TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Dec. 18, 2025

Greetings? Why is grandpa angry? That’s the hilarious tweet Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson posted during Donald Trump’s prime-time bitch-fest last night.  The best thing that can be said about the unhinged POTUS rant was that it lasted only 18 minutes. I was struck by his angry tone and rapid-fire delivery. It was nearly impossible to fully absorb the content. I actually wondered during his presentation if he was medicated. As Rick Wilson joked (I think) in another tweet : “You know, teleprompters have a speed setting. This one is clearly on ‘coke binge.’” Worth noting: In the speech, Trump announced a new government service designed to sell drugs to consumers from Pfizer at discounted prices.  It’s called – naturally – TrumpRx. Check out the weird home page that features The Donald  sitting in what appears to be an AI-created Oval Office…Yesterday, Amazon  dropped the trailer for its feature-length doc “Melania.” It touts an inside look at the reclusive First Lady during the 20 days leading up to the Trump 2.0 inauguration. “Melania” debuts in movie theaters January 30.  Shortly after the documentary’s theatrical release, couch potatoes can catch the film on Amazon Prime Video…TPUSA’s four day AmericaFest 2025 kicks off today in Phoenix.  It features the cream of right-wing royalty including Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly and Erika Kirk…That was quick! After less than a year on the job, Dan Bongino is bolting from his #2 position at the FBI and is likely to return to the much more lucrative life of a conspiracy-slinging right-wing podcaster…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
