fun story in the news is that President Trump is fed up with Rosie O'Donnell, who as you know moved to Ireland and she's living there right now. And so Trump has said in a Truth Social, he said, not a great American, because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interest of our great country. This is the president of the United States talking about one person, Rosie O'Donnell, who's…

He knows they're just going to chew up all their criticism time talking about this and that the public's just gonna be sort of laughing at it.
But the best part is this. Sooner or later some member of the press is going to say, "Are you really serious about this?" And he'll probably say something in a Trump-like fashion of, "Well, we'll see. You know, I haven't made a decision, but you know, there's a good argument for it." Something like that.
And then what will the member of the press of course ask next? What would be the most obvious guaranteed question that will come up if Trump actually keeps with this theme? The question will be, are you going to consider taking away anyone else's citizenship? Do you see the trap yet?
And then when they say, "Are you going to do that to anyone else?" What would be his answer? Only Rosie O'Donnell. Boom. And the prank is complete. The best troll in the history of trolling.
Jonathan Turley helpfully points out that the president cannot take away somebody's citizenship, which makes it even funnier because I'm sure he knows he can't do it. And if he tried, I'm sure he knows the courts would throw it out. So the fact that this is even a story is just the most wonderful troll. Just good presidenting. The president knows that entertaining us is part of the job. I don't think any other president has ever understood that the way he does, that if you keep us entertained, we're more likely to be on your team. It just works that way. We like to be entertained.
Well, speaking of entertainment, over in Ireland, Conor McGregor is trying to get some things changed in their system so that he could be possibly nominated to run for president of Ireland. Now, apparently president of Ireland is kind of a ceremonial position. It's not so much a powerful position, but I believe that Conor wants to champion the idea of closing down excess immigration into Ireland because it's changing the character of Ireland. So he might be able to do that from the president's office.
Now, I asked Grok and he said it was unlikely that he would be able to beat through the nomination process because it requires people who are already elected, I guess, some number of them to agree. So it's not up to the public. It's not like our system where if enough voters want him to run in the primary that he's the candidate. They have some other system.
So he's got a petition going to see if he can get the system changed so that he could be on the ballot. But what I would like to add to this conversation is that although he has many drawbacks, as in people have strong opinions about him, he's been accused of sex crimes and he's got some baggage if you know what I mean.
But do you think it's impossible for someone who is accused of sex crimes to become the president of a nation? Well, I think it might be. But here's the part that I think is the hidden magic.
Conor McGregor is a student of success, meaning he's known to absorb a great deal of practical advice about how to be successful at anything and that helped him win his titles, etc. He is probably stu

dying Trump, has probably read his share of materials about how to be persuasive. His coach has absorbed some of my materials and I just noticed this morning that Conor follows me on X. So I guess he's also used the book *The Secret*, which is sort of an affirmations kind of approach. So I believe he's sort of an affirmations guy, which would just be one small corner of the process for success. H…
