For a while last night there was a rumour flying around Washington that General John Kelly, Donald Trump's Chief of Staff, was about to resign.Having finally given up trying to control Trump, after the orange oaf sent a shiver around the world by claiming that it was "the calm before

Montreal Simon: The Fear and the Loathing in Donald Trump’s America
At times it seemed to me like Hunter S. Thompson had come roaring back from the dead, to write one more chapter of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.One where a 64-year-old man holed up in a hotel room with 23 guns opens fire on a crowd below for no
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Donald Trump Preparing to Attack North Korea?
It seemed like a hopeful sign, a step away from the precipice of war on the Korean peninsula. And maybe even a chance to avoid World War Three. Rex Tillerson, the U.S. Secretary of State, announced he had opened up several diplomatic channels between the United States and North Korea. But

Donald Trump likes to compare himself favourably to Abraham Lincoln, the only president he believes who was (slightly) greater than him.And when there's a full moon, he has even been heard to describe himself as the Great Uniter.Which of course is hilarious. MAGA !!! MAGA!!! MA HA HA HA!!!But now at least

Donald Trump has been losing his marbles for a long time, but now it seems the last few are blasting out or rolling out of his rear orifice. And it's a scary sight.He's threatening to bomb the North Koreans, the Iranians, the Venezuelans, and his own party.And now he's taking

I must admit that I've just about had enough of Donald Trump, and I wish I could filter him out of my life.Just the sound of his whiny voice, or the sight of his bloated orange ugliness, is sometimes enough to make me feel like vomiting.So about a week ago I

Ever since General John Kelly took over as Donald Trump's chief of Staff, or Babysitter-in-Chief, he has been able to restrain him better than most.Marred only by the occasional temper tantrum or soiled diaper.But yesterday as we all know, Trump was able to escape Kelly's clutches for a couple of hours.And
Continue readingMontreal Simon: The Day Donald Trump Blew Up His Own Base
In one of my last posts I looked at the budding menage-a-trois between Donald Trump, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer.And how it was making many Republicans really nervous.Well last night Trump invited Chuck and Nancy to have dinner at the White House.And for many Republicans it must have looked like the

Ever since Donald Trump gave Mitch McConnell the cold shoulder and made a deal with Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, Republicans have been in a state of total shock.And to a slightly lesser extent so have the Democrats… But while the Republicans scream betrayal, and wonder what Trump might do next…Read

It's a monster hurricane, roaring out of the Atlantic Ocean and into the Caribbean. Hurricane Irma, one of the most powerful Atlantic storms ever recorded, battered the islands of the northeast Caribbean early Wednesday, leaving severe damage in its wake as it barreled toward the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.A monster

It was a bizarre sight, like a scene out of a really bad disaster movie.Donald Trump back in Texas again, handing out food at a Houston shelter.And complaining that his hands were too big for his plastic gloves. *Shudder* But then he had to go back, for his first visit four
Continue readingMontreal Simon: Is Donald Trump Preparing To Wage War On His Own People?
Now that Donald Trump has revealed his inner fascism, and how far he is prepared to go to flout the rule of law.Now that a poll commissioned by his beloved Fox News suggests that most Americans believe that he is tearing the country apart.It might be a good time to ask WHY?Why

It was supposed to be an opportunity for Donald Trump to check out the damage caused by hurricane Harvey, and offer support to its many victims.But it didn't turn out that way.For it was a disaster from beginning to end.Read more »

Donald Trump's speech in Phoenix the other night was so deeply disturbing it made many all over the world wonder what could be done, if anything, to keep him away from the nuclear codes.So we might have a chance of surviving him.But don't tell that to Trump because he's giving that rally

On Monday, after his speech on Afghanistan, some in the media were praising Donald Trump for looking and sounding "presidential."Which I thought was hilarious because I knew it wouldn't last. And sure enough it didn't.For if he was Dr Jekyll on Monday, last night in Phoenix he was Mr Hyde.Read more »

Although I had better things to observe, like that amazing solar eclipse, I thought I'd better watch Donald Trump's address to the nation, in case he declared war on North Korea.And eclipsed the earth permanently.But as it turned out, all he did was declare a little more war on Afghanistan. Which

It's hard to believe, how time flies. But Donald Trump's "working vacation" is over and he's heading back to Washington.But sadly, although he did little or no work, just played golf, tweeted, and watched a lot of cable TV, his vacation wasn't very relaxing.And I'm afraid we're all going to

Along with the religious fanatics they have always been Donald Trump's most loyal supporters.The ones who call themselves alt-rightists or white nationalists, but I call white supremacists and Neo-Nazis.Since their Gropenfuhrer was elected President they have become even more brazen, and don't even bother to wear masks or white hoods

Ever since Donald Trump went on the war path and started exchanging threats with North Korea, he seems like a new man.And not in a good sense either.For Trump has always seen himself as a Great Warrior Leader, and the idea of distracting Americans from all his scandals and his

This is what every American with an IQ greater than a fruit fly should have seen coming.This is why the grubby clown Donald Trump should never have been elected president.He didn't know what he was doing. He was all hot air. And of course, he had no moral compass. So now
