President Trump revealed Wednesday morning that he’ll be hosting the Kennedy Center Honors himself this year, before immediately complaining that he’s not an honoree. – via thewrap.com

I’m sure you’re as stunned as I am that the mob boss has never been an honoree. So many good things this future Gehenna dweller has done that I can’t remember any of them.
“Since 1978, the Kennedy Center honors have been among the most prestigious awards in the performing arts. I wanted one, I was never able to get one. It’s true, actually,” he said. “I would’ve taken it if they would’ve called me. I waited, and waited, and waited.”
“Then I said to hell with it, I’ll become chairman. And I’ll give myself an honor. Next year we’ll honor Trump, OK?”
Who knows what Don, the performing artist, will do once he settles into his place in Hell. He’s got a lot to settle for, and Beelzebub has special torments lined up for his rotund-ness, sources tell me.

The president claimed he had finished building a wall at the southern border on Wednesday.
So big deal, right? Everyone casually lies. It’s what people do best. Why should the Ass Clown be held to higher standards than you and me?

The president referred to St. Petersburg as “Leningrad”—a name that hasn’t been used since 1991—in a social media post.
I was always taught to respect older people, and now being one of them, I can attest that few actually give a fig about us. But I’ll extend the Agent of Chaos of bit of respect and say maybe he’s just old….and demented, psychotic, sociopathic and a pathetic human being.
