Who do you think is the audience for this video put out by Iran? Wondering who will see it, and whether they will have access to any other information about what is going on, than what Iran chooses to tell.
Heather Cox Richardson also started off the day saying, "The biggest story in the country, today and always, is that the president of the United States is mentally unwell."
For so many years, he’s been given a pass using the sentence: “That’s just Trump being Trump.” I wonder if any of his Congressional boot lickers will say that about Trump’s inadvertent revelation regarding the American people? My money is on most of them + the boot licking media
Trump being Trump is so sickening. We have to now be so careful where we get information. So much is BS except for Jeff, Robert Reich and Heather Cox Richardson and Stephen Colbert. The only place to get reliable truth. Some with spice and some with historic fact. There is no media that isn't owned by one of those disgusting people who lick the orange anus. So I'm all for independent sources. No money infused bullshit filled with "alternative truths" I mean, what the fuck is that?
We had a similar crisis of undependable media back in the late 1800s. The big newspapers were similarly owned by the oligarchy of the day, and those chief editors didn't criticize their owners. Thus the rise of "yellow journalism." Small independent papers printed on, wait for it, cheap yellow paper. The big papers circulation dropped to next to nothing. The oligarchs liked making money from the papers, so they did two things. Their manipulations of the economy went underground, and fired the sycophantic head editors.
Two belated thoughts, Jeff, about this post. 1. Why do the male journos never come to the defense of the woman journo being maligned by Trump? and yet 2. I want a female journo to win your "What the Fuck Is Wrong With You?" prize. Women have and will continue to stand up to him, and I want a professional female journo to lead the way in her field, too. When pigs fly out of his butt, perhaps...
“Trump also has two Chinese names. The Chinese government and state media call him telangpu but he is also often referred to as chuanpu, a slightly different transliteration.” Well, they both rightly end in “poo.”
Lets see if the information in The Guardian which has Rubio telling Taiwan last year, "Trump administration would not negotiate over the self-governing democracy’s future to secure a trade deal with China." If that is true, then why are all those business people going along with Trump if not to make a deal. Let us hope Trump does not throw Taiwan and Ukraine under the bus. We know he is going to throw the US under the bus like he always does.
"Trump also has two Chinese names. The Chinese government and state media call him telangpu but he is also often referred to as chuanpu, a slightly different transliteration"
Anyone speak Mandarin? I'm sure one translates to fuckwit and the otherone is twatwaffle!
For once in his life, Marco Rubio, Mr. Big Shoes To Fill, did something right, criticizing China's Uyghur genocide. Xi Jinping banned him from visiting!
Now, Marco Rubio , transliterated differently into Chinese, is welcome as long as he is assisting Trump & Xi in doing evil.
I'm confused, why was Marco Rubio banned from China? I mean, a good move on their part for any of these evil clowns, but how odd about him specifically 🤔
The thing is--Tapper could be a good journalist. However, the move he pulled on Biden, plus the move he apparently is not going to make on Donnie Demento, makes one simply go ??????????
If Biden was actually and significantly impaired during his presidency, and it was known that his staff was covering up for him, the time to inform everyone was DURING the presidency. Or, wait until after the election was over and done with and then publish the book. The timing is what calls into question Tapper's motive.
Perhaps he is currently hard at work writing the blockbuster that will explode the Demento administration--I hope so, and I hope he and his publisher plan to release it within the next year. However, I sincerely doubt it's underway. Biden was a soft target--easy pickings because there would be no calls for firings and filings of lawsuits and threats of treason charges. That there would be in the case of a tell-all Demento publications is the likely reason for the radio silence about a seriously cognitively impaired president and his covering lackeys.
Actually, Uncle Jeff, telling us he doesn’t care about our financial situation was the SECOND time he ever told the truth. The first time was when he said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose any voters.
Jeff, first I must say that pic of you and your wife is a great reflection of that time period especially the Bobby Weir shorts that both of you are rocking, yah mon😄. To the the point of “ I really don’t think of Americans financial situation” I guess so, just some examples, his Trump phone grift, deposit but no return on an item that was promised months ago, enriching his boys by multi millions. Inflation going up up faster than a somewhat speeding bullet, and absolutely no concern for all of us and especially the MAGAs morons. Every promise during his campaign has been broken, except for his racism, entitlement and arrogance. On a better note I was in the Boston area for a family celebration, everyone I met during my stay shares my distain for Donald…… best part? My grand niece at 13 years old organized 5 no ICE no kings protests demonstrations in her small town.. with kids like that well I’m just so very proud. Best to all Fellow Travelers.
A good reminder that the pedo criminal elect thinks of golf. Naps. Distracting us from the Epstein/Trump/Maxwell files. Where he can use taxpayer money to build the next monument to himself. Destroying civilizations. Nuking hurricanes. His next grift. And using the DOJ to pursue anyone who publicly and correctly calls him a criminally corrupt pedo-felon.
The struggle of an American working paycheck to paycheck? It doesn’t enter his narcissistic tiny sundowning mind.
I am sure it never did, but like any good grifter, he'd never say out loud....until now. He obvious thinks he's untouchable (yuck, he is!) And he can do anything he wants.
We know most of the cowards who won’t stop him and those who continue to enable him. And we are remembering in case of a future AG and DOJ that will pursue all of them.
I hate to say this but good on Iran for making truthful vids like this. Americans need to understand the true cost of this war, Republicans need to show some integrity, Democrats need to step out of their comfort zone and take heed. USA looks like a big loser right now. We are the weakest link 😢
When they infuse him with the anti-amyloid plaque drugs they probably give him anticoagulants, which enhances the hand bruises and renders him less susceptible to blood clots. They probably also give him diuretics to address his cankle swelling, which is still very prominent. Might be in heart failure.
2,234 days of NOT HEARING “What the Fuck is Wrong With You”…is TOTALLY INEXCUSABLE!! And… on a more positive note-You and Claudia look gorgeous and relaxed! Keep the memories going Jeff…❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So this book that just won the Pulitzer for best fiction is called Angel Down. It's something like 278 pages and it's entirely one sentence. (I bought it immediately but was pleased as all hell when the 15 yo commandeered it. She has a weird thing for WWI.)
I think you could write a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Jeff, called. "WTF is Wrong with You?" and then have it be entirely one sentence of
Thanks for the book plug. Just bought it on Kindle. It’s a combo war and fantasy novel. I love both genres. It’s going to be an interesting read…there are only commas. They offered me the book on Audible. Can you imagine trying to read this aloud?
Considering how Trump rambles endlessly from one incoherent topic to another, this format would be perfect.
I don’t mean to be contrarian here, but writing a novel that is 278 pages and one sentence smacks of a gimmick that makes me not want to read it. Just write a great book and leave the bullshit grammatical gimmicks aside.The fact that it is one sentence shows the author just needs to meet Benjamin Dreyer.
It’s not just a gimmick tho. It’s set in WWI, in No Man’s Land and it invokes the relentless, unending, kinetics of battle where you barely get a minute to breathe. Read the sample. His writing is of a caliber where he could have easily chosen NOT to write one sentence but did. It’s deliberate.
I keep waiting for a female journalist to What the fuck is wrong with you??? and then turn on the so called male reporters and say WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU??????
Thank you so much for sharing your Daily Claudia. You are sharing your beautiful lady and allowing us peeks into you daily lives. I came to your page after you lost a piece of yourself. I have been there and remember the year of firsts as I call it. Heal the best way that works for you but thank you thank you thank you for your column and sharing your family that helped make you who you are today.
A friend of mine actually DID meet -and give a ride to- John Lennon. He was driving in New York at some event or another and Lennon leaned into the passenger window and asked for a ride.
Eric said "sure, hop in." And so off they went. Small world.
Um...Trump actually thinks he can pressure China on ANYTHING? Did he miss the part about how he and Republicans are rapidly turning the 21st century into "China's Century?"
Well, he is there with Eric and a bunch of "business executives" he invited - Musk, Cook, and execs from Visa, Blackrock, Boeing, Meta. Can't wait to see what fresh hell they all manage to strong-arm out of Xi.
No, not by a long shot, but the situation in Iran isn't benefitting China, either. And no one wants them to overtake Taiwan while the U.S. is f'ing up the rest of the world's economies. Who knows what kind of deal trump has in mind to benefit himself? Rubio and Miller are there too, so all is suspect. (And the rare earth minerals are imperative)
True Dat. Trump throwing out his loaded diapers before landing could get hung up on the rudder and bring down the plane. AI work your magic around that scene.
It's one thing when Jeff calls out Fuckwit's dementia. He grinds that axe daily. Heather Cox Richardson also says the media should treat Trump's obvious decline like the major story that it is. What I'm saying is we're not the crazy ones.
The worst aspect of all this is the continued silence of press colleagues present when he squirts out such venomous shite. As you’ve noted. Pulitzer await.
I would never be able to stand there and take abuse from that literal pus-bag. These women have my admiration because I would not be able to restrain myself from sharing a few choice words with the Worst Human Ever.
NOBODY should "restrain" themselves from answering back to #Bumblefuck.
ESPECIALLY the FEMALE JOURNALISTS who feel like they have to stay quiet. Fair is fair - w/ his history of treating women like shit, THIS is LONG OVERDUE! Time for female journalists to DOG PILE that rat-fucker, over every such remark he's EVER MADE.
Here's a copy of my comment, and a reply from Tom Jones, with The Poynter Institute:

This is the first time I've been moved to respond to your opinion column, but I disagree strongly.

It is unacceptable on every level, and he should be told so to his face, immediately and without reservation, by every witness present. That's my opinion.
Jeff Tiedrich fans would love to hear all those present respond in unison, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"
* * *
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I get where you're coming from. However ...
The important part is for the media to not turn the story back on themselves. Often, that's what Trump wants. Instead of the story of the day being about Venezuela or the Epstein files or the economy, it suddenly becomes about a fight between him and CNN or ABC or whatever. Trump would rather THAT be the story than us concentrating on critical issues. So, yeah, the media should document his insults. But they shouldn't distract the public from THE REAL stories of the day.
It’s a human problem. The fatfuck is a human behaving terribly. I’d place that at the core. I’d start with that. It’s not a policy issue. It’s a human issue.
Its that the news outlets are all owned by oligharchs who will fire any writer for telling the truth. Even if a journalist wanted to ask that question they know they'd be fired and ridiculed.

This can also be posed to the MAGAts randomly encountered.

"JUST IN: China changes Marco Rubio's Chinese name to allow him to bypass sanctions & enter the country, as he was banned under his previous name."
holy fuck, it IS true.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/13/marco-rubio-china-visit-new-character-name-trump-summit
"Linguistic workaround allows Marco Rubio, sanctioned by Beijing, to travel to China for the first time"
LOL WUT
How is this real life?!!
Is he now going to collect pseudonyms and aliases like "George" "Santos?"
Does each identity now get to rattle around in its own pair of ill-fitting Florsheims?
Or "JD Vance"
Or “Visited a Pope and didn’t kill him”
Or "Hung Cao?" (Yes, I know that's Korean, not Chinese.)
This is the alternative reality life. Oh lord, please take me back to good old reality!
Huh. I'll check Google Translate for "Spineless sellout in oversized shoes" to get Marco's Mandarin name
Micro Rubio
🎯‼️
L to the O to the L!!!
Now, that is good.
🤣
And trump has 2 Chinese names….hmmmmmm……I bet we could share a lot more names for “Preznit Fuckwit!”
He thought fucking was a city in China.
… and that the Mexican Border pays rent 🤦♂️
Tipping, too.
I think one translates as "stinking diaper man" and the other is "loaded diaper man" but I'm not skilled in the Chinese language.
Literal LOL!
“Trump also has two Chinese names. The Chinese government and state media call him telangpu but he is also often referred to as chuanpu, a slightly different transliteration.” Well, they both rightly end in “poo.”
I noticed that also.

https://www.impeachtrumpagain.org/
One more thing -- you missed Trump talking about annexing Venezuela as the 51st state. Yes that actually happened.
As Puerto Rico looks on incredulously.
In reality, the Chinese name for Rubio now translates to “Traitorous Little Marco.”
I just read the Guardian article.
"Trump also has two Chinese names. The Chinese government and state media call him telangpu but he is also often referred to as chuanpu, a slightly different transliteration"
Anyone speak Mandarin? I'm sure one translates to fuckwit and the otherone is twatwaffle!
Ahem, I start slowly, does that mean his name is Marco Lubio?
And instead of Sec State....
Nah. I ain't going there without protection.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would have thought CHINA would have some balls. I mean CHINA? But I can think of a few names for little marco if China needs some help.
Marco ... Polio
I kinda like Marco Bungholio.
For once in his life, Marco Rubio, Mr. Big Shoes To Fill, did something right, criticizing China's Uyghur genocide. Xi Jinping banned him from visiting!
Now, Marco Rubio , transliterated differently into Chinese, is welcome as long as he is assisting Trump & Xi in doing evil.
So under the new Chinese spelling he's Marco Lubio? Perfection.
The lube-ster.
I'm confused, why was Marco Rubio banned from China? I mean, a good move on their part for any of these evil clowns, but how odd about him specifically 🤔
"his next book would have come flying out of his ass, right then and there."
Jeff, man, you just flattened me with that sentence...
100%
I guffawed. And......deadly in the accuracy of this truth about Tapper.
Since Jake the Fake got mentioned today, I'll repost this from yesterday:
Where are you now, Tapper
Your last book belongs in the crapper
What's your word on Don Snoozer
The serial abuser
And Oval Office's most accomplished napper?
The thing is--Tapper could be a good journalist. However, the move he pulled on Biden, plus the move he apparently is not going to make on Donnie Demento, makes one simply go ??????????
If Biden was actually and significantly impaired during his presidency, and it was known that his staff was covering up for him, the time to inform everyone was DURING the presidency. Or, wait until after the election was over and done with and then publish the book. The timing is what calls into question Tapper's motive.
Perhaps he is currently hard at work writing the blockbuster that will explode the Demento administration--I hope so, and I hope he and his publisher plan to release it within the next year. However, I sincerely doubt it's underway. Biden was a soft target--easy pickings because there would be no calls for firings and filings of lawsuits and threats of treason charges. That there would be in the case of a tell-all Demento publications is the likely reason for the radio silence about a seriously cognitively impaired president and his covering lackeys.
Makes me wonder why Tapper keeps getting invited onto Colbert’s show. Stephen knows better.
He can't be considered a serious journalist until he writes a book about Trump's "cognitive decline."
Even then, naw!
Couldn’t stop laughing at that one! 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for making my morning, as you always do, Jeff!
Also enjoyed seeing “Potty McKettleblack” again! 😂
I spit my morning coffee, which is a sin, taking into account the cost of coffee (and everything else!).
Totally!
Yes, that should be somehow enshrined. 🤣😂🤣😂
Actually, Uncle Jeff, telling us he doesn’t care about our financial situation was the SECOND time he ever told the truth. The first time was when he said he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose any voters.
Also, I fucking love today’s Daily Claudia!

Me too!
Jeff, first I must say that pic of you and your wife is a great reflection of that time period especially the Bobby Weir shorts that both of you are rocking, yah mon😄. To the the point of “ I really don’t think of Americans financial situation” I guess so, just some examples, his Trump phone grift, deposit but no return on an item that was promised months ago, enriching his boys by multi millions. Inflation going up up faster than a somewhat speeding bullet, and absolutely no concern for all of us and especially the MAGAs morons. Every promise during his campaign has been broken, except for his racism, entitlement and arrogance. On a better note I was in the Boston area for a family celebration, everyone I met during my stay shares my distain for Donald…… best part? My grand niece at 13 years old organized 5 no ICE no kings protests demonstrations in her small town.. with kids like that well I’m just so very proud. Best to all Fellow Travelers.
Excellent of your grand niece! The Force Awakens!
Very proud of her and her school mates…
Bobby and his short shorts! Like Claudia, gone far too soon…💔
I'm so thankful for all the talented and articulate members of this forum. Because sometimes all I can say is, "I can't even . . . " WTAF?????
Love the photo of you two, Jeff.
Many thanks. 😊
I love the photo too! More like a couple of hotties (not weirdos).
Thank you Jeff.
A good reminder that the pedo criminal elect thinks of golf. Naps. Distracting us from the Epstein/Trump/Maxwell files. Where he can use taxpayer money to build the next monument to himself.

This is the Iranian Lego video to highlight that statement without directly referring to it.
https://youtu.be/rcWLHVclblE?si=07yoy0OvtyK2icjw
Thanks Linda -- I am dazzled by these Iranian Lego videos and eternally grateful that they seem to understand that the American people are not T💩p.
Possibly peeling off some wavering MAGA who are starting to look for a reason to jump off the trump bandwagon.
I hate to say this but good on Iran for making truthful vids like this. Americans need to understand the true cost of this war, Republicans need to show some integrity, Democrats need to step out of their comfort zone and take heed. USA looks like a big loser right now. We are the weakest link 😢
I’m hoping this trip to China does him in with “The Little Blood Clot That Could.”
Someone--a true patriot--please hide his compression socks.
he told the WSJ that he doesn't like them & won't wear them.
if true, keep on ignoring medical advice.
A real patriot would crash the plane into Marryalog.
Someone please hide his blood pressure meds and diuretics.
Pfffft!! :D
A long time at high altitudes in a pressurized cabin could solve many of our top-down abject stupidity problems.
When they infuse him with the anti-amyloid plaque drugs they probably give him anticoagulants, which enhances the hand bruises and renders him less susceptible to blood clots. They probably also give him diuretics to address his cankle swelling, which is still very prominent. Might be in heart failure.
Lord, hear our prayer.
I'll take whatever I can get. I'm not fussy.
🤣
come on left main !
He has a heart?
Unalive him
I've been saying that for months. I've also wondered if he takes Cialis to make his dick hard that Jeff says he hasn't seen in years.
1- I can't think of anyone who'd WANT to see that shit!
2- He's need an ELECTRON MICROSCOPE to even FIND it.
In so many ways .... he's taking members of his ugly clan with him, including Lara Trump and Eric.
I hope Lara doesn't sing for China. That could trigger WWIII
And Elon, so we all know who’s doing the talking.
And we all know who will be doing the dozing!
I'm totally on Team Aneurysm.

Easily a 1000 pages. Easily.
wait, it's ONE SENTENCE? ok, I have to read this book
Yes! I read the first few pages and it is clearly a work of art.
Interesting. When I first heard of this book I actually thought there's no way I could read a book that's one long sentence.
Shouldn't take long. 🤷🏻♀️
As long as it's not "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"

I thought John Lennon, too!!!
Imagine that

Eric said "sure, hop in." And so off they went. Small world.
Love this!
Um...Trump actually thinks he can pressure China on ANYTHING? Did he miss the part about how he and Republicans are rapidly turning the 21st century into "China's Century?"
As he rambles dementedly
He'll get played by President Xi
And sell America out
For more insider clout
To enrich his crime family
👏👏👏
Well, he is there with Eric and a bunch of "business executives" he invited - Musk, Cook, and execs from Visa, Blackrock, Boeing, Meta. Can't wait to see what fresh hell they all manage to strong-arm out of Xi.
ZIP. Xi is not stupid.
No, not by a long shot, but the situation in Iran isn't benefitting China, either. And no one wants them to overtake Taiwan while the U.S. is f'ing up the rest of the world's economies. Who knows what kind of deal trump has in mind to benefit himself? Rubio and Miller are there too, so all is suspect. (And the rare earth minerals are imperative)
Good point but I sense that China no longer needs/depends on these corporations, their investments, or their U.S. markets.
Letting him play his game (for now) while stroking his fragile ego with excessive pageantry. The whole world knows how to manipulate him.
More likely, they dont need Trump who is probably only there to get his cut.
One plane crash would have solved so many problems.
I'm all for a barrage of multiple MANPADS upon landing, overwhelm countermeasures.
"Manpads" in a Trumpy context suggests something else.
True Dat. Trump throwing out his loaded diapers before landing could get hung up on the rudder and bring down the plane. AI work your magic around that scene.
"execs from Visa, Blackrock, Boeing, Meta."
In other words, the REAL cabinet.

And you can kiss my behind,"
Says the fat fuck, the big FUCKIN' DUMMY!
As Ralph Kramden said:
YOU’RE A BLABBERMOUTH!!!!
👏👏👏👏 Frosty!!
The worst aspect of all this is the continued silence of press colleagues present when he squirts out such venomous shite. As you’ve noted. Pulitzer await.
We should award female journos for being called dumb or terrible, which is a clear indication that their questions had bothered him.
I would never be able to stand there and take abuse from that literal pus-bag. These women have my admiration because I would not be able to restrain myself from sharing a few choice words with the Worst Human Ever.
NOBODY should "restrain" themselves from answering back to #Bumblefuck.
ESPECIALLY the FEMALE JOURNALISTS who feel like they have to stay quiet. Fair is fair - w/ his history of treating women like shit, THIS is LONG OVERDUE! Time for female journalists to DOG PILE that rat-fucker, over every such remark he's EVER MADE.
"You're a dumb .... person" was a last-minute save from "You're a dumb bitch."
Probably not. He's said that before. It's just a normal effect of frontotemporal dementia. He couldn't remember any word at all.
I wonder if their editors reprimand them or if Trump's surrogates tell the reporter he or she no longer can attend Trump's news conferences.
Here's a copy of my comment, and a reply from Tom Jones, with The Poynter Institute:

This is the first time I've been moved to respond to your opinion column, but I disagree strongly. Silence in the face of Trump's dehumanizing, disgraceful, disparaging remarks to female reporters feels like one is condoning his ugly, childish and reprehensible behavior. It is unacceptable on every level, and he should be told so to his face, immediately and without reservation, by every witness present. That's my opinion.
Jeff Tiedrich fans would love to hear all those present respond in unison, "What the fuck is wrong with you?"

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I get where you're coming from. However ...
The important part is for the media to not turn the story back on themselves. Often, that's what Trump wants. Instead of the story of the day being about Venezuela or the Epstein files or the economy, it suddenly becomes about a fight between him and CNN or ABC or whatever. Trump would rather THAT be the story than us concentrating on critical issues. So, yeah, the media should document his insults. But they shouldn't distract the public from THE REAL stories of the day.
It’s a human problem. The fatfuck is a human behaving terribly. I’d place that at the core. I’d start with that. It’s not a policy issue. It’s a human issue.
Actually, nobody should 'cover' his bullshit. No reporters or cameras or anybody, nothing.
Press conferences to an empty room with no media at all. From the helicopter to the Bordello with no one in attendance but the crew of the aircraft.
Stand out in the bordello driveway by yourself, fucko.
un-fuck'em.
Its that the news outlets are all owned by oligharchs who will fire any writer for telling the truth. Even if a journalist wanted to ask that question they know they'd be fired and ridiculed.
POSOTUS’S ardent supporters also don’t think about anybody.
Because the Republican "platform" can be summarized in one word: sadism.
I'd make it two words... "Gleeful Sadism"
Motto of Republican party, "I got mine, fuck you."
