TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings.  Welcome to Liberation Day 2.  What horrors await us?...The reliably conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board gave a big thumbs down to Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” vision unveiled yesterday in the Rose Garden. The markets agreed as the Dow was down 1,300 points at the opening bell. Here’s the WSJ editorial…In case anyone was wondering, the Association of Mature American Citizens – a MAGA alternative to AARP – has picked The Donald’s 1987 best seller The Art of the Deal as April’s book of the month. Worth noting: the book’s co-author, Tony Schwartz, is a loud and proud Trump critic…In other publishing news: From Mar-a-Lago to Mars: President Trump’s Great American Comeback, by Nick Adams, is slated for early May publication. Perhaps a better title would have been “From Mars to Mar-a-Lago.” That might better explain Trump’s erratic out-of-his-mind and out-of-this-world behavior. On his Substack, Adam writes that Trump is a combination of Ronald Reagan and Winston Churchill, but only better. (Cue the gagging)….Dept. of Sticks & Stones: The Gateway Pundit labels “The View” co-host Joy Behar “human garbage” for her reaction to AG Pam Bondi’s call for the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the accused killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson…Another reason to dislike disgraced Brett Favre. The former NFL superstar quarterback just defended Elon Musk in an interview…And if we all don’t have enough to worry about, NBC News reports that honeybees are dying at an alarming rate threatening $17 billion in agricultural production…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard
