The anticipated title is found in this article, “Trump Lashes Out After Affidavit’s Release“.
I Did Nothing Wrong, By Donald J. Trump (ghostwriter still to be determined).
Trump’s Autobio

The Documents Are Ours
The New York Times:
“In his final speech as president, Mr. Trump declared, ‘We were not a regular administration.’
His statement was indisputably accurate. From his first hours in office, Mr. Trump had always taken a proprietary view of the presidency, describing government documents and other property — even his staff — as his own personal possessions. “They’re mine” is how he often put it, former aides said.
But that was not the case. Under the Presidential Records Act, the law that strictly governs the handling of records generated in the Oval Office, every document belonged to taxpayers.”
How The Former Guy Plays Golf
From a New York Times reporter who followed the Former Guy during Thursday’s LIV Golf pro-am.
“He had. . . not finished a hole after his blast from a bunker had failed to reach the green and was nestled in some nasty rough. Instead, he had his caddie pick up the ball and march to the next tee. On another hole, when a birdie putt rolled nearly six feet past the hole, he casually scooped the ball up to end the hole, apparently conceding himself a par. Try that this weekend in your match with your usual foursome. Or any foursome.
At other times, a Trump mis-hit would simply be ignored. As if understanding the drill, his caddie would retrieve the golf ball from the sand or deep rough and walk forward.”
Hardly news. Why would anyone, paying any attention, expect him to play it as it lies and count all his strokes?
Inside The Peloton
You’re a huge cycling fan. Can’t get enough of the Tour de France. Like most professional cycling fans, you wonder what kind of convos the riders in the peloton have with one another. I’m happy to provide a little flavor flav from today’s stage.
Ron Roglic: On the way to the start today I almost got hit by a guy in a big truck with a bumper sticker that said, “We The People. . . are pissed.”
Dennis Bernal: Biden supporter?
RR: Haha. Shit, don’t take your anger, or more likely victimhood, out on me.
DB: Maybe he’s more into bumper stickers than voting.
RR: Yeah. It’s not my fault he’s deplorable.
Trump Broke Dishes, Splattered Wall With Ketchup
Granted, not even a ‘Top 100’ offense for the Former Guy; hell, not even a ‘Top 10’ offense from today’s testimony, but who among us hasn’t thrown their lunch against a wall when upset by something at work?
Trump and Ukraine
‘This Was Trump Pulling a Putin’ from Robert Draper in The New York Times Magazine. Littered with jaw-dropping anecdotes and illuminating insights.
Count me a huge Fiona Hill fan.
Delusions of Grandeur
From the New York Times.
“Richard P. Donoghue, a former top Justice Department official, repeatedly informed Mr. Trump that both his specific and general claims of fraud were false.”
“Instead of accepting Mr. Donoghue’s account, Mr. Trump abruptly switched subjects and asked about ‘double voting’ and ‘dead people’ voting, then moved on to a completely different claim about how, he said, ‘Indians are getting paid’ to vote on Native American reservations.”
You Always Hate To See A Breakup On Valentine’s Day
From the New York Times, “Accounting Firm Cuts Ties With Trump and Retracts Financial Statements”.
“The firm (Mazars USA). . . disclosed that, while compiling the information for Mr. Trump, it had ‘become aware of departures from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.'”
Someone shred those documents and flush them down the nearest toilet.
Sentence To Ponder
From “How Trump Coins Became an Internet Sensation“.
Some context. Watchdogs have warned that Telegram a Facebook and Twitter-like social media platform exercises far less moderation than its rivals.
“In one post, a fake account for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican closely aligned with Mr. Trump, shared a fake story on a fake Fox News website about a fake tweet by a fake Elon Musk, falsely claiming that Tesla’s chief executive would soon accept Trump coins as payment.”
Heaven help us.
Joe With The Technical Knockout
When told The Former Guy was infected with the ‘rona during one of their debates, President Biden said the one thing a narcissist NEVER wants to hear, “I don’t think about the former president.”
Given his daily “To Do” list, I believe Joe. Everyone else, the January 6th commission and professional historians aside, take note.
