Trump’s brain REBOOTS when Canadian PM says NO to his face
Donald Trump welcomed new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to the Oval Office, and the meeting quickly exposed a clear gap in competence. Carney pushed back on Trump’s odd suggestion that Canada could be the 51st state, saying it was “not for sale.” Trump rambled about trade, bizarrely claimed credit for Carney’s win, and said he just wanted Canada “to be his friend.”
Trump’s brain MUSH, calls mobile phones “MACHINES”
While speaking to reporters at a World Cup event, Donald Trump called phones “machines,” got confused about Russia being banned from the event, and blamed Barack Obama and Justin Trudeau for millions of deaths. He dodged a question about Israel by complaining it was read off a phone. The exchange was a jumble of confusion, false claims, and incoherent logic.

Fox News SHAKEN as Trump’s poll numbers PLUMMET
Trump's approval ratings are falling sharply, even among rural voters, and Fox News polls reflect the decline. This has triggered panic within Fox, as it struggles between reporting reality and maintaining loyalty to its MAGA audience. Some hosts are downplaying or denying the data, but economic pain from Trump's policies is becoming harder to spin.
From yesterday’s show:
China is IGNORING TRUMP, and it’s KILLING HIM
Trump's trade strategy with China was based on the false belief that China would cave quickly. In reality, China made no serious moves to negotiate and is better positioned to endure the conflict. The tariffs have hurt U.S. consumers and businesses more than China. This has revealed Trump’s shortsightedness and the deeper economic weaknesses in the U.S. approach.
