Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, August 19, 2026

President Donald Trump bragged on Wednesday, "I'm very good at flagpoles!" during what CNN described as an "impromptu tour of his various White House construction projects." CNN's Kasie Hunt reported on the moment during Wednesday's edition of The Arena, explaining, "The president's schedule initially said he was participating in a policy meeting during that time. Instead, he spent 32 minutes ... explaining in painstaking detail the changes that he's bringing to the People's House." While the CNN segment is a supercut of the event, the full clip shows Trump citing a 2025 donation of his, which he described on Truth Social at the time as "two beautiful Flag Poles on both sides of the White House."

... "I'm very good at flagpoles!" ...

Maybe, but significantly more important ...

He also seems to be very good at vandalism.

To wit:

The White House East Wing destruction.

The global economy has fallen apart, the US is in the hock for over a trillion dollars, Americans are selling their own blood to make ends meet, US sailors have jumped overboard in despair, NATO forces have surrounded Kalinigrad, Trumpf Diarrhea Syndrome (TDS) and measles are spreading across Amerikkka, the USIC was unaware of a Russian missile test in the Antarctic, the SPR is being drained, strategic ammunition stores have been depleted, Iran is going to turn the heat up on US forces in the Middle East, and the Senile Satan boasts "he's very good at flagpoles."

The voter who put this destructive, draft-dodging pedophilic Russian asset into the White House on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024.

Crazy on top of stupid wrapped in arrogant and squeezed into a fetid tub of orange sludge is not a good look.

*** Senile Satan's Wretched Concubine Has No Security Clearance ***

"Dummkopf Trumpf's closest aide, Natalie Harpy, declined multiple times over more than a year to seek a routine security clearance normally obtained by West Wing staffers to work at the White House.

Harpy's reasoning for declining to complete the process was unknown."

This is a lick on the USSS. All personnel that have routine physical access to POTUS must be strictly vetted. They are then given a "Yankee White" SAP clearance.

*** Natalie Harpy Obssessed with Dummkopf Trumpf: USSS Alarmed ***

And Dummkopf Trumpf's fixation on handsome young men like NYG QB Jaxson Dart or NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) have alarmed West Wing staffers.

Pure putrid Peyton Place.
