Trump disoriented by simple questions, FORGETS to swear in Tulsi

Donald Trump appeared disoriented while speaking to reporters, delivering a rambling speech on unrelated topics, including magnets lifting planes and government fraud. When asked about the Department of Education, he called it a "scam" and advocated for its immediate closure. At the end of the event, he abruptly left without swearing in Tulsi Gabbard, leaving her and others visibly confused.

Elon's son tells Trump "SHUT UP," "YOU'RE NOT THE PRESIDENT"

A video circulating online appears to show Elon Musk's son telling Donald Trump to "shut up" and "go away" while Trump sits hunched and dejected in the Oval Office. However, some suggest the child was actually speaking to a reporter off-camera rather than Trump himself. The clip has sparked debate, with some finding it hilarious and reflective of public sentiment toward Trump.

Trump DUMPS on JD Vance in softball interview gone wrong

Trump struggled with a softball Fox News interview, rambling incoherently when asked about inflation and tariffs. He dismissed JD Vance as his political successor, seemingly wary of ceding influence to his own vice president. On Gaza, he framed the conflict as a real estate deal, advocating for Palestinian expulsion without a right to return.

TRUMP INFLATION: Prices UP, higher than expected

Inflation is rising faster than expected, with food prices seeing their biggest jump since 2015. Despite Trump’s promises, markets are reacting negatively, and the Fed isn’t planning to lower interest rates. His economic plan mirrors his first-term policies—tax cuts for the wealthy and trade wars—that hurt the economy. With conditions worse than pre-COVID, economic struggles are likely to continue.
