Trump Confirmed One Thing After the L.A. Debacle: “There’s No Cure for Stupid”

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Five weeks ago there were protests in downtown Los Angeles. The majority of the marchers were peaceful and voicing their anger at Trump for his illegal and immoral attempt to “ethnically cleanse” America of Hispanics, and anyone else who is not pure white.

Local networks filmed a few less peaceful incidents, including a trash can set on fire, and one overturned vehicle. However, the right-wing propaganda machine, Fox News, did just the opposite. They showed their audience the few situations which were displays of extreme anger, and would be considered vandalism.

This misrepresentation of the situation prompted your idiot in the White House to send the United States military into downtown Los Angeles to end the “massive violence.”

2,000 members of the California National Guard, and 700 active-duty marines were sent to the City of Angels without cause. 2,700 of our nation’s finest accomplished the arrest of one man for disorderly conduct. Today they are doing nothing.

The cost of placing military forces in Los Angeles surpasses 134 million dollars. This ludicrous amount of money comes from the Pentagon’s annual funding. Now for the dumbest fact of all. Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, expects them to remain for another 60 days.

California Governor, Gavin Newsome, did not request assistance from the National Guard, which is the usual process, and expressed his displeasure to members of the press.

“Thousands of members are still federalized in Los Angeles for no reason and unable to carry out their critical duties across the state,” Newsom said on X, accusing Trump of using California National Guard troops as “political pawns.”

In 2015, Trump told his ‘basement dwellers’ that he “loves using other people’s money.”

DOGE was reportedly created, for one purpose: to reduce the deficit by at least two-trillion dollars. When Elon Musk left his post, less than 500 billion dollars was saved; mostly from firing government employees who actually worked in our nation’s capital.

Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” will add an estimated 8-10 trillion dollars to the national debt. Trump’s personal spending, numerous golf trips, and traveling back and forth to and from Mar-a-Lago, among other expenses enjoyed by real billionaires, are costing taxpayers more than 10 million dollars each month.

Trump is afflicted with a disease called malignant narcissism. To protect his fragile ego, he has become a pathological liar, and will say and do anything to protect his need for support from “his people.”

A cursory study of Trump’s pitiful life will reveal a life composed of criminal activity and failure. Today, the orange buffoon is willing to destroy the future of 340 million people to avenge his sullied reputation and soothe his fragile ego.
