"Too many holidays!" said the fuckup who's never worked a day in his life.

On Juneteenth, President Trump says America has "too many non-working holidays"



"It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don't want it either! Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every … working day of the year," Mr. Trump wrote. "It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Every week is "Golden Shower Week."



Background: Donald J Trump represents the most successful spy operation of all time. And thanks to Just-us John Roberts redefining the meaning of "Insurrection" and the very words of the Constitution of the United States of America, an active Russian agent has been allowed to return to the Oval Office to again "serve" as the pee-resident.



Normally, I'd say: "Think about that!" But, destroying truth is what tyrants do. It's why they hate a free press.

It's why trumpf is doing all he can to sue anyone who ever wrote anything bad about him. Now he has the DoJ doing his dirty work and handing the legal bill to the U.S. taxpayer.

The photo of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and dip above was taken by TASS, the official Russian news agency. The US media were not informed about the 2017 visit. We learned about it because the Unstable Moron himself spread the pic proudly on social media.

How many people do you know who’ve seen that picture or the one below, taken on an earlier date in the Oval Office? Again, very few.



“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.”

"I'm not under investigation," he added.

And this is the man leading the "restructuring of American government" today winking at Putin at a diplomatic affair during his first madministration.



No wonder Putin, the Kremlin and the GRU and whatever the KGB is called these days call him "America's Gorbachev." Gorby sped up the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Now Putin returns the favor through Trump and his destruction of America's economy, hailed just before the 2024 election by The Economist as "The Envy of the World."

Someone call the Military Police: traitor salutes a general of the nation which seized in 1968 and still illegally holds the USS Pueblo, a commissioned vessel on the active roll of the United States Navy, the second longest-serving ship in active service second only to the USS Constitution.



A mal-educated elite born to rule and regulate everything under the sun in order to skim a piece from all the action.

Lock him up with the criminally insane.

14. Trump says there are 'too many non-working holidays in America' on Juneteenth
Fri Jun 20, 2025, 11:23 AM
Friday

trump is the laziest president in history.





President Donald Trump took to his social media platform on Thursday to say that there are "too many non-working holidays in America."

His comments come on Juneteenth, the federal holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

Trump claimed that federal holidays are costing the country billions of dollars, and workers do not support them either.

"It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump wrote.

Former President Joe Biden enshrined Juneteenth as a federal holiday in 2021, and it was celebrated at the White House every June 19 of his administration.

Notably, the White House kept a full schedule on Thursday.

Hypnotist Richard Barker Shows How Trumpnosis, Donald Trump's Form of Covert Hypnosis, Affects Millions Around the World

NEWS PROVIDED BY
Richard Barker, Incredible Hypnotist
Mar 29, 2016, 08:35 ET

ORLANDO, Fla., March 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hypnotist Richard Barker has just released research surrounding mass hypnosis and has coined the phrase "Trumpnosis".

Trumpnosis.com has been receiving lots of interest as of late. Covert hypnosis means having access to people's subconscious mind and altering the way they behave and think in a disguised or somewhat hidden way. Some popular covert hypnosis techniques used to align someone's behavior and thoughts to the desired outcome of the hypnotists are displayed during mass hypnosis.

Barker typically refers to mass hypnosis as "Trumpnosis", since he states, "Mr. Trump displays it so well". The media have also made comments regarding the Hypnotizing of a nation and questioned what is happening to America. Through the words and actions of an individual, can we influence and suggest a nation to think a certain way? Richard Barker who is known as the 'Incredible Hypnotist' thinks so. Barker said, "Everything we do and see must first start with a thought process. We don't see the world; we think it. If your thoughts are influenced by a master Hypnotist to think in a certain way on a mass level, this is 'Trumpnosis'".

Mass Hypnotism can apply to everything and be everywhere – in families, in schools and in politics. The influence and use of repetition on crowds is identified through Mr. Trump's speeches and is seen to influence even the most enlightened minds. The power is due to the fact that the repeated statements are embedded in those profound regions of our subconscious mind.

Donald Trump successfully uses techniques such as pacing and leading, anchoring, verbal confusion, repetition and so on. He successfully bypasses the critical factor in minds of some people and has the ability to turn off the rational thinking. By using certain words and behavior, a speaker can very quickly establish a rapport with an audience. Repeated exposure to the same speaker can result in them being viewed with admiration, bordering on worship. Every word uttered is accepted as the complete truth.

“ Through the words he has used, both now and in the past, he has placed others into a hypnotic state without them knowing," says Barker. "Trump's speeches contains hypnosis techniques of hypnotic anchoring, pacing and leading, critical factor bypass and so on."

Hypnotist Richard Barker insists, "All you need to remember is that most people's needs are based on their instincts. Understanding people's instincts, especially in a mass gathering, is one of the key goals of mass hypnosis. Trumpnosis is a vehicle for enabling large groups of people to have an altered belief system."

Richard Barker is a World Renowned Professional Hypnotist. He has spent the last 20 years working with thousands of clients across the world. Richard Barker has recently appeared on NBC's The Today Show, CBS' The Late Late Show with James Corden, FOX's Good Day LA and News channels for FOX and ABC http://incrediblehypnotist.com

He has written a new book focusing on Persuasion and Suggestion titled, "Selling Hypnotically. The Art Of Suggestion" http://sellinghypnotically.com

In 2020, the Republican president claimed he "made Juneteenth very famous." In 2025, he didn't bother to acknowledge the national holiday at all.

Trump in 2020, looking for votes: brags about making Juneteenth “very famous,” vows to make it a federal holiday

Trump in 2025: ignores Juneteenth, complains about Americans having too many holidays www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Steve Benen (@stevebenen.com) 2025-06-20T13:52:58.419Z

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/no-longer-looking-votes-trump-changes-tune-juneteenth-holiday-rcna214059

Five years ago this week, Donald Trump sat down with The Wall Street Journal and appeared to take credit for public recognition of Juneteenth, which honors the end of slavery in the United States. “I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous,” the president said, patting himself on the back. “It’s actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it.”....

Five years later, it’s apparently no longer “good.” The New York Times reported:

Juneteenth, the holiday that marks the end of slavery in the United States, has been celebrated at the White House each June 19 since it was enshrined into law four years ago. But on Thursday, it went unmarked by the president — except for a post on social media in which he said he would get rid of some ‘non-working holidays.’


In the Republican’s first term — before Joe Biden made Juneteenth an official federal holiday in 2021 — the Trump White House issued a proclamation honoring the day every year in mid-June. This year, amid an aggressive partisan campaign against anything that’s even tangentially related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and as the administration takes indefensible steps to bury Black history, the Trump White House couldn’t be bothered to even acknowledge the existence of the holiday......

Or put another way, the president who’s spent an inordinate amount of his second term golfing at Trump-owned properties was annoyed to discover that many Americans failed to work on a national holiday that he used to recognize as important.

As Election Day 2020 approached, Trump unveiled what he labeled the “Platinum Plan” for Black voters, outlining a series of goals for his second term, which included making Juneteenth a federal holiday. But after Biden did what Trump only talked about, the Republican apparently lost interest.

For his part, the former Democratic president delivered Juneteenth remarks at the historic Reedy Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Galveston, Texas. “I don’t come here today to only commemorate the past. I come here because we know the good Lord isn’t done with us yet,” Biden said, adding, “We have work to do. We need to keep pushing America forward.”

These were the kind of comments the incumbent president could've made, but didn't.

Miss Universe Boss: The End of Evolution is the Splendid Blond Beast

He thinks he's the ultimate golden oldie, I kid you not: The "blonde hair, blue eyes" is the end-all, be-all. Besides, white power, of course.





The Miss Universe CEO said crowning a winner with 'blond hair and blue eyes' is the 'ultimate evolution' for the pageant

* Miss Universe CEO Anne Jakrajutatip said the pageant no longer needs to evolve.

* "We have blond and blue eyes, so we're coming to the ultimate evolution already," she said.

* Jakrajutatip previously came under fire for saying diverse women "can compete, but they can't win."


by Anneta Konstantinides
Yahoo, Updated Fri, November 22, 2024

Shortly after Victoria Kjaer Theilvig was named the new Miss Universe on Saturday, she sat down for a press conference with the pageant's CEO, Anne Jakrajutatip.

Theilvig is an accomplished dancer, beauty entrepreneur, and mental-health advocate who uses her platform to share her story about overcoming abuse. But when a reporter asked Jakrajutatip about the evolution of the Miss Universe pageant, she fixated on Theilvig's looks.

"Evolution?" the CEO asked, her eyes widening as she sat alongside Theilvig, in a clip of the interview posted on Instagram by the pageant blog @roadtomissusa. "Evolution? We have blond and blue eyes, so we're coming to the ultimate evolution already. We don't need any more evolution here. We already got the best here."

Jakrajutatip said last year she'd create a diverse pageant "for all women around the world."

That didn't take long, Trump's old Miss Universe company going from "DEI" into full White Power mode.

An excerpt from Christopher Simpson, author of "The Splendid Blond Beast," is in order:



The Splendid Blond Beast

by Christopher Simpson
Common Courage Press, 1995

Friedrich Nietzsche called the aristocratic predators who write society's laws "the splendid blond beast" precisely because they so often behave as though they are beyond the reach of elementary morality. As he saw things, these elites have cut a path toward a certain sort of excellence consisting mainly of the exercise of power at the expense of others. When dealing with ordinary people, he said, they "revert to the innocence of wild animals.... We can imagine them returning from an orgy of murder, arson, rape and torture, jubilant and at peace with themselves as though they had committed a fraternity prank-convinced, moreover, that the poets for a long time to come will have something to sing about and to praise.'' Their brutality was true courage, Nietzsche thought, and the foundation of social order.

Today genocide-the deliberate destruction of a racial, cultural, or political group-is the paramount example of the institutionalized and sanctioned violence of which Nietzsche spoke. Genocide has been a basic mechanism of empire and the national state since their inception and remains widely practiced in "advanced" and "civilized" areas. Most genocides in this century have been perpetrated by nation-states upon ethnic minorities living within the state's own borders; most of the victims have been children. The people responsible for mass murder have by and large gotten away with what they have done. Most have succeeded in keeping wealth that they looted from their victims; most have never faced trial. Genocide is still difficult to eradicate because it is usually tolerated, at least by those who benefit from it.

The Splendid Blond Beast examines how the social mechanisms of genocide often encourage tacit international cooperation in the escape from justice of those who perpetrated the crime...

Snip...

But the ideology of these authoritarian parties and even their seizure of state power are not necessarily enough to trigger a genocide. The leading perpetrators need mass mobilizations to actually implement their agenda. For example, the real spearheads of genocide in Germany-the Nazi party, SS, and similar groups- by themselves lacked the resources to disenfranchise and eventually murder millions of Jews. They succeeded in unleashing the Holocaust, however, by harnessing many of the otherwise ordinary elements of German life-of commerce, the courts, university scholarship, religious observance, routine government administration, and so on-to the specialized tasks necessary for mass murder. Not surprisingly, many of the leaders of these "ordinary" institutions were the existing notables in German society. The Nazi genocide probably would not have been possible without the active or tacit cooperation of many collaborators who did not consider themselves Nazis and, in some cases, even opposed aspects of Hitler's policies, yet nonetheless cooperated in mass murder. Put bluntly, the Nazis succeeded in genocide in part through offering bystanders money, property, status, and other rewards for their active or tacit complicity in the crime.

The actions of Nazi Germany's business elite illustrate how this works. Prior to 1933, German business leaders did not show a marked impulse toward genocide. Anti-Semitism was present in German commercial life, of course, but was often less pronounced there than in other European cultures of the day.4 Among the Nazis' first acts in power, however, was the introduction of incentives to encourage persecution of Jews. New Aryanization laws created a profitable business for banks, corporations, and merchants willing to enforce Nazi racial preferences. Tens of thousands of Germans seized businesses or real estate owned by Jews, paying a fraction of the property's true value, or drove Jewish competitors out of business. Jewish wealth, and later Jewish blood, provided an essential lubricant that kept Germany's ruling coalition intact throughout its first decade in power. By 1944 and 1945, leaders of major German companies such as automaker Daimler Benz, electrical manufacturers AEG and Siemens, and most of Germany's large mining, steelmaking, chemical, and construction companies found themselves deeply compromised by their exploitation of concentration camp labor, theft, and in some cases complicity in mass murder. They committed these crimes not so much out of ideological conviction but more often as a means of preserving their influence within Germany's economy and society. For much of the German economic elite, their cooperation in atrocities was offered to Hitler's government in exchange for its aid in maintaining their status.
