Having a beef heart is better than none. The joint address to Congress was packed with the lies and grievances of his rally speeches, and barely acknowledged the economic chaos he is causing.

The Trumpy Trout ad shows a talking fish head that bears a striking resemblance to former President Donald Trump. This satirical product is seemingly inspired by the iconic Big Mouth Billy Bass. It is a mounted fish plaque with animatronic features that deliver Trump-inspired speeches filled with fish puns. The Trumpy Trout is priced at $59.95 plus shipping and handling. It mimics Trump’s distinctive look with its orange hue, blonde hair, and suit. The fish hangs from a plaque that bears the slogan “Making Fishing Great Again.” The product says a range of humorous lines in a style similar to Trump's, such as “I'm building a new pond, and the bass will pay for it” and “I am the hugely, bigliest fish in the pond.” (via Times Now News) www.msn.com/... x x YouTube Video

Red herring: Why Trump wrongly blames a fish for LA wildfires

In reality, California's Delta smelt has minimal connection to the city's water supply, say experts, who argue the US president's willingness to condemn an endangered species reflects the chaotic and shortsighted nature of his environmental policies. "It's scapegoating an internal enemy that's supposed to be responsible for all our problems, in this case, fires and drought -- and directing everybody's anger toward that," John Buse, general counsel for the Center for Biological Diversity, told AFP. It is a "classic authoritarian" move, he argues -- and a likely harbinger of what we will see under Trump 2.0. Trump's assertion, first made on Truth Social, claimed that Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to sign an order allowing millions of gallons of water from excess rain and snowmelt to flow southward from the state's north had hampered firefighting efforts. He reiterated the accusation in a Day One executive order dramatically titled "Putting People Over Fish: Stopping Radical Environmentalism to Provide Water to Southern California." - Real crisis, wrong culprit — www.france24.com/...
