TRUMP ATTACKS...HIMSELF?! Trump says he is directing the federal government to remove Canadian-made products from government purchasing programs unless Canada changes its trade policies toward American farmers and companies.
Trump claims Canada has been “ripping us off for years” and called the current arrangement a “Canadian Trade Scam.”
Notably, Trump himself signed the current U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement during his first term.
Carney: "For the past year and a half, we've been steering our economy towards trusted partners. We've signed 20 trade and defence agreements across four different continents. And these are more than deals, they're agreements. Deals privilege the few, agreements benefit the many."
The Russians did not allow the American delegation to arrive by plane, even though our airports were ready – Zelenskyy.
And ever since Trump has been ruling in Washington as the most ridiculous US president, Americans have been obeying orders from Moscow.
How many companies Trump incorporated during his first term: 4
How many companies Trump has already incorporated during his second term: 34
How many companies a sitting president *should* incorporate: 0 https://t.co/kOeUzuVJvg
Most American have zero interest in the US government treating one of our most important historical allies and trading partners like this. But the worst among us is running the country, thanks to the worst and most irresponsible voters among us.
Here’s a list of Scott Bessent’s wrong predictions and/or promises that didn’t happen:
February 5, 2025: Long-term interest rates would come down as Trump’s economic policies took effect.
Spring 2025: The federal deficit would move toward 3% of GDP.
Spring 2025: Trump’s policies would produce roughly 3% sustained real GDP growth.
July 8, 2025: The U.S. would collect well over $300 billion in tariff revenue in 2025.
September 1, 2025: The Supreme Court would uphold Trump’s emergency tariffs.
September 7, 2025: The economy would see a “substantial acceleration” in Q4 2025.
December 7–16, 2025: 2025 would finish with 3% to 3.5% real GDP growth.
December 16, 2025: Inflation would see a substantial drop in the first six months of 2026.
February 20, 2026: The economy could grow at least 3.5% in 2026.
April 14, 2026: 2026 GDP growth could easily exceed 3% or 3.5%.
April 14, 2026: Core inflation was falling and the Federal Reserve would need to cut interest rates.
April 14, 2026: Trump’s tariffs could be restored to their previous levels by the beginning of July.
June 2026: Again maintained that 2026 growth could reach roughly 3% to 3.5%.
2025–26: Lower energy prices, fiscal restraint and Trump’s policies would bring down long-term Treasury yields.
2025–26: Faster growth and tariff revenue would materially improve the federal deficit.
And now we get to track this one:
September 5, 2026: Oil could eventually fall to $40–$50 per barrel after the Iran war ends. The economy is now “in the liftoff phase.”
The most dangerous person is the moron who thinks he knows everything with the ability to wreck the fortunes of a country and harm its people. We’ve had many bad presidents, but there was just nobody close to this bad.
The 75 Most Corrupt Things Trump Did in 2026. So far. The scams, schemes and grifts have been endless, as the Trump Family seems to spend most of their time and energy finding new ways to profit off the presidency. Here is my Top 75. https://t.co/WMXj13XLgy
🚨 WATCH: After a decade of telling us Britain needed to leave the EU to “take back control” of immigration, Farage finally admits we can only tackle cross-border migration by working with Europe. 🤡
Welcome back to Europe, Nigel. 🇪🇺
Kids are back in school. Colder weather is coming. And the grifters and grandstanders are louder than ever.
What’s missing is the one thing families actually need: clear, credible health guidance.
Here’s what you need to know to keep your family safe this fall.
The U.S. got great jobs numbers this morning and the President posted through it in such an absolutely bonkers way that I'm actually now MORE worried about our economic future.
(See my earlier posts if you need the deets.)
NEWS: Status is reporting Fox fired Maria Bartiromo after she leaked internal texts to the White House showing the network had told staff to stop amplifying Trump's latest election conspiracy theories. Trump has so thoroughly captured the right-wing media ecosystem that its biggest stars now see themselves as his informants first and journalists never.
Ben Meiselas on the Netherlands moving billions in gold out of the U.S.:
"This move follows senior officials from the Netherlands warning that gold is no longer safe in Donald Trump's hands, which prompted the Netherlands to immediately begin removing its gold from the US because Trump is a freaking deranged gold hoarder that countries that were once allied with us are afraid he's going to steal their gold."
