It’s been a terrible Saturday for the president. He insulted the people who drove out to see him in Tennessee, saying the love in the room is so strong he could say the stupidest things and still get applause. The pope used his platform to rebuke Pete Hegseth over the plan to let the public watch a firing squad. Republicans in Congress spent the day revolting against his diesel deal with Vladimir Putin, and one is already drafting legislation to kill it. And another leak caught his ambassador to Greece raging about being left off a Trump family guest list. There are 24 days until the midterms.

Russian tanker full of diesel has already reached the U.S. east coast
This is only possible if the tanker had left 2-3 weeks ago
Trump announced the deal yesterday but it was actually made 3 weeks ago
Thanks for playing
Up until 10 years ago, such brazen racism would have ended the career of even the most rightwing politician.
Today you can be president. We are in a very dark place as a country.
The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.
Under Trump, this country has become a shithole.
Our government is corrupt.
It inflicts needless pain and suffering on the very people it's supposed to protect.
Laws don't apply to them.
Money is all that matters.
Judge Loren AliKhan gave Trump’s lawyers until today to answer for TV ads stamped “Paid for by the U.S. Government.” On Thursday, she holds a hearing on pulling them off the air. https://t.co/YrGrJYLUWr
President Trump complained at length tonight that he hasn't been given the Nobel Peace Prize for having "settled eight wars," then recited a list of supposed wars settled that includes...
- "Egypt and Ethiopia" (who had a diplomatic dispute, not a war)
- "Kosovo and Serbia" (who also weren't at war under Trump)
- "The Democrat(ic) Republic of the Congo and Rwanda" (the war in the eastern DRC never ended despite a peace deal brokered by his administration that didn't include the rebel coalition doing the fighting)
- "Israel and Iran" last year (Israel went back to war with Iran this year along with the Trump-led US)
- "Israel and Hamas" (Israel continues to conduct frequent attacks in Gaza despite a ceasefire)
Trump also claimed he's "about to settle or win" the war with Iran, the one he started, and also "Russia-Ukraine," though he'd repeatedly promised to end that one within 24 hours of taking office in 2025.
