Trump ABANDONS key campaign promise, HE MADE IT ALL UP
Donald Trump’s promise to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours quickly shifted to a 100-day goal after realizing the complexity of the situation. His team suggests a strategy involving delayed NATO membership for Ukraine, potentially favoring Russia. European allies are concerned about the lack of a clear plan, as Trump continues to shift timelines and make unfulfilled promises.
Multi-millionaire STUNS doofus MSNBC panel
Scott Galloway criticized U.S. tax policy on MSNBC, calling it oligarchic and advocating for higher taxes on the super-rich. He argued that wealth beyond a certain point doesn't increase happiness and that tax cuts for low-income families would have a greater economic impact. He argued that demand-side economic stimulus, benefiting lower-income households, is more effective than trickle-down approaches.

The shift is expected to fuel misinformation and solidify the platform’s role as a propaganda tool for Trump.
