I’m so sick & fucking tired of watching videos of Trump colon-dwelling sycophants lying about whatever the fuck, while the droopy-faced fuckmuppet is fast asleep below them, slouched in his fucking chair. What a fucking clown show. Please make it stop.
Trump says judge who blocked his ballroom will be responsible for ‘Death and Destruction’ if there is an attack on DC #DonaldTrump#LaraTrump

BREAKING: Trump says China’s President Xi asked him whether the United States would defend Taiwan if China invaded.
Trump says he responded: “I don’t talk about that.”
That answer should alarm every American.
Taiwan is not just another island in a geopolitical dispute. It is the beating heart of the global AI industry.
Nearly every advanced AI chip powering companies like NVIDIA, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon depends heavily on Taiwan’s semiconductor manufacturing.
If China were to seize Taiwan:
• The global AI industry could face catastrophic disruption.
• Advanced chip production could collapse overnight.
• America’s AI leadership could stall for years.
• GPU shortages could cripple everything from AI research to national defense systems.
• The U.S. economy could suffer one of the largest technological shocks in modern history.
Trump clearly sold out Taiwan.
When asked on Air Force One on the way back from China whether the U.S. would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion, Trump replied: “I don’t want to say. That question was asked to me today by President Xi. I said, ‘I don’t talk about it.’”
Trump also said, “On Taiwan, President Xi feels very strongly about it.”
It’s clear China got the green light to move ahead, especially now that the U.S. is bogged down in the Iran war.
Under Trump, our allies can’t trust us, and our adversaries don’t fear us.
BREAKING: HELL YES! Trump gets hit with a massive lawsuit over his hideous "renovations" to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.
This is what he cares most about in the entire world...
“A blue-tinted basin is more appropriate to a resort or theme park,” stated Charles A. Birnbaum, head of the Cultural Landscape Foundation, which is bringing the suit.
“The Reflecting Pool should not be viewed in isolation; it is part of the larger ensemble of designed landscapes that comprise the National Mall," said Birnbaum. "The design intent, to create a reflective surface that is subordinate, is fundamental to the solemn and hallowed visual and spatial connection between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial."
Trump wants to slap an "American flag blue" coating on the iconic installation, giving it a tacky swimming pool aesthetic better suited to one of his failed Atlantic City casinos than a national monument. For a man obsessed with buildings and renovations, it's genuinely remarkable that he's never managed to cultivate so much as an ounce of good taste.
The suit, which has been filed in federal district court in D.C., seeks an emergency intervention to stop Trump's destructive project. It argues that under the National Historic Preservation Act, Trump was required to conduct proper consultations before making any changes. Similarly, the renovations violate the National Environmental Policy Act.
The best part of this lawsuit is how it's guaranteed to enrage Trump. As his illegal Iran War drags on pointlessly and the American economy is reduced to ashes, he has become more and more fixated on his White House ballroom and the Reflecting Pool renovations. Faced with the total collapse of his presidency, he's retreating into vanity projects. Now is the time to strip those away from him too!
Please ❤️ and share if you support the lawsuit!
🚨 WOW! President Trump just had King Charles WITNESS an INCREDIBLE show of strength in a U.S. jet flyover above the White House
Never gets old 🔥🇬🇧🇺🇸
Greatest and strongest in world history!
Lindsey Graham says they are going introduce legislation that’s going to authorize 400 million dollars to be spent on building the ballroom: We pay for it by offsetting it with customs fees. The sooner we get the ballroom built, the better it is for the country.
#TrumpIs Bragging he didn't spend $298 Million to clean/repair the Lincoln Reflecting Pool - Who in their right mind proposed that - or a $400 Million Ballroom
🚨 President Trump just dropped this gem!
Trump saved America $298 MILLION on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool:
The historic pool, where MLK gave his “I Have a Dream” speech, was a leaking, filthy disaster.
Government bureaucrats wanted $300 MILLION and 3+ years to rip it up.
Trump said hell no.
Called in real pool experts, scrubbed the original granite, sealed it, and topped it with American Flag Blue industrial coating.
✅ $1.5–2 MILLION
✅ Done in 2 weeks
✅ Will last 40–50 years and look better than 1922
This is how you run government like a business.
Promises kept! Taxpayer dollars saved!

🚨 JUST NOW: President Trump is classifying the White House ballroom is a MILITARY imperative project, declaring a judge CANNOT be allowed stop construction
GOOD!
"One with Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital and Medical Facilities, Protective Partitioning, Top Secret Military Installations, Structures, and Equipment, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Columns, Roofs, and Beams, Drone Proof Ceilings and Roofs, Military Grade Venting, and Bullet, Ballistic, and Blast Proof Glass —which all means that no future President, living in the White House without this Ballroom, can ever be Safe and Secure at Events, Future Inaugurations, or Global Summits."
"This Magnificent Space will allow them to carry out their vital duties as the Leader of our Nation."
"Furthermore, the Ballroom, which is being constructed on budget and ahead of schedule, is needed now. Almost all material necessary for its construction is being built and/or on its way to the site, ready for installation and erection."
"Much of it has already been paid for, costing Hundreds of Millions of Dollars. If somebody, especially one with no standing, had a complaint — Why wasn’t it filed many months earlier, long before Construction was started?"
"The Public Record was open for all to see. Everybody knew that it was planned, and going to be built. This highly political Judge, and his illegal overreach, is out of control, and costing our Nation greatly. This is a mockery to our Court System!"
"The Ballroom is deeply important to our National Security, and no Judge can be allowed to stop this Historic and Militarily Imperative Project."

#TrumpIs Not Aware of the Iranian Death Toll so far in his "Excursion" and could care less how many more Iranians die - It's all measured in dollars and barrels
JUST IN: New video shows crowds locking arms around Iranian power plants, creating HUMAN SHIELDS – a striking scene as Trump's 8p.m. deadline for the Islamic Republic nears.
Iran has rejected the latest terms, raising the stakes with just hours to go.
So, if I got that right, here's the narrative:
- A US F-15E fighter jet got shot down over Iran, despite Trump saying 2 days beforehand in his nationwide address that Iran has "no anti-aircraft equipment. Their radar is 100% annihilated." (https://t.co/3pnVUGxHyV)
- The plane's weapons systems officer - a "highly respected Colonel," according to Trump - ejected from the plane and got "seriously wounded" (still according to Trump: https://t.co/jUbGiGk9uM)
- He still managed to "hike up a 7,000-foot [2.1km] mountain ridgeline and hide in a crevice" in the Zagros Mountains, despite his wounds (https://t.co/ECTqgUFOZ3)
- U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones started killing all "Iranian military-aged males believed to be a threat who got within three kilometers of [the American's location]" (https://t.co/86aZgrsXGT)
- To retrieve him the U.S. managed to seize an "abandoned airport," 200 miles deep inside Iran, near Isfahan (https://t.co/rOpRm3mqt9), which happens to be where Iran's largest atomic scientific center is located (https://t.co/jQfmg4zI8t)
- They landed two MC-130 military transport planes in that airport (https://t.co/k0mU0wqnvU) in an operation involving "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" (https://t.co/ECTqgUFOZ3)
- Both MC-130 planes got "stuck in the sand" and the U.S. destroyed them themselves "to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands" (https://t.co/k0mU0wqnvU)
- They deployed "three new aircraft to extract all the U.S. personnel" on the ground (https://t.co/k0mU0wqnvU)
- There are videos circulating online of "heavy clashes" with presumably Iranian missiles raining down in Kohgiluyeh County, in the Zagros Mountains during that night (https://t.co/VCeTzcC1vt)
- Iran sent pictures of the aftermath at the "abandoned airport" and it's a sight of utter destruction, with US plane and MH-6 helicopter parts scattered all over the ground, still smoking (https://t.co/mDpYT9qsKC). Iran claims they are the ones who in fact destroyed all the aircraft.
- Meanwhile a second U.S. plane, an A-10 Warthog, also crashed on Friday near the Strait of Hormuz according to two U.S. officials speaking to the NYT (https://t.co/lFs4zERw2t). In that instance too the lone pilot was apparently "safely rescued."
- In all this, after the multiple planes and helicopters destroyed or shot down, the documented heavy clashes, the "hundreds of special forces troops and military personnel" operating deep inside Iran, not a single US soldier was reported killed "or even wounded" (according to Trump: https://t.co/rCgrl6vMpT).
- And the 'highly respected Colonel' this was all for? No name. No photo. No interview. Nobody has spoken to him nor knows who he is.
So to sum up: anti-aircraft equipment that supposedly didn't exist shot down an F-15 (and, apparently, an A-10 Warthog the same day). A seriously wounded man climbed a 2.1km mountain. The US seized an airfield 200 miles inside a country it's at war with, next to one of its most strategic nuclear sites, and deployed hundreds of troops all apparently unimpeded. Lost two planes to "sand" and destroyed their own helicopters. Videos show heavy clashes, missiles raining down - but not a single person got "even wounded". And the man at the center of it all? Nobody knows who he is, completely anonymous, zero pictures, but Trump says he is "SAFE and SOUND." And so is the rescued A-10 Warthog pilot, who also remains anonymous.
Trump concludes this all proves the US has "achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies" (https://t.co/rCgrl6vMpT), despite the whole episode only happening because Iran shot his planes out of the sky.
Basically, the only thing that's "overwhelming" here is the audacity of the storytelling...
