Looks like the Agent of Destruction is getting bored with all the havoc, killings and mayhem he’s brought to the Middle East, and now wants to ‘stop by’ Cuba and do his peace president thing on them.
The mind of a psychotic is a dark and loathsome place.

I’m sure this excursion will go just as well the destruction he’s brought to Iran.
But wait, Dumpy has other good news that he’s made up.
Trump Says Gas Prices Are ‘Not Very High’ When Asked When Americans Can Expect Relief – via mediate.com
President Donald Trump spoke to reporters outside the White House on Thursday and was asked about gas prices, which he declared are “not very high.”
“Okay, and then on gas prices, how much longer will Americans continue to see these high gas prices?” Trump was asked by a reporter during the lengthy Q&A.
“Well, they’re not very high. If you look at what they were supposed to be in order to get rid of a nuclear weapon, with the danger that entails, so the gas prices have come down very much over the last three, four days,” hit back Trump.
“$4 a gallon still,” replied the reporter.
“I know, you know, that’s what ABC says, but the fact is that if you look, the stock market’s up, everything is doing really well. And the big thing we have to do is we have to make sure that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, because if they do, you want to talk about problems, you’d have problems. So, very important is that Iran does not have a nuclear weapon, and they’ve agreed to that. Iran’s agreed to it, and they’ve agreed to do it very powerfully,” Trump replied.
According to AAA, the national average cost of a gallon of gas on Thursday was $4.093, with the highest price in California at $5.864 and the lowest in Oklahoma at $3.435.
Hmmm, I didn’t catch the article, white paper or memorandum of “what gas prices are suppose to be in order to get rid of a nuclear weapon” (that Iran doesn’t have). Dumpy must still be trippin’ that he’s Jesus Christ.
Trump yanks millions from Catholic Charities amid Pope feud – via msn.com
That’s just what Jesus would do, right?
The Trump administration has abruptly canceled a multimillion-dollar contract with a Catholic charity that houses and cares for migrant children amid the president’s feud with Pope Leo XIV.
Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami has helped provide vital services to unaccompanied minors for more than 60 years, but could now shut down within a matter of months after the administration canceled an $11 million federal contract.
The decision comes amid tensions between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo, the leader of the Catholic Church, over issues such as migration and the war in Iran. Trump has launched a series of attacks against the American-born pontiff, including suggesting Leo was “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy.” The 79-year-old president also received intense criticism after he shared an image depicting himself as Jesus Christ on social media.
Writing for the Miami Herald, Thomas Wenski, archbishop of Miami, said it is “baffling” that the government would want to shut down a service that has helped thousands of children who entered the U.S. without parents or guardians since the 1960s. (read more)
