Everything Trump does is projection. We’ve all heard that many times and many times it’s been proven applicable.
Take the AI generated video the wannabe king posted after the historic No Kings protests held around the country and around the world.
The video showed the president “wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled ‘King Trump’ that dumps brown liquid on protesters,” according to the New York Times.

Editors at the Times later described the brown liquid as “resembling feces” being dropped on the heads of people gathered in a large city.
Thanks you, New York Times, for sparing our sensibilities, but there is really no other way to say it without downplaying what the president of the United States said in that video.
Here’s the video, in case you haven’t seen it.
The president dumped shit all over Americans exercising the right to protest against him.
Projection indeed.
It seems that everything the grifter-in-chief has done since reclaiming office in January has been to shit on Americans — no matter whether Democrat or Republican. It’s just that many of the Republicans who aren’t wealthy don’t realize they’ve been shit on.
Look at the tariffs that he so loves. The elderly golfer keeps saying that other countries pay the tariffs when everyone knows that it’s coming out of the pockets of American companies and consumers.
A comment about doling out a 100 percent tariff on China and the stock market takes a massive dive. Say adios to your retirement savings.
The GOPmagas won’t talk to the Democrats — and neither will the current occupant of the Gilded Oval Office — and the government continues to be shut down.
Fallout from the shutdown means that the Republicans’ plan to let Obamacare enhanced premium tax credits expire because the president and the GOPmagas in Congress do not care about their constituents — red states as well as blue — being able to afford a 136 percent increase in premiums in 2026.
Then there are $1 trillion worth of cuts to Medicaid that are part of the budget passed by Congress. That will throw up to 15 million people off of healthcare, due to work requirements, increased paperwork requirements and higher out-of-pocket costs. Rural area emergency rooms will be severely impacted, too.
I could go on and on, listing the various executive orders he has proudly signed or the court orders he and his sycophants have proudly ignored.
But a USA Today opinion piece by Rex Huppke says it best:
“What in the name of all that is holy is going on here? How has America, since Trump was inaugurated in late January, sunk so deeply into the literal sewer that we’re having conversations about the Oval Office vulgarian posting hateful poop videos?
“Is this what you voted for, Trump supporters? Republicans, is this what you want? Is this gross, twisted, decidedly un-American imagery modeling the kind of behavior you want your kids to follow? Would you show this video in church on Sunday to inspire the congregation? Is this s— making America great?”
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson seems to be OK with the president’s social media antics.
When asked what is says that the president released a video of him “pooping” on the American people, Johnson said the president was a master of social media and that he was using satire to make a point.
What is the point, Mr. Speaker? Is it satire, or is the president finally confirming what he thinks of us and of himself?
