DICTATORS ON PARADE!

TRUMP ISN'T GOING TO THE PARTY... Awwwww.

China's President Xi is having his BIG MILITARY PARADE on Monday, and Putin and Kim Jong Un are going. But poor little Donnie wasn't invited.

THAT's OK. Donnie's getting a new Parade of his OWN - so nyah nyah nyah - he didn't want to go to your stinking parade, ANYWAY.

Yeah, President Xi is kinda rubbing Donnie's nose in the fact that NOBODY likes him now. Not Europe and not NATO. Not even the Americas, North, South or in between.

Oh, a handful of dictators do, but THEY are about as popular as poor Donnie is these days.

Javier Milei, the president of Argentina - you know, the guy who gave Elon Musk that oversized chain saw - just got pelted with rocks and bottles the other day at a campaign rally near Buenos Aires.

Like Trump, his primary focus is whatever "art of the deal" puts money in his pocket.

This past week, audio recordings were leaked of alleged bribes linked to the purchase of medicines for people with disabilities. In them, Diego Spagnuolo, head of the National Disability Agency and a former Milei lawyer, claimed that Milei’s powerful sister, Karina Milei, was getting 3% from each contract.

On Wednesday, Milei and his sister were riding in the back of a pickup truck to a campaign stop when protesters began throwing rocks and bottles at their vehicle. They fled.

But soon after, Milei posted a photo showing a stone flying just above his head, with the words: “CIVILISATION OR BARBARISM... NEVER AGAIN"

SO Trumpian. Too bad he didn't have an injured ear to show for it.
