless tweets, tasteless television, vile insults, oafish speeches, venal commerce, backwoods science and self absorbed philosophy. One of the best works of art surviving this period is the Mona Goya.
I used to be on the board of a museum and I get that people try hard to preserve cultural treasures and talented interpretations of our era. But god help us.
Salvator Mundi sold for $450M but its a badly executed fake. Didn't matter. Hundreds of millions from an oligarch to a dictator to pay for Israel dirty trickster paid by Nader, intro'd by Prince, to elect Trump. Conspiracy theory or true? #ArtOfTheStealnarativ.org/2019/01/02/sal…
Trump did a book deal. 'The Art of the Deal" It was all bullshit and puffery. He wasn't an artist. He didn't have talent. He had daddy's money. Trump was a fake. Just like all the gilt furniture and faux gold he uses in his Tower, home and businesses. newyorker.com/magazine/2016/…
The "art" of Donald Trump is that everything he has done is "fake". Trickery, false perspective, artful touches and creative deceit. Donald should have been a painter. He was already rich enough to go to art school and smoke weed and argue Proust. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Donald is an artist. A con artist. He is a showman. He was on TV pretending to be rich. He had casinos that lost money. He wrote books that were scams. He had a university that was sued. He had a charity that stole from kids. The man is fucking artist. bbc.com/future/article…
He is such an artist that he paints his face every day. He is a prolific Twitter haikuist. He has invented more new words than Shakespeare. Every day he inspires the world to be creative and interpret our world through art. #ThankYouForYourArtServicepulse.ng/bi/politics/th…

Nixon demanded suitcases of cash from business backers and the mob. The ex-CIA "Plumbers" did numerous illegal tasks and their roots were in his old VP-era Operation 40 era Bay of Pigs program. Yes, he was our first crook-in-chief. Watergate was just the gig he got caught for.
Trump is the chosen one to destroy the United States. Mercenaries who will suffer no shame when we are kneecapped, confused, bickering, impoverished, isolated and scared...then autocracy will over. This is the wish of our foreign enemies. Obey. newamerica.org/future-securit…
A lot of smart people have spent a lot of time trying to explain that MAGA is a foreign virus that requires reading, organizing and a lot of effort to stamp out. Just like Brexit , America was played. Elon and the oligarchs took over Russia's dirty work.fbi.gov/news/press-rel…
The Rockbridge Network is just one pustule of this deadly virus. They claim that they are disrupters, "a kind of political venture capital firm”. Yes America is for sale and its important to know who is buying it. influencewatch.org/organization/t…
We are used to our own government propagandizing certain topics but this problem is from outside through social media and direct marketing. Hostile foreign operations at a level below warfare.
I have worked for some of the world's finest news organizations. Created others. I want people to think for themselves. I am a large, scarred dinosaur in a jungle of bodywash-sprayed, beard-trimmed, ball-shaved, hat backwards, YouTube experts. niemanlab.org/2024/11/two-th…
Favorite song is about young men sleeping together
Lives in whorehouses Liberace would go “ick” at
His old Queen hair
His old Queen makeup
His rented beard wife
Obsession with bag boys
His first lawyer
There are probably a lot more.
Why did I bring this up? Like queer Roy Cohn who viciously went after gays Trump is going destroy the right of gays to marry and be happy. vox.com/politics/38596…
Trump is a very confused unhappy angry man. A lonely man who is only at peace when jerking off two towel boys in time to a gay club anthem in front of live audience.
Why: Voter suppression. Something that has brutal consequences in undeveloped nations and financial benefits in developed nations. Remember 2016? Rich split trader guy with tax problems goes hard to elect Trump. opensecrets.org/news/2018/04/e…
The first test was't really Brexit, where stupid people were fooled. The voter suppression tool had been used in Africa with Israeli fuckery groups to cheat and deceive voters. Yes, Virginia, it happened here in 2024. Again. newyorker.com/news/our-colum…
Like Rapey Donny, is it a requirement to have an awkward history with women? Should we need a "Don't Date Him Gurl -MAGA Edition" site?thehill.com/homenews/house…
