The fake author of The Art of the Deal made a clusterfuck of the US economy just to pause the Chinese tariffs he was allegedly using to negotiate... for nothing in return. Or was trying to onshore jobs/manufacturing? Either way, none of that is happening. Worst deal maker in history. 😂

If you're coughing and it sounds phlegmy but you're not wearing a mask in a crowded room, I am going to judge you. 😷

Here's one for @butterflyguy99.bsky.social

Trump hired several corporate lobbyists — including Pam Bondi and Sean Duffy — to run his second administration. Now their former firms and clients — including Amazon and pipeline giant Enterprise Products — are lobbying their offices. "Drain the swamp."

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

🙋‍♀️ I know, I know.

Trump has 40% of his net worth in crypto while regulating the industry. That's the most staggering presidential conflict in modern history. Read Norm Eisen's latest Publisher's note, highlighting the cracks in the crypto scheme.

The WSJ editorial board just stabbed Caesar in broad daylight. Sic semper stultis.

Now that manufacturing has all relocated from China to the US, it makes perfect sense to drastically reduce the tariffs. Huzzah!

So let me get this straight… Trump and China are now cutting most of the tariffs they’ve imposed during the Trump-initiated Trade War for 90 days to come up with a lasting deal because, it turns out, tariffs are really stupid and awful for both economies? As everyone with a brain knew? Moron.

He embarrassed himself—and all of us—and got _nothing_ in return. And we’re _still_ going to experience shortages and price increases this summer. To which CNN has now responded by... ...praising this asshole and his whole political team. I would say “unbelievable,” but it’s all too believable.

Accepting a private jumbo-jet from a foreign nation is a clear violation of our Constitution, which plainly prohibits U.S. officials from accepting gifts from foreign governments.

Just realized *we broke everything that was working so now you have to let us do a complete overhaul* is The Process, they're doing The Process but for crashing airplanes instead of losing basketball games

Trump’s incoherent communication and refusal to stick to diplomatic language has caused a lot of confusion in India over the last three days. "I think we stopped a nuclear conflict," Trump said today. 1/3

Trump' returns his $400,000 salary while spending $151 million of taxpayer money on golf trips and planning a $45 million birthday parade. Meanwhile, his properties charged the Secret Service $1,185 per night 5 times the government rate totaling over $1.4 million. Such fiscal responsibility!

Art of the deal.

If members of the WH Press Corp don’t ask this question RELENTLESSLY they should turn in their badges.

Let’s not give the arsonist credit for sprinkling some water on the fire he started.

Me thinks King Donold, aka Agent Krasnov, is getting afraid of the upcoming 2026 Mid-Term elections. We shall see if he can keep his “progressive” proclamations” going. I’m thinking NOT.

It is astonishing how much casual sexual assault is in old comedies.

Sean Duffy be like

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So, when the refugees are white, the government charters planes to bring them in, and when they're not, the government charters planes to ship them out. White privilege is both fake and official US government policy. 🤷‍♂️

⚡️ A dispatch just in from the Ministry of Truth

Friendly reminder to all GOP officials and voters: The President of the United States is a temp job. As such, Executive Orders do not supercede the Constitution. It's that simple.

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

this guy is out here proudly being a eugenicist freak while people at mainstream and "respectable publications" make excuses for him or even muse about whether he has a "few good points"

Why? There is no emergency. Trump clams border crossings are down. This is an assault on America.

One day I hope we'll look back and wonder what the fuck happened to America at this moment and marvel at how it came back to its senses. Or we won't. But this is up to Americans.

Does a shrinking GDP make us great again?
