TOM is honestly so transparent in his infantilism it’s near embarrassing. “Once a dramatic feature of the White House entryway, the official portrait of former President Barack Obama has been moved to a decidedly less prominent position, underscoring the yearslong tensions between the 44th and 47th presidents.
Portraits of other recent predecessors with whom President Donald Trump has a contentious relationship, former President George W. Bush and his father, George H. W. Bush, have also been moved.
Trump directed staff to move the Obama portrait to the top of the Grand Staircase, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN, where it will now be out of view from thousands of visitors who tour the White House each day. One of the sources added that the portraits of both Bushes are also now in the staircase area.” I can just imagine him seeing the Bushes and Obama every day and the bile rising in his throat. Thinking to himself that they are actually present and looking down upon him and judging. “White House protocol and precedent calls for portraits of the most recent American presidents to be given the most prominent placement, in the entrance of the executive mansion, visible to guests during official events and visitors on tours.”
On the decimate higher education tour, not only are the Ivies a target (and UCLA) but TOM now has help from good old De Sanctimonious himself in FL. “President Donald Trump’s efforts to reshape higher education in a conservative mold aren’t just targeting Ivy League elites. They’re stripping millions from Florida universities — and the state’s Republican governor is happy to help. But Florida, led by Gov. Ron DeSantis, has the state’s government accountability DOGE team auditing university research projects and even recommending grants for termination.
“The Trump administration is working hard to get some of the rot out of higher education, the intellectual rot, the ideological rot,” DeSantis said last month during an event in Jacksonville.” Awww how cute. Mini DOGE. Ack! “I think what the Trump administration is doing on both K-12 and higher education is trying to hold the line for sanity and restoring sanity to our education system,” DeSantis said at his Jacksonville event. Researchers, meanwhile, face “significant disruption and uncertainty,” as University of Florida officials noted in a May memo to faculty detailing how the school lost more than 70 federal grants, eclipsing $35 million.” Yet another beautiful example of cutting off your nose to spite your face. Does De Santis really think he’ll garner some sort of support from TOM? I hope not, because that makes him more gullible than…..well himself I guess.
