Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Trump told a crowd in Michigan that the White House has ordered 250 Cadillac Escalades, the flagship sport utility vehicle in the luxury auto brand's lineup, for his presidential motorcade. Trump revealed the purchase in a speech delivered at a General Motors testing facility in the Detroit suburb of Milford. "The one and only Escalade," he said toward the beginning of a roughly one-hour-long address. "You know we ordered, I think, 250 Escalades, right? We ordered 250 Escalades ... . We look sharp in those Escalades."

The 2026 Escalade has a manufacturer's suggested retail price starting in the low $90,000's, though upgrades take it well north of six figures. Its high-performance V-series runs about $170,000.

"Our guys are very spoiled," he said. "They're very spoiled. They like the Escalade. So do I."

I don't ever want to here any --------- cry about deficit spending under a democrat ever again. Donny Fail has never met a taxpayer dollar he didn't love to steal or spend on himself.

"The U.S. federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2026 is projected to reach $2 trillion, significantly higher than the previous year's deficit. This increase is primarily driven by rising spending on interest payments, Social Security, and Medicare, while tax revenues have not kept pace with expenditures."

Guess handing out $4 trillion in tax cuts mostly to millionaires and billionaires was not a good thing.

This is what I voted for.

You can almost feel this maladministration falling apart, its support eroding down to the societal bedrock where fanatics and their manipulators hunker. Here you find the reality-denying fanatics who form the ranks of the MAGA cult's "true believers" ( la Eric Hoffer's The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements) and those who feed their fears and fantasies, providing bromides and farragoes sufficient to keep the rubes in line. I do not believe most of these folks are capable of working their way out of the psychological wilderness into which they've followed Trump. They will react to ongoing discrediting of the regime by the regime in the usual way: by whining and threatening and kicking and injuring and probably even killing - as they already have when their fantasies brush up against reality, e.g. Jan 6. They are not to be reasoned with, and if they had a shred of decency - considering the monumental damage they've inflicted on this nation and the world - they would do the right thing and just f#ck off all on their own.
