You probably recall that during the Trump administration, then-First Lady Melania Trump paid a visit to an internment camp for migrant children on the U.S.-Mexico border, and as she was boarding the flight to take her to Texas, she wore a raincoat which had a message on the back of it that read:
“I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?”
That brings us to today when President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden met with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife, Carrie. Mrs. Biden had on a jacket, and the message was a major departure from the one Melania had sent to the world:
We’ve all known for some time that failed, one-term former President Donald Trump isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, but something he said Monday morning during a phone interview with Fox Business host Stuart Varney may well go down on the Annals of Trump as one of the most absurd things ever uttered by a human being in the 21st Century.
Varney asked Trump how he thought the United States could best respond to cyberattacks such as the ones recently perpetuated by Russian hackers against the Colonial Pipeline and JBS Foods. The ex-president replied:
“The way you stop it is you go back to a much more old-fashioned form of accounting and things. You know, I have a son who is so good with computers. He’s a young person and he can make these things sing and when you put everything on internet and on all of these machines — you never see a piece of paper — I really think that you have to go back to a different form of accounting, a different form of compiling information.”
Trump then complained that “young people… can’t walk without computers,” adding:
“As a young person, my 15-year-old son is, you know, he’s just a genius with this stuff. And you have people that are going to break into systems. I think you have to go back and you have to be much more reliant, there has to be much better security.”
Seconds later, however, Trump proved that he knows diddly about anything related to cybersecurity, telling Varney:
“I don’t know how the hell they get paid, by the way, Stuart. You’re going to have to explain that to me.”
Yeah, good luck with that! Varney and a team of computer experts could “explain” the process to Donald for hours and he still wouldn’t have a clue.
Varney told Trump:
“They get paid through Bitcoin.”
That led Trump down another mental rabbit hole as he blathered:
“That’s another beauty. The currency of this world should be the dollar. And I don’t think we should have all of the Bitcoins of the world out there. I think they should regulate them very, very high.”
Though it may be hard to believe, it’s quite obvious that Donald Trump has gotten significantly dumber since he left office. At this rate, by the end of the summer, he’ll be drooling on himself and demanding that someone bring him an abacus so he can attempt to count his fingers.
If you didn’t catch any of failed, one-term former President Donald Trump’s bizarre and often incomprehensible speech to Republicans in North Carolina on Saturday evening, you didn’t actually miss anything other than him claiming for the ten-millionth time that the 2020 election had been stolen and his suggestion that he may run for office again in 2022 or 2024.
However, there was one odd moment after Trump had finished his remarks (which went on for 90 freaking minutes!): He stepped away from the podium and it suddenly became clear that there was something terribly wrong with the front of his pants. Take a look:

Wait a damn minute! Don’t pants have a zipper on the front of them? So where’s the zipper? Is Donnie wearing pull-ups? Or did he actually put his pants on backwards?
So many damn questions! Which is why we have Twitter to help us figure things out. Let the trolling begin:
Did Trump not have a single staffer with the guts to tell him that he put his pants on backwards last night? pic.twitter.com/92LPkg6lWz
Uhhh, Jon- hate to tell you. Those are likely pull up pants to cover his Depends, which are wrapped in an industrial strength girdle. And, the only reason you put those on anyone, is for quick and easy diaper changes. And, this is the leader of the GOP.
We asked Donald Trump what the main focus of his NC speech would be. He said, "Depends. But definitely something backward." #Trumppantspic.twitter.com/TJOjwXQ8GP

Random Thoughts from a Hospital Bed: (No Judgment Edition):
A FORMER president giving a speech about the country moving in the wrong direction while wearing his pants on backwards is just about all my astonishment can take. #TrumpSpeech#Trumppants#pants#PantsOnBackwards
Anyone laying odds on how long before every Republican begins wearing his or her pants backwards to curry favor with Trump supporters? And who will be the first? Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, or Josh Hawley?
Failed, one-term former President Donald Trump has always hated CNN and Jim Acosta, who was White House correspondent for the network during the Trump administration. That’s probably because Acosta wasn’t afraid to ask tough questions and CNN didn’t bow down to King Donald the way Fox News did during his four years in office.
Things got so contentious between Trump and Acosta at one point that the former president banned him from the White House altogether, as CNBC reported at the time:
“The White House has suspended the press pass of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta after he and President Donald Trump had a heated confrontation during a news conference.
“They began sparring Wednesday after Acosta asked Trump about the caravan of migrants heading from Latin America to the southern U.S. border. When Acosta tried to follow up with another question, Trump said, ‘That’s enough!’ and a female White House aide unsuccessfully tried to grab the microphone from Acosta.”
Now, however, Acosta has the upper hand, and he used it to verbally slap down Trump for his pathetic attempt at a comeback, with the former president speaking at a Republican meeting in Greeneville, North Carolina on Saturday evening.
Acosta was hosting a news program on CNN prior to Trump’s speech when he perfectly nailed exactly what was taking place including comments Trump made this week that he’d be installed as president as soon as this August. To that, Acosta remarked:
“If Trump really believes he will be back in the White House this August, he should get help. You are not well, sir.”
Acosta: If Trump really believes he will be back in the WH this August, he should get help. You are not well sir… Same goes for the GOP. It’s as if much of the Republican Party is trapped in a Jimmy Buffett tune… pic.twitter.com/5DxZnALpqF
But that was far from all Acosta had to say, adding:
“Trump’s life is like a country music song. He’s lost the House, he’s lost the Senate, he’s lost the White House, website. If he had a dog, the dog would leave him too.”
Perhaps you thought Fox News couldn’t possibly get any lower or more disgusting, If so, then you might be interested to know that Fox host Greg Gutfeld is actually saying he hopes Russian President Vladimir Putin kills President Joe Biden when they meet for a summit on June 16 in Geneva.
During a discussion of recent cyber attacks by Russian entities on the United States according to Crooks and Liars, most of the co-hosts said Biden should refuse to meet with Putin, even though they had no problem with failed, one-term former President Donald Trump doing so and kissing Putin’s butt every chance he got.
Co-host Dagen McDowell was adamant, insisting that meeting with Russia was a gift that Biden should refuse to grant Putin.
That’s when Gutfeld spoke up, proudly declaring:
“I gotta disagree, if he holds firm you know, there’s going to be something we can get out of this. There’s going to be something. If Putin decides to have them killed. That’s something. You know? It’s possible.”
The director of the show immediately cut to a commercial, but Gutfeld never said he was kidding or clarified what he had wished for. And worst of all, he still hasn’t been taken off the air and fired!
If nothing else, Gutfeld should get a visit from the Secret Service and have the shit scared out of him.
UPDATE: Jessica Ketner of the Fox News media relations department insists Gutfeld wasn’t referring to Putin killing Biden:
“Greg does not suggest Putin may kill President Biden. Greg said Putin could have the hackers killed.”
