Today is Wednesday, October 29, 2025. The unhinged “dictator” in chief sparked more fury on social media today when he threatened to send in more than the National Guard to U.S. cities if it’s warranted. This alarming pronouncement by this despot was covered in an online article for OK! entitled “‘Dictator’ Donald Trump Dragged for Threatening to ‘Send More Than the National Guard’ to U.S. Cities,” and it’s by Brianna Sainez.

Without any surprise, Dump’s declaration of sending more than the National Guard to our cities – read, just blue cities – he will never send troops to red states like Alabama, Kentucky, et al. that have more violent crime than the blue states he’s targeting – was raked over the coals by social media users far and wide.

The Orange Despot made this declaration aboard the USS George Washington in Yokohama, Japan, on Tuesday, October 28. He made this announcement to U.S. troops who were forced to listen to this guy bloviate.

The delusional leader stated, “We have cities that have trouble. We can’t have cities that are troubled (boy, is he the troubled one here) and we’re sending in our National Guard. And if we need more than the National Guard, we’ll send more than the National Guard because we’re going to have safe cities. We’re not going to have people killed in our cities.” In the meantime, this douchebag has indiscriminately killed 57 alleged drug traffickers in the Pacific Ocean and on the coast of Colombia without any evidence. Is this even legal?

Then the douchebag continued his despotic rant, “Whether people like it or not, that’s what we’re doing.” Then he fabricated the worst falsehood regarding what people want the federal government to be doing in their fair cities, saying, “You know, people don’t care if we send in our military (I fucking beg to differ since there was the matter of seven million protesters out on our streets last Saturday protesting just this horrible measure.), if we send in our National Guard, if use send in Space Command (why not send in the cavalry while you’re at it?), they don’t care who the hell it is. They just want to be safe. And we have safe cities now.”

Then he made the case worse for himself when he ridiculously claimed he could do whatever he wanted to. Without the courts, or “nobody would get involved.” He added, “And I could send the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines – I could send anybody I wanted.”

Once this clip went out, a flurry of critics on social media rapped Dump for the despot he truly is becoming. One user commented, “This is a dictator fantasy. The president doesn’t get to ‘do whatever I want’ . . . Deploying the military against Americans would continue to spark legal battles, constitutional crises, and grave risks to civil liberties.” Another user wrote, “The American democracy depends on institutions that check power, not on leaders who brag they’re above them.”

One user hit the nail on the head, saying, “Trump’s unhinged fantasy of turning American cities into militarized war zones without a whisper of judicial oversight isn’t leadership, it’s the blueprint for a fascist dictatorship we’d all regret electing.”

When Dump previously announced plans to deploy the National Guard to Washington, D.C., in August, citing rising crime rates, the data on crime rates have actually debunked that claim since rates had already dropped more than 25 percent in the last year. But Dump doesn’t look at facts, he just decides on gut instinct, even though it’s 99 percent wrong all the time!

Despotic comments aside here, Dump is also taking heat for his shambling performance in Asia in which he met with Japan’s new female Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. There he appeared to be in cognitive decline when the prime minister had to forcefully take the president around to meet with dignitaries, where for one moment, it looked as if he strutted away without knowing where he was. Again, I didn’t watch the coverage from his Asia trip at all, and I can’t vouch for that. I did quickly watch a clip on my iPhone, though, and it does appear that the president looked befuddled there for a moment. Again, this could have been forestalled by a majority of American voters just voting for the better candidate in Kamala Harris, but, no, we had to vote for the Alzheimer’s case instead! And now we’re stuck with him declining right in front of our very eyes. Just like Ronald Reagan, and many people would claim Joe Biden as well. I would posit that Biden was far more cogent in his perceived decrepitude than this guy ever was!

A little note about tomorrow: my friend “Harvey” and I will be attending the screening of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho tomorrow evening at Lincoln Center, with the New York Philharmonic performing the score alongside the film. I noticed an ad online announcing the orchestra was doing this a while back, so I decided to buy tickets for it in honor of Halloween. Since Elliot was not interested in going, I asked Harvey instead. He agreed to go. The show starts at 7:30 and we’re meeting to have dinner before the production. I’m looking forward to it.

I’ll see you, possibly, on Friday, which is officially Halloween. I don’t think I’ll go into the Village to watch the parade since rain is forecasted that day. Actually, rain is expected even tomorrow, but this won’t deter me from seeing the cinematic progenitor of all of those slasher films that followed it.

Have a happy Thursday.

And so it went!
