Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Tuesday, September 01, 2026

Users on X were outraged by the move as the trees were planted along two sides of the center to symbolize the nation's mourning after the death of former President John F. Kennedy. "The weeping willows at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts have been reduced to stumps," the user on X wrote. "They symbolized the mourning of a nation for President Kennedy following his assassination in 1963," it added. "The administration is claiming the roots were bad, but we know the real reason."

It doesn't require genius to note how deeply and sickly jealous Donald is of JFK.

The Rose Garden, the Performing Arts Center, now these trees.

What goes on in Trump's mind is a stew of garbage that he won't vomit away because that stew is the very center of who he is.

Donald tears things up that people care about. Donald kills people that people care about.

Donald is a cruel man. A psychopath by any common understanding of that word.

I keep imagining how they will be captured.

Trump will obviously be dead on a toilet someplace, but Hegseth will run.. maybe to Israel?

The neocon family compounds in South American nations could be their last notion of "security"? Hegseth in a standoff sounds ridiculous - he'll sacrifice Miller first.

New Zealand has a huge influx of billionaire bunkers.. I'm sure we could locate a few more of the administration secreted away underground.

The trashification of America continues as the climate is destroyed, economies plunge, intelligence purged and people are murdered en mass.

Symbols in commemoration of solice, history and solidarity of "the left" are forbidden.

Imo, the Israeli were at the heart of the JFK assassination, not just 9-11.

Naturally, they have their golum crush our monuments.

The Destruction of those willows epitomizes the casual disregard Trump has for both living things and the symbols of human Grief.

This is the the man who buried the Mother of some of his children under a concrete slab at one of his golf courses like she was an Afterthought.

Donald Trump has never had any Pets.

There's something Profoundly Wrong with Him.

His Ego is God. He see himself as above the Entire World

Strangely, Half the country Including half of Congress and Half the Supreme Court Agree.

Hitler at least loved Animals even if he hated Humanity.

Trump loves only HIMSELF.

If The Afterlife is Real he will Face Justice.

If Not?.....
