DESPERATE Trump suddenly proposes MORE CRIMES
At a recent cabinet meeting, Donald Trump suggested using the Insurrection Act to send troops to the border, a move that legal experts deem illegal and authoritarian. He also downplayed the potential economic impact of tariffs. In a chilling moment, Trump justified ignoring court orders from judges he deemed "radical left," showcasing a complete disregard for the rule of law.
White House Press Secy: TRUST TRUMP like he’s GOD
At a White House briefing, Karoline Leavitt urged Americans to "trust in President Trump" amid the economic downturn. She condemned Amazon's plan to show how Trump's tariffs impact prices, calling it a "hostile and political act." Leavitt also criticized Amazon's ties to Chinese propaganda, pushing for Americans to buy American products.
From yesterday’s show:
PSYCHOTIC BREAK happens RIGHT in front of Trump! (But he loves it)
At a recent cabinet meeting, Trump’s officials engaged in extreme flattery, with Pam Bondi falsely claiming his actions saved 258 million lives from fentanyl. Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance used the event to attack the judiciary and media, and RFK Jr. pushed misleading claims about fluoride lowering IQ. The meeting became a stage for sycophantic praise instead of real policy discussion.
From yesterday’s show:
Trump ADMITS he will blame the recession on BIDEN
Donald Trump is blaming Joe Biden for a possible Q2 recession, despite being president the entire quarter. He's claiming the bad economy is still Biden’s fault while promising future success. This is a calculated effort to deflect accountability if the economy falters—and a hallmark of Trump’s approach: claim the credit when things go well, shift the blame when they don’t.
