Every single time I think Trump can’t go any lower, he goes much lower. Today’s blog post hits a few of the highlight (or lowlights!) of the past week.

I tried to be a good blogger this week. I made an effort Monday through yesterday to not post about Trump, but I can only remain silent for so long. If you read my blog on a regular basis, you know that.

I cannot and will not sit idly by while I have this platform. I’m sorry this is long, but please stay with it to the end.

Death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller

We found out last weekend just how small and callous Donald Trump is.

Former FBI Director Robert Mueller died at the age of 81. He was respected by people of both political parties. He was a lifelong servant of the people. He volunteered for military duty during the Vietnam War and received a Purple Heart after being shot in the leg.

Upon hearing the news of Mueller’s death from Parkinson’s Disease, President Trump put on his Truth Social account: “Robert Mueller just died. Good. I’m glad he’s dead.”

It is sad that such a civil servant died of a devastating disease at the age of 81; however, it is tragic that the little man sitting in the Oval Office is so self-absorbed and evil-spirited that he wrote such an abhorrent thing.

It was that same Vietnam War Robert Mueller got wounded in that Donald Trump weaseled out of going to after he and his father got a doctor to claim he had bone spurs. He has been ridiculing the veterans of that war ever since.

When a person shows you what they are, believe them. If there is anyone out there who still thinks Trump was sent by God to save America… you might want to look in the mirror and ask yourself which god you and Trump believe in.

Speaking of religion… “Make it for Jesus!”

Has there ever been a U.S. President more devoid of knowledge of Christianity?

On Monday, Trump said he wants photo voter ID with proof of citizenship to be par to the Homeland Security bill. He addressed his remarks to the Republicans and said, “You don’t have to worry about going home for Easter break. Make this one for Jesus. Make it for Jesus. That’s what I tell ‘em. It would be a d_mn good thing.”

Jesus was all about loving your neighbor – and everyone is your neighbor. He was all about taking care of the sick, the poor, the lonely.

Trump is all about hating his neighbors – which is everyone who doesn’t lick his boots. He is all about taking healthcare away from the sick, making poor people pay higher prices for necessities, and ignoring the lonely.

Every single thing I can think of that Jesus demonstrated and asked us to do, Trump demonstrates the opposite and spouts out hate for everyone.

The irony of it all is that the movement is being led by a little orange man who would not know a Christian if he met one.

Can someone please tell Trump that Jesus is not concerned about voter ID or citizenship in the United States? My hunch is that Jesus is more concerned about the way Christians are treating people. For the Republicans to vote a requirement into law that in order to vote in the United States one must present a certified birth certificate would not be a gift for Jesus. Voting for photo voter ID or voter proof of citizenship will not get a single Republican into heaven. 

Yet again, the U.S. President is pushing for a solution to a problem that has been proven not to exist.

The United States of America is not a theocracy… yet.

The Inaugural America First Award

Knowing that we have the neediest U.S. President ever, the Republican Party invented a new award this week.

At the National Republican Congressional Committee fundraising dinner on March 25, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, with Congressman Richard Hudson of North Carolina proudly standing by his side, announced the creation of the America First Award to be bestowed upon Donald Trump.

It seems that the Republicans in Congress are so enamored with Donald Trump that they must go above and beyond supporting him through thick and thin, through peace time and war, through government shutdowns, and through the dismantling of our medical research, public education, museums, national parks, clean air, and the East Wing of the White House.

Their unflinching support of their puppet master is not enough. They couldn’t help themselves. They had to create a new award with Trump in mind, claiming it will be an annual award. It boggles the mind to think just how many years they will give Donald Trump the America First Award.

Of course, as everything Trumpian requires, the award comes complete with a gold trophy. It can be proudly displayed in the Oval Office next to the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize he was given in December to soothe his ego for not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize.

Please remember that Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was the recipient of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize and, even though she literally gave him the physical part of that honor, the Nobel Committee was quick to assert that Ms. Machado is still the recipient and it in no way belongs to Donald Trump.

U.S. Department of the Treasury bowing to Trump

The U.S. Treasury Department “has considered” minting a new one-dollar coin with Trump’s image on both sides. Well, isn’t that special?

Fortunately, Americans don’t want to carry around heavy coins. Most Americans don’t even carry paper currency now. They sure don’t want a pocket full of big ugly coins bearing Trump’s likeness!

In another development yesterday afternoon, the Treasury Department announced the printing of a new $100 bill which will have the iconic Donald Trump signature on it. This goes against tradition, to say the least.

It will be the first time in 165 years that the signature of a sitting U.S. President will be printed on a piece of paper currency in the United States.

Since his signature resembles a toddler’s angry scrawling (my apologies to all toddlers), won’t that be a wondrous thing to behold?

Trump’s views on children and adults with dyslexia

Trump has belittled California Governor Gavin Newsome many times for admitting that he has dyslexia. Newsome compensates having dyslexia by memorizing speeches and speaking extemporaneously.

But Trump sees that as a weakness, and he always attacks a person where he sees a weakness. That’s just the great guy he is.

This week, Trump attacked Gov. Newsome at least twice for having dyslexia and, in so doing, he attacked every child in our country who struggles to compensate for having it.

Trump labels dyslexia as “a learning disability” and the insinuation is that having a learning disability is something to be ashamed of. To be hidden. To never be admitted to having.

Trump using the term “learning disability” and “dyslexia” as a cudgel. It is a label he can proclaim to try to ruin an opponent’s political aspirations.

Every time Trump talks about dyslexia he shows his ignorance.

Or perhaps he says it because he knows that U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was thought to have had dyslexia, but Wilson went on to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

We all know how jealous Trump is of every recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

What the U.S. President Worries About

In case you wonder what the President of the United States worries about, I found out last Saturday.

One would think the U.S. President had pressing things to worry about like how to get out a war he started in Iran, but that was not the case last Friday.

On Friday, March 20, 2026, President Trump signed a two-page Executive Order dictating that no other NCAA football games can be scheduled during the time slot for the Army-Navy game.

Since they don’t have anything else to do, the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S. Department of Commerce are to make sure all colleges, universities, conferences, and broadcasters comply.

In a White House press released titled “Preserving America’s Game,” Trump said, “Such scheduling conflicts weaken the national focus on our Military Service Academies and detract from a morale-building event of vital interest to the Department of War. Accordingly, it is the policy of the United States that no college football game, specifically college football’s CFP or other postseason games, be broadcast in a manner that directly conflicts with the Army-Navy Game.”

Besides being a ludicrous thing for the U.S. President to be thinking about, it is a nice gift to CBS Sports which is under contract to televise the Army-Navy game through 2038.

It looks like CBS is going to be in competition with FoxNews to be the official broadcaster for the Trump Administration. Every authoritarian regime needs one.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Meanwhile, the war continues in Iran and Trump is begging other countries to help get him out of it… even as he declares almost every day that we won the war in the first hour.

On Monday, Trump all but said Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth started the war. Later in the week, Hegseth said, “We negotiate with bombs.”

Trump claims the peace negotiations with Iran are “going well,” while Iran says the US must be negotiating with itself because there are no such talks taking place with Iran.

Trump claims the peace negotiations with Iran are “going fairly well,” while Iran says the US must be negotiating with itself because there are no such talks taking place with Iran.

Sadly, no one on the planet can believe what either side says.

Trump continues the oil embargo against Venezuela, which is bringing Cuba to its knees… so he can take over … you guessed it: Cuba.

Yesterday, Trump announced in relation to the war in Iran that a “Trump day” is not 24 hours. “A Trump day is eternity.”

For those of us living under his regime, it certainly feels like it!

Looking toward the November Mid-Term Elections

If I were a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, I would be more than a little worried about the mid-term elections coming up in November. Even though it appears that all the Republicans in the House want the United States to have a monarchy at the very least, they believe a dictator would serve them better. But that’s not what the American people want.

Deep down in their hearts, I don’t think the MAGA voters really want a dictator. They might think they do but, when push comes to shove, I don’t think they will be happy with the outcome after 34 more months of this firehose form of governance.

The government should be afraid of its citizens, not the other way around.
