Damascus has officially fallen. Bashar al-Assad, the former dictator of Syria, has officially fled to Russia where he was given asylum. Previously, Bashar al-Assad's family members had fled to Russia and elsewhere as the rebels were approaching Damascus. Is it just me or does Bashar al-Assad kind of give off very Trumpy vibes? So now that Bashar al-Assad's palaces are being raided by the rebels, for example, we're seeing his massive car collection, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, the extravagance of the wealth that Bashar al-Assad amassed at the expense of the people who he exploited. Should also be noted, this photograph of Bashar al-Assad from when he was younger was seized by the rebels at Assad's palace.

Take a look at this photo right here. Doesn't it remind you of this other photo of the draft dodging Donald Trump lying on his couch like that? Louis Vuitton trunks worth $50,000 all throughout these palaces that the rebels are finding. I mean, by the way, I mean, this photo right here of Bashar al-Assad with his benefactor, Vladimir Putin, gives me a lot of vibes of when Donald Trump and Putin met. Here are just some more photos of Donald Trump in his place of living. Donald Trump literally has golden toilet bowls. Donald Trump, who's spent his entire life attacking the United States of America, attacking our economy, praising our enemies. He lives in a rooms that are actually probably

fake gold, but golden rooms with golden toilet bowls. And he's acting like the real problem here are unions, which are trying to give people living wages. He sits on golden toilet bowls and then tries to tell people that the real issue here is that Democrats are causing it versus actual price gouging by Donald Trump's cronies, the exact same types of billionaires who Donald Trump's filled his entire cabinet with. If you're not a billionaire and you're in Donald Trump's cabinet, probably you have child sex trafficking allegations and or rape allegations against you. But I digress.

Syrian TV aired video announcing Bashar's fall. The rebels took to TV. They announced that it's over. He's gone. There's some pretty, all things considered, probably gallows humor, but some funny posts on social media like George Takai, who goes, I've seen enough. Bashar al-Assad will lose his seat and possibly his head to the insurgency. New York Times pitch bot, which mocks the New York Times headlines, goes, Bashar al-Assad's biggest mistake, not going on the Joe Rogan podcast. Bashar al-Assad to join Harvard's Institute of Politics. This is satirical. Rachel Vindman, Bashar, girlAssad to join Harvard's Institute of Politics. This is satirical.

Rachel Vindman. Bashar, girl, you in danger. New York Times Pitch Bot. Bashar al-Assad has learned his lesson by Susan Collins. Deepane. Rumor. Bashar al-Assad is living in Tulsi Gabbard's basement. More on that in a moment because, hey, Donald, you named as your director of national intelligence

an ally of Bashar al-Assad. Yes, Tulsi Gabbard, when she has her confirmation hearing, she's going to be asked, how was it that when Bashar al-Assad used nuclear weapons and chemical, threatened nuclear weapons, used chemical weapons rather than nuclear weapons, used chemical weapons rather, not nuclear weapons, used chemical weapons on his own people, which is, by the way, weapons of mass destruction on his own people. How is it that you, Tulsi Gabbard, went to Syria, met with him, and then said that the United States should do nothing, that the United States should support Bashar al-Assad? Here's another comment. This is from Miss Betty Bowers.

No one has seen Bashar al-Assad. Maybe he has a new show on MSNBC. Why was Bashar al-Assad deposed as the leader of Syria? Because he became too woke, Mr. Neuberger. Tulsi Gabbard searching the ocean for Bashar al-Assad could be Moana 3. T-Pain. searching the ocean for Bashar al-Assad could be Milana 3. Trump will have to reshuffle his cabinet since Bashar al-Assad is suddenly unavailable. Making it clear that someone on his cabinet, Tulsi Gabbard, who is appointing director of national intelligence, is like a close friend and ally of Bashar al-Assad, who has now fled. Also, the contrast between Bashar al-Assad fleeing versus President Zelensky staying in Ukraine,

I think that contrast is very stark. But when you go back and look at Bashar al-Assad, again, his history is very Trumpy as well. He was born into it, right? His father was the dictator. Not Trump's dad wasn't the dictator of America, but Bashar al-Assad's dad was the dictator. Hafez al-Assad. Take a look, for example. Here's Richard Nixon meeting with the al-Assad family back in 1974.

Bashar al-Assad's older brother was supposed to take over the family business, being dictators But his older brother died in a car accident, leaving all of this to Bashar al-Assad in the year 2000 Bashar al-Assad's wife, Asma, has been glamorized by all West-leading media, Western media, rather. And as Andy Wheatley says, as the brutal Assad regime has fallen, I recall how Vogue once profiled asthma, his British-born wife, as a rose in the desert. The regime's horrific brutality was already well-known

when Vogue wrote that in 2011, but the magazine still cozied up to her. Funnily enough, it's been deleted. How the sands of integrity shift so easily, which again reminds me that Western media, which has democracy, which is why Western media can exist, why Western media can thrive. But there's this obsession for strong men and authoritarians and glamorizing their lives when they take from we, the people. We see that with Trump as well. I'll get to the Melania side of this in a moment. This was the article. You see her right there, Asma. She was a British-born wife of Bashar al-Assad. They married in 2000. This was part of the issue. They would show photos of Bashar al-Assad with the kids. All of those Barron Trump clips were mysteriously leaked recently about the suitcase and this, and that.

More kind of glamorizing their wealth. They stay at five-star hotels and they drive all of these cars. And look how incredible and lavish their lifestyle is. Kind of reminds me of like when Vogue did this story right here on Melania. Exclusive. Vogue did this story right here on Melania exclusive. Donald Trump's new bride, the ring, the dress, the wedding, the jet, the party. Whoa, my God. They're so rich. Look at all the rich stuff that they have.

I mean, the minimum wage hasn't been lifted in, what, decades. But Melania's got a $100,000 dress. It's so amazing. Maybe, Vogue, you can just brag more about how wealthy they are while the people suffer maybe if you actually told people i know you're vogue so no you maybe if you told people what the issues actually were and this is more me going at corporate media here about how it is that the billionaires have sucked out all of the wealth for themselves. They're not happy enough with their one private jet. They've got to have tons of private jet, 15, 20, rather

than make sure that other Americans can afford housing. Okay. But yes, Melania went on Fox and she was asked by the Fox and Friends program, what's going to be her issue? What's she going to champion for the White House? And she said, I am selling $90 patriotic Christmas ornaments. Please buy them at MelaniaTrump.com. Seriously, I'm not going to play Melania videos. You know, I have a policy. I don't play their videos because their voices irritate me.

But if you want to go and watch it for yourself, you can Google it. But Google what she said, that she spent the time on Fox promoting her $90 ornaments. Here they are on her website, Melania Trump. American USA star ornaments. I mean, the grifters, they're stealing the symbols of we the people, the United States of America, to make $90. What's so interesting, too, is that the Fox host, like Lawrence Jones III, who is one of the people on Fox and Friends, like he goes, the proceeds are utilized to support college scholarships for children from impoverished families. Okay, I got a bridge I want to sell you, Lawrence.

It doesn't say that on Melania's website. So where is it saying that? Methinks it's a lie. Our editor-in-chief, Ron Filipkowski, writes, Assad is now in Moscow, the former dictator of Syria, so Tulsi can visit most of her friends by only visiting one city. Many people saying Tulsi Gabbard has been compromised by Vladimir Putin in Russia and before Bashar al-Assad. Tulsi Gabbard's previously posted over and over again pro-Russian propaganda talking points, pro-Bashar al-Assad

talking points. Let me just share this with you right here. You can see the statues falling right here within the various cities. This is a wannabe dictator like Donald Trump's worst nightmare when he sees that people just aren't going to take repression like that. So here's just an example of the Bashar al-Assad statutes being taken down. Play this clip.
