Trump CRUMBLES, calls terrorists “brave”

President Trump praised the Houthis for their "bravery," despite the group’s attacks on U.S. troops and ships. He said they showed resilience and honored their word. The Houthis are a U.S.-designated terrorist group actively targeting American interests. The statement marks another instance of Trump admiring those who display force, even when hostile to the U.S.

Trump SHOCK new policy: LESS STUFF for everyone!

Donald Trump and his allies are promoting a new economic message: Americans should embrace higher prices and fewer goods as a form of patriotic sacrifice. This marks a sharp reversal from the traditional Republican promise of more goods at lower prices. The shift is being sold as economic nationalism but amounts to reduced living standards for working families.

DAMN: New Canadian Prime Minister CRUSHES Trump

Mark Carney had a strange Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump, who made inaccurate claims about trade and Canada. After the meeting, Carney publicly rejected Trump’s ideas, saying, “Canada’s not for sale.” He emphasized the difference between Trump’s wishes and reality. Carney made clear that Canada will never become part of the United States, leaving Trump dejected.

Trump official COLLAPSES when asked “who pays the tariffs?”

During a congressional hearing, Congressman Mark Pocan repeatedly asked Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent who pays tariffs, but Bessent dodged the question. Despite mounting pressure, he refused to admit the obvious: American consumers and businesses pay the cost of tariffs through higher prices. Bessent’s refusal to state this truth highlights the political loyalty required to uphold Trump’s false economic narrative.
