Say, Elon, Can I Borrow Some Ketamine?
Just Another Friday Under Trump
Do you sometimes read the news headlines and feel like you are losing your mind?
It happens every Friday. That is the big news dump day. You’ve worked hard all week, and you’ve made it to Friday, and you are looking forward to the weekend. You are mulling over plans for some fun in the sun on Saturday. You have promised yourself that this weekend — finally, this time for sure — you are going to take time off from looking at the news. Right?
Then every damn Friday, there is the Trump news dump (and yes, the pun is so obvious, but I’m classy, so I don’t do poop puns — even though I technically just did). Sometimes it is infuriating news, sometimes it is alarming news, but it is always hilarious news in a dark humor sort of way.
Of course, it also wouldn’t be a Friday if Trump didn’t drop some new tariff news to blow up the economy yet again.
I’m creating a small time capsule illustration of this day — May 30, 2025. A few years from now, I will look back on it and chuckle at the insanity. We have the normalizing of abnormality where any one of these headlines would, in another age, have been the greatest earth-shattering and shocking news ever.
