Donald Trump turned 73 years old today. Some 73-year-olds are sharp as tacks, and still capable, intelligent, active, interesting people. But with Trump, it feels like dementia creeps in more and more with each passing day. Should there be an age LIMIT on the presidency? I don’t know. I mean, it would never happen, but it’s an interesting debate. I do feel like no one over the age of 70-71 should be president, but again, I know that “age limits” are like term limits – it’s just not going to happen.
To celebrate his birthday, Bigly sat down for an interview on one of his favorite shows on the TEEVEE. Bigly called into Fox & Friends this morning and talked about how they’re redesigning Air Force One, because the iconic design created by Jackie Kennedy’s team was somehow not classy enough for the gold-plated turd pile Trumps. That’s when this happened:
Trump tells Fox he wants to redo Air Force One livery even though the iconic baby blue was “Jackie O.” He then says, “We have a new Jackie O. It’s called Melania.”

I just… can’t. I’m so tired. Apparently, Trump’s call-in lasted for 50 minutes, because he literally had nothing better to do and it was so bad that even the sycophants at Fox News were trying to wind down the call. Trump also said that he’s not going to fire Kellyanne Conway, even though the US Office of Special Counsel made a special recommendation to Trump that he fire Conway for her repeated violations of the Hatch Act.

Jackie O is turning in her grave
Truly. Jackie was grace (& stylish) under pressure. Another waste of taxpayer money on frivolous BS, how marvelous!
Exactly. NO. We do NOT have a “New Jackie O” named Melania.
We did have. Her name was Michelle!
Queen Complicity can shove right on off, along with Princess Complicit!
We’re living in hell.
Yes.
I can’t believe how hellish this hell really is.
It’s The Twilight Zone… totally surreal *still*!
(And Kaiser, we DO have term limits (so far!) for President: two terms and you’re out. No reason why we can’t have age limits, too, but it would require a Constitutional amendment I would think. The ONLY president to serve more than two terms was Roosevelt, due to WWII. This could be the reason why they’re trying to start a war with Iran, besides helping the Saudis by doing their fighting).
Term limits were established after FDR’s presidency. He was elected 4 times, but not because of the war, there just weren’t term limits. He died during his last term. I don’t think age limits are doable as some people are very capable into their 80’s and even 90’s. Perhaps a mental and psych evaluation should become a requirement. Trump would surely fail. It also annoys me that he has to waste taxpayer money redesigning Air Force 1. It’s symbolic and should be left alone. No one wants Melania T.
I doubt we’d have age limits on this. That would be age discrimination and is illegal. (It happens all the time in hiring practices, but it’s wrong and should never be condoned.)
Vava we already have upper age limits on some jobs. New police recruits, fire fighters, military. In NY you have to under 35 to even take the police / firefighter exam. The Presidency is as demanding, maybe in a different way, as any job out there. And if we can have a lower age limit on the presidency why not an upper? I’d say 65 for a first run would be reasonable.
We already have psych and competency evaluations, but they’re flawed. Clearly.
And we have a minimum age to be president. Why not a max?
What a nightmare this all is. Like their hair… everything they present are obvious and cheaply assembled lies.
yep
Pure Hell.
Let me tell you why: The reason is these fucking Repugnants get away with being mean and incompetent and incoherent as long as they’re forceful. Orange turd even said he could shoot someone in public and get away with it. The majority of people want someone who DOES something and a good slice of those people are angry and uneducated.
This entire “rise above it” is bullshit. It only rises above us and drowns us. I don’t fucking want to go high when they go low; I WANT to go lower and kick them in the dick instead.
We need some freaking leadership as a Democratic party. I get that democrats are generally the intelligent and progressive type so going postal is not the form.
But fuck that. It is now. I want someone who will appeal to the rednecks and call Trump names. I want them to call his genius visa wife an aging trophy who wouldn’t fuck her husband and only began squinting her eyes once she met him because he looks less ugly when you’re half blind. I want the person debating him to lie at any cost and hold up doctored pics of Russains women peeing on Trump and pan to Trumps face when he thinks they’re real. I want a Democratic candidate to go on live t.v. and demand that Trump be hacked and imply there will be rewards. I WANT fucking blood. It’s fair now.
I don’t want polite bullshit or so-called honor.
This is life or death for the people.
I want this demented particle of a person to lose everything and I want all his supporters to go with him.
THAT is how we win; we win by first, recognizing that NOW, unfortunately, it is divided and draw a line in the sand. If you want to unite then, first, divide and conquer. Get them at their own game. Fix it afterward.
Go primitive, go survival. Sadly, intelligence is not the way to reach most people. The loudest one wins so let them hear you in the back row.
Hillary couldn’t do it.
Most democrats can’t
Scorch fucking earth.
That’s how we win right now.
@Raina, unfortunately this is a true statement. Most of America is uneducated and those that are, are not interested in thinking for themselves.
I took and ethics class in college. Grad level. And a marketing company came in to show us their political ads. One was for a judge who states he won’t let his personal opinion sway the way he decides in a case. And I told the rep that was a lie. And he said: why yes, but it’s Thursday night where most Americans are at home drinking beer and watching Friends; while you are all here taking classes. And you are not the norm nor middle America.
I was FLOORED!
I have one word in response, but I can’t post it here and even if I could, feminists who allow themselves to be tools for the right, will tell me I can’t use that language in relation to her even though it’s absolutely what she is. So…
Next.
I’m free next Tuesday as well.
Best. Comment. Ever.
So we’ll see you then.
Holy shit that was a good one
LOL
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Bravo!
I prefer to think of today as
Happy #NationalJohnMcCainDay. While I may not have agreed with his politics, this man was a TRUE hero, unlike birthday boy, Cadet Bone Spurs, a man who calls vets “weak” for suffering from PTSD.
You win. That comment is pure platinum grade. Cheers!
hahahaha
LOL
Brilliant!
Perfect!
😂😂😂😂😂amazing
IDK. She admitted straight up to Vanity Fair(?) that she was only with him to dig for gold, so they couldn’t possibly fault you for telling it like it is.
I mean, it’s not like the Right are hypocrites who are totally fine with non-working illegal immigrants who actually cost the country hundreds of millions of dollars and bring their non-working parents in through chain migration, just as long they’re white.
Yep
LOL!
I only object on the grounds that I use that word as a compliment and not as a dig. But I concur with general spirit of your comments, and I am one who still feels some sympathy for her because I do think she is an abused woman, and I do not think that abused people necessarily think clearly.
I miss just hating her vapidity when she was on the cover of Vogue circa Barron. I miss the world in which I paid zero percent attention to that horrible family.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Let's not undercut ourselves by allowing that word to define us as less than.
NONE of y'all are even willing to type it out, soooooo?
I feel it, every thing you said@@@!!!. I try to go high and my knees get knocked out from under me. Where I work, a large company the supervisors and managemt feel emboldened to tell those under them to work harder, don’t whine. You dont love this? Leave, we will force you out or you should quit. Noticeable change with this political administration.
It’ll look like Saudi gaudy vulgarity meets Russian oligarch’s plastic-sheet penthouse.
BOOM
I really need a like button here.
Well DT is ugly and old like Ari Onassis, so maybe Melania and Jackie aren’t that far apart.
Lol…at least Jackie didn’t have “kidney” surgery.
LOL
Leave it alone and STOP SPENDING MONEY on stuff no one needs! How many school meals would this pay? Thousands. I’m so furious.
Trump has spent more time thinking about that plane than he will ever spend thinking about poor kids.
Or Tiffany 😂
So this is how our president spends his time. Watching Fox News and looking at colors swatches for Airforce One. Please, please make it stop.
Not one real POTUS since Kennedy has made any substantial changes to AF1 during their terms. It’s almost like it was at the very bottom of their list of priorities.
So, which Kennedy, past and present, told him he sucked for him to start in on this?
Pretty much all of them including Jackie herself. Caroline has probably climbed out of windows at Lincoln Center to avoid being photographed with Nagini at Ballet galas
Calling her Nagini will never, not be funny.
‘Has probably climbed out of windows at Lincoln center’
I’m dying!
PBS did a series called “The Dictators Playbook” where they looked at famous dictators of the past century to find patterns in how they operate. One dictator tactic is to say outrageous and crazy things so that everyone starts talking about it and gets worked up, with the dictator’s hope that they get distracted from the *real* crap going down. Idi Amin is a classic example of this kind of behavior.
Anyway, this kind of stuff is awful for sure and people are right to get upset. BUT it is nothing compared to the fact that Trump has basically coopted the government to the Federalist Society freaks and human garbage like Kris Kobach. And now Bolton and Pompeo are trying to stir up a war (if Trump has ANY redeeming value it’s that he seems reluctant to engage).
Moreover, George Bush’s policies (other than immigration) were as awful as Trump’s, and his administration has an insane body count due to the war he started up for Halliburton. Yet Bush gets a pass because he gives candy to Michelle Obama.
I am so glad that you named Kris Kobach for the piece of ivy league educated racist asshole that he is!!
Great post! I 100% agree
Kobach is Trump with a smaller waistline.
I’m from Kansas and I despise Kobach. He’s truly vile. And now we’ve got Josh Hawley on the Missouri side. After having had frickin Greitens. Plus, you head north to Iowa and you’ve got the truly garbage human, Steve King. I would like to formally apologize to the rest of the country for the vile garbage coming out of the Midwest.
Always always remember – this isn’t just trump. This is the GOP. They hate America.
I recently heard someone call him “Tweety Amin.” Couldn’t be more perfect. Unfortunately.
Wasting tax dollars on purpose. Destroying everything he can while he’s able to. Upsetting everyone so they won’t focus instead on his crimes. Distraction King. The media gins up these controversies because they sell papers and keep eyes on televisions.
It’s really given as a mission to destroy all positive things that have other presidents do, so that no one forgets him.
Knowing their taste of decoration “terrible and sticky” I’m afraid of the end result!
Does she have eyeballs?
The face lifts have pulled her lids over them.
No she had them taken out so that she wouldn’t have to see him.
😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
“It’s”
“It’s called Melania.”
Because she’s a thing.
ETA Congress is blocking funding for the new plane ✈️ paint job. That’s why he’s talking about it now. He wanted to change it when he first took office.
Will there be golden toilets?
Yes, and faux pillars and ceiling murals of Ivanka in a bikini.
I just threw up in my mouth at that. Thanks.
We want melanie to be comfy on her travels.

O. M. G.
And I’m just now noticing she’s holding a gun in that photo…
Her bolt-ons look disgusting and painful.
WHY???
Of all the things that tax payer dollars could be used for, he chose this?
Did someone along the way insult his Bigly plane?
Why in the hell would he even care about this? And why would SHE?
Is it going to be decorated like the “marvelous Christmas decor” she installed in the White House?
Is he going to paint it black and have his name emblazoned on the side in bigly gold letters?
Is it too soon to start drinking??
I honestly think his staff gives him projects like these to keep him busy and happy because he doesn’t have the capacity or attention to work on anything real. It’s like giving a needy toddler the “very important” job of moving a box of blocks one by one to keep them out of your way.
Laughing at the “It’s called Melania”. It. Nice.
Does the interior of Air Force One – Trump Edition have the slogan “I really (really!) don’t care” as its theme? What a bloody waste of taxpayer money!
I’m know this has been verboten recently but does she wear a wig? I’m looking for her hairline and I never see it.
Yes. In their pictures with the Pope, it was sliding forward over her face. Other times, it has been slightly crooked.
Well it’s better he is busy painting AF1than playing with the CODES I suppose! 🤔
Is that fake Melania in the top photo?
Fredricks of Hollywood interior. Have a little sex grotto. Stripper pole when she gets bored.
😋
I hope this redecorating is put off. It worries me they’re thinking their trashy asses are going to be in the Russia house another 4 years.
I’m just going to pacify myself by thinking that I’ll probably never see this plane in person (thank god!) and hopefully whoever is in office next puts everything back in its rightful place…including Jackie O’s AF1 décor…and everything else that has been f-ed up, but that’s for another thread.
Future Presidents will wonder about the mirrors on the ceiling.
Slightly off topic but its Agent Orange’s birthday today and Twitter has done the resistance proud by making #JohnMcCainDay trend at the No 1 spot to troll IQ45.

When is someone going to remind him that Jackie O became Jackie O only after her husband the President was assassinated?
Politics aside, I don’t want to make a cheap joke about assassination, but it’s staggering to me that his need to be a famewhore renders him incapable of seeing that obvious reality.
@enough, yep. Jackie was Kennedy when the plane was decorated. Hello, idiot Trump.
I just can not accept this is our actual POTUS.
Weeping Jesus on the Cross.
All the previous POTUS should help America by publicly declaring Trump to be a fool/idiot/crook/detestable jerk, unfit for office.
My word, literally almost anyone could do a better job.
And yes, I agree that he is the King of Distraction. What will it take to replace him?
Schools out and we are, again, looking at many kids that may actually go hungry this summer without a school lunch. That is wrong and it is certainly not BEing BEST to be more concerned about the colors on a plane than about them. So that is right there what the (UGH, not mine) President and the First lady are concerned about. Appearance, ego, eradicating history and denigrating others while doing nothing to help where it is truly needed. Sad state of affairs.
I have no sympathy for Melania. She’s just as bad in her own way. Also remember she pushed that birthirism crap on Obama alongside her husband.
Jackie O. was no saint but what she had was a natural class and eloquence. And she was actual fluent in several languages. Melania can’t really string a couple of sentences before tripping over herself and plagiarize somebody elses speech. Also a big deal has been made about Melania speaking multiple languages…which i guess if you brabble a couple of Italian words suddenly makes you Queen of the Nile. So yeah that Einstein visa she received is suspect.
They will be a footnote in history…a sh*tstain that can’t be wiped clean. Her husband a cautionary tale for future presidents and she a certefied fashion victim on “how not to dress” lists.
It’s easy AF to decorate something as Melania; do absolutely nothing.
The only way Jackie O would roll over in her grave is from laughing so hard.
Children in cages. Congrats, we have sunk to new depths. Wait! Drumph was restrained on his trip to England when the Queen of England flirted outrageously with Donald and Melania’s wardrobe was smashing@! Hopefully Putins puppet and the Prince of Whales had a super beautiful, amazing 1.5 hour meeting! Middle east is solved.
That’s really weird, because I toured one of the Air Force One planes around 2004ish and they specifically said Nancy Reagan designed the interior of it. Sadly, they didn’t let me take pictures of the interior.
This is the only picture I was allowed to take:
