In terms of the golf stuff - apparently someone's written a book about his cheating at sport. 'Commander in Cheat - how golf explains Trump'.

Looks like some of the banks that handle Trumps multifarious accounts are getting twitchy. I wonder if the BBC probe could uncover more than expected ?

Interested in this thread?

Had to laugh at U.K. tabloids reporting Trump shitting himself in public with that delightful picture from the funeral last week.

Tomorrow is 4th August right? Are we ready for schroedinger’s senator to be declared dead? (I’m playing catch up - apologies if I’ve got the day wrong)

Well once he's missed it the deadline (literally the Dead Line) they might as well hang on for a couple of extra days before declaring an "unexpected relapse". Maybe a bad news day for Trump when he needs a distraction

I think today is Mitch Day but apparently the Governor of Kentucky has suggested he still has options (the Governor, not Mitch).

I think today is Mitch Day but apparently the Governor of Kentucky has suggested he still has options (the Governor, not Mitch).

From what this article states, the law is 'ambiguous'.

"A law passed in 2024 stripped the governor from making special appointments for senators, defaulting the decision to a special election.
Kentucky's constitution gives the governor power to appoint some vacancies or hold a special election depending on timing. That's three months prior to the next general election, which in this case is Aug. 3.
However, that section is ambiguous, and its unclear whether that rule governs Senate vacancies specifically.
The 2024 state law says the deadline is 56 days prior to file candidate nominations for a special election, which in this case is Sept. 8.
So, there is some confusion on how the constitution and newer law interact with each other."

Is Donald fact checking himself? He is doing an "endorsing" day. and I noticed something. I truncated his TRUTHS here for brevity,

Monday, August 3, 2026 10:50 PM Truth Social
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is doing a GREAT job for the Sunshine State, which I won BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

So he won Florida 3 times at 10:50 PM.

Monday, August 3, 2026 10:50 PM Truth Social
Highly Respected Congressman Byron Donalds is running for Governor of Florida, a State that I love, and WON BIG, in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

Posted same time, and 3 wins in there too.

Monday, August 3, 202610:52 PM Truth Social
Senator Ashley Moody is doing a tremendous job representing the incredible people of Florida, a State I love, and WON BIG, in 2016, 2020, and 2024!

Posted 2 mins later at 10:52PM. Still 3 wins

COME ON DON. GIVE YOURSELF A SHAKE HERE. FACTCHECK WHAT YOU ARE POSTING.

Monday, August 3, 2026 10:52 PM Truth Social
Wilton Simpson is the strong and highly popular Agriculture Commissioner for Florida, my "Home" State, which I love and won SIX times, including with 6.1 Million Votes in 2024, the most in History (BY FAR)!

Ah that's better. Still 10:52 PM and now he WON FLORIDA SIX TIMES.

Good fact checking Donald. Never ever post what is true. ALWAYS MAKE IT BIGGER. It's as if he has an inverse fact checker wired in. This fella has been taught to lie from the crib. I can see it now, his old man.... " Never tell the truth son....."

Truer words were never written. Following in the footsteps of his slum landlord father it's no wonder he even went this far.

In recordings, MaryAnne stated that her brother had someone take the college entrance exam in his place and openly described him as ‘cruel’.

Zonder · 04/08/2026 08:01

What a legacy, to have a slum landlord father.
This reminded me that the great Woody Guthrie wrote a couple of songs about Fred Trump - he hated him for his corrupt housing practices and racism, of which he had first hand experience. I just tried to find a recording of them but it seems none exists.

This was in the Independent:
“Donald Trump exploded at coverage of his job performance on Monday morning as his voter ID agenda continues to stall in Congress and the war with Iran pushes his numbers down more and more each day.
The president penned an angry Truth Social rant aimed at media organizations he claimed were pushing fake polls to deride him as an unpopular president.
“My REAL Polling Numbers, not those made up by the Fake News Media, are the best they have ever been, and why wouldn’t they be with the biggest tax cuts and employment numbers EVER,” claimed Trump.
“Don’t believe the Radical Left’s Fake Poll numbers. They are Crooked and Corrupt, just like the Country Destroying Dumocrats are Crooked and Corrupt,” he went on.
The president provided no links, screenshots or data of any kind to back up his assertions. ”

There are many off the record reports that the people around 🍊💩 are increasingly 'managing' him and what he's shown/told.

It will get much more difficult for them (good!) as mid-terms approach - I hope he has many more nights of ranting and raving.
