Trump II pardoned two turkeys yesterday (in addition to thousands of people who'd committed foul crimes). In his speech Trump channeled the spirit of Kranksgiving by bringing up his political opponents.
The image of the loud mouthed, nursing home bully returned to my mind. Kranky is as kranky does.
It's Kranksgiving on the new Rose Garden patio. Enjoy your umbrella drinks under cloudy skies, high of 45 and low of 32. The umbrella may help to block the wind. The Trump's won't be with you.
The Palm Beach Post reported:
First lady Melania Trump joined President Donald Trump as they began a six-day Thanksgiving visit to Palm Beach on Tuesday, Nov. 25. The first couple arrived hours after hosting an annual turkey-pardoning ceremony in which the president sought to counter the politically fraught affordability debate by citing "incredible strides" in lowering food prices.
White House trade advisor Peter Navarro, who spent part of his youth in the Palm Beaches, communications director Steven Cheung and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche also flew on Air Force One, which landed at Palm Beach International Airport at 8:22 p.m.Independent voters who'd aligned with Trump in 2024 have now abandoned the President, according to the article. It stated one poll had Trump II's approval rating at 34%. Apparently other people don't like kranky either.
Update: The Florida sun did not change Trump II's Kranksgiving spirit as he went after a NYT reporter, calling her ugly on the inside and out."
Update 11-28-25: It was nice having a Thanksgiving holiday break from Trump's incessant berating and bragging.
Trump II's Kranksgiving included a phone call with military members where he offered a golf rant that savaged Biden's golf game and elevated Trump's to near perfection. Trump has spent 24% of his second term in office on the golf course.
The kranky old guy in the nursing home lobby enjoys smacking his "competition." That's who Trump reminds me of.
