Trump challenges journalists to cognitive test in NUTTY interview
In a written Time interview, Trump made confusing claims, like having made 200 international trade deals without offering any evidence. He suggested sending U.S. criminals to El Salvador, despite it being illegal. He hinted at seeking a third term through vague loopholes and bragged about a cognitive test. These statements reflect a pattern of exaggeration, legal ambiguity, and self-promotion.
Trump DESTROYS Canadian right-wing, SECURES liberal victory!
Donald Trump's aggressive rhetoric toward Canada, including threats of annexation and trade wars, sparked a major backlash among Canadian voters. This backlash undermined Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who was seen as a Trump ally, costing him not just the election but his own seat. In contrast, Mark Carney, a steady alternative to Trump-style politics, rode the anti-MAGA wave to become Canada's new prime minister.
From yesterday’s show:
WOW: Trump CONFRONTED about "two weeks" promises
Donald Trump was recently confronted with a question about his repeated "two weeks" promises, exposing his lack of actual plans on issues like health care, immigration, and foreign policy. His long-standing strategy of making bold claims with fake deadlines and then shifting blame when nothing materializes continues to unravel as his credibility among the American public erodes.
From yesterday’s show:
HISTORICALLY UNPOPULAR Trump lowest approval in 80 years!
Donald Trump has hit a historic low in his second-term approval ratings, with a new ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll showing just 39% approval and 55% disapproval—the worst for any U.S. president in the last 80 years. Unlike most presidents who benefit from a post-election "honeymoon period," Trump’s return to office has been marked by mounting economic anxiety, escalating legal turmoil, and deepening public distrust.

Thought I had become a member, but just subscribed to substack. Lol. Too bad the relationship between humans and computers is fully hostile.
Who is going to do an ethics probe of Trump!!!! Foxes in the hen house? He fired all the inspectors general whose jobs it is to do that. DoJ now pursuing anyone who speaks ill of him and now working on the courts and any lawyers who crossed him. His use of his commercial social media and pushing meme/kletocurrency while in office is wrong. He makes money off his golfing side job charging the secret service for accommodations.
