You’re fired. Wait, oops, you’re rehired. All funds are frozen! Oof, that was unpopular, okay, we’ll rescind it for now. Tariffs! Oh wait, no, not for a month. Tariffs again! Ouch, that stock market response! Okay maybe not for cars, not for the next month, okay? okay.

What an incredibly incompetent clown. Maybe he should have thought about the (patently obvious) effect of tariffs on the auto industry before imposing them? He’s like a monkey on a keyboard.

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

In the last 10 days, President Trump: -Appeared at a conference funded by Saudi Arabia, which invested $2 billion in Jared Kushner's firm -Met in the Oval Office to push a PGA/LIV Golf deal that could benefit him -Allowed the richest man in the world to run a Cabinet meeting

The Oval Office has long been a symbol of American leadership, diplomacy, and decorum—a space where world leaders engage in high-stakes discussions with mutual respect, even amid disagreement. Yesterday’s debacle shattered that image.

Once again, it was not a mistake by Kamala Harris to stand together with Liz Cheney in the 2024 election. It's neither Harris' nor Cheney's nor the Democrats fault that the entire rest of the GOP has collapsed into far right authoritarianism & the Romneys & Murkowskis & GWBs are cowards.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

A strong, independent media is essential in a free society. However, the oligarch controlled media is not going to protect us. The billionaires sitting on stage with Trump are not victims. They will profit from his lies and cannot be trusted to safeguard democracy.

United States support for Ukraine was never about securing mineral rights. Or providing security for money. It was about democracy and sovereignty. And a willingness to defend our allies and oppose our enemies. Trump is betraying Ukraine, but also our values. Our history and our legacy.
