Sweaty Trump PANICS, has NO IDEA what to do now
While the economy is in turmoil and markets are collapsing, Trump appears detached—spending the weekend golfing and giving a chaotic, confused press briefing on Air Force One. He made incoherent claims about trade deficits, tariffs, and international negotiations, demonstrating a deep misunderstanding of basic economic concepts. Trump’s chaos-driven leadership style fosters fear and confusion, allowing him to position himself as the solution to problems he helped create.
Elon TURNS on Trump, wants "ZERO TARIFFS"
Elon Musk, once praised by MAGA supporters, is now calling for zero tariffs, open borders, and greater freedom of movement between Europe and North America—positions that directly contradict Donald Trump’s protectionist agenda. This shift highlights a growing rift between Musk and Trump, especially as Trump doubles down on damaging tariffs and grows irritated with Musk’s political involvement.

DISASTER: JD Vance admits prices are GOING UP
In a recent Fox News appearance, Vice President J.D. Vance claimed that Trump’s tariffs are fighting inflation, even while admitting they will raise prices. Such rhetoric distorts reality, promoting economic policies that harm consumers while insisting they help. This deliberate manipulation is a modern authoritarian tactic aimed at overwhelming the public until truth becomes meaningless.
From over the weekend:
WOW: Joe Rogan POUNDS Trump over deportations
Joe Rogan criticized the Trump administration’s deportation policies on his podcast, highlighting the case of a gay barber wrongly deported to a violent Salvadoran prison. While Rogan called it a human rights nightmare, he supported Trump despite knowing these policies were being planned. While Rogan deserves credit for speaking out, he’s also partially responsible for supporting the political movement that created this crisis.
