Trump SHOCK: "Bloated, fat, disgusting"

In a cabinet meeting, Trump called the country "bloated, fat, and disgusting" after a religious prayer. He and Elon Musk backed firing federal employees who didn’t respond to a job justification email, despite advice against it from the heads of many government agencies. When asked about protecting Medicare and Social Security, Trump avoided a direct commitment and focused on rooting out fraud as a pretext for cuts.

ELON TAKES OVER at Trump cabinet meeting

Elon Musk led a cabinet meeting, appearing with a childlike demeanor and making nonsensical comments. He acknowledged mistakes with his DOGE cuts, such as briefly halting Ebola prevention efforts, but emphasized their quick restoration. This chaotic environment reflects Musk's business style, highlighting concerns about government operations under his influence.

CIVIL WAR: The Trump MAGA meltdown has begun

The Republican Party is in chaos as the battle between MAGA and traditional conservatives escalates. House and Senate Republicans are divided over the budget, with Trump flip-flopping between factions. State-level fractures are emerging, and even fringe movements like "MAGA Communism" highlight the party’s desperation. With donors pulling support and moderates walking away, the GOP’s internal war threatens its future.

Consumer confidence under Trump COLLAPSES, lowest in 4 years

Consumer confidence has dropped sharply, with rising inflation expectations and concerns about an economic slowdown under Trump. The economy does best with minimal interference, but tariffs and tax cuts could create instability. Many Americans already struggle financially, and upcoming data on unemployment and GDP will be key to assessing the economy’s direction.
