The Trumpless Kennedy Center

The Trumpanzee species must be heart broken. Their master's name has been removed from the Kennedy Center.

It is up to future generations to decide which people are given tributes to people in the past like being included on buildings, bank notes etc.

The only place future generations will put this bungling buffoon's name is on sheets of toilet paper.

Most fair observers would find some accomplishments. So I asked Chat which produced this rather impressive list:

Widely acknowledged constructive actions

1. Operation Warp Speed

1. Accelerated COVID vaccine development and production.
2. Likely saved many lives globally by shortening the timeline for vaccine availability.

2. First Step Act

1. Bipartisan criminal justice reform.
2. Reduced some sentencing disparities and expanded rehabilitation programs.

3. Abraham Accords

1. Normalized relations between Israel and several Arab states.
2. One of the most significant Middle East diplomatic breakthroughs in decades.

4. Pressure on NATO allies to increase defense spending

1. Europe's defense spending rose substantially during and after Trump's first term.
2. The argument that Europe was underinvesting in defense has become mainstream.

5. Strategic focus on China and supply-chain resilience

1. Drew attention to U.S. dependence on China.
2. Helped build political support for later semiconductor and industrial-policy initiatives.

6. Creation of Space Force

1. Initially controversial.
2. Now broadly accepted as a useful organizational change for military space operations.

Constructive actions with substantial debate

7. Iran nuclear-site strikes (2025)

1. Supporters argue the strikes materially delayed Iran's nuclear weapons capability.
2. Critics argue the damage may be temporary and could strengthen Iranian determination.
3. Nonetheless, if the objective was delaying a nuclear breakout, there is a reasonable case that the strikes achieved something significant.

8. Role in reducing India-Pakistan tensions (2025)

1. Trump administration officials were involved diplomatically during a dangerous escalation.
2. Pakistan has credited U.S. involvement.
3. India disputes that outside mediation was decisive.
4. Fair assessment: potentially constructive, but attribution remains contested.

9. Venezuela / Maduro removal (2026)

1. Supporters view it as the removal of an authoritarian ruler linked to narcotics trafficking and political repression.
2. Critics view it as an extraordinary use of U.S. power and question the precedent.
3. Whether it ultimately benefits Venezuela depends heavily on what follows.

10. Deregulation initiatives

1. Supporters argue they reduced business costs and increased investment.
2. Critics argue some environmental and consumer protections were weakened.

11. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

1. Improved U.S. corporate tax competitiveness.
2. Encouraged investment according to supporters.
3. Increased deficits according to critics.

Areas where the jury is still out

12. Tariffs and industrial policy

1. Critics emphasize higher consumer costs and trade distortions.
2. Supporters argue they accelerated reshoring and reduced strategic dependence on China.

13. Immigration enforcement

1. Supporters argue stronger border enforcement improves security and labor-market outcomes.
2. Critics focus on humanitarian concerns and implementation issues.

Overall

If I were trying to identify the actions most likely to receive some acknowledgment from people across the political spectrum, my top tier would be:

1. Operation Warp Speed
2. First Step Act
3. Abraham Accords
4. NATO burden-sharing pressure
5. Strategic focus on China and supply chains
6. Space Force

If I were evaluating from a national-security perspective, I would probably add:

1. Iran nuclear-site strikes
2. Pressure that contributed to greater European defense spending
3. Semiconductor and industrial-security focus
4. Diplomatic involvement during the India-Pakistan crisis

The common thread is that these actions addressed long-term strategic problems—pandemics, defense burden-sharing, China's rise, Middle Eastern normalization, nuclear proliferation, and critical manufacturing capacity—even when reasonable people disagree about the methods used.

My initial thought was to give you a one-way ticket to The Hague as a birthday gift, but that comment would probably go above your head. I will instead give you a can of alphabet soup; the sentences you poop out will be more coherent than anything you have ever said. Now you can finally take part in meaningful public discourse.

Gosh, that’s an impressive résumé. The GOP has nothing to worry about, they’ll sweep the House and Senate with an overwhelming majority in the mid terms.

Midterm elections are routinely bad for the Governing party. It happened in 2014, 2018 and 2022 elections.

However it will not happen .in 2028 as the 2020 election was not routine and the Voters know they made a huge mistake in 2020 to vote into power a crooked President when 25 million mail-in ballots without identification were counted. .

Example - in 2020 the majority of the Democrats in the House dropped from 32 to 9. Another proof that the Presidential election was rigged,

Climate activist Greta Thunberg does not have a mental deficiency, but rather a set of neurodivergent conditions. She has been open about her diagnoses of Asperger’s syndrome (a form of autism), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and selective mutism.

She is an idiot used by people to promote feftist ideology and get speeches which she parotted in return for generous payments to her parents and her,

Can someone explain to DumbMike that Trump now has the lowest approval ratings of any US president ever/? (E.g., The Independent approval rating is about 10%)

Even Fox News confirms this approval rating.

That is saying a lot, given Biden's corpse - as bad as it was- actually did better than this.
