So let me get this straight.
Jake Tapper is focused on attacking my Mom.
Jared and Ivanka are building a private island paradise on Albanian protected land.
Don Jr married the daughter of Epstein’s banker, and a startup his fund backs just got a record $620M Pentagon loan.
Eric is taking an Israeli drone company public for $1.5B in the middle of a war with Iran that nobody wanted.
And I know: “But what about your paintings, Hunter?”
Please.
Pulte’s lack of qualifications isn’t the whole story. Since when have qualifications mattered for anyone in the cabinet? This is about election security. Trump needs a MAGA loyalist who will say our elections aren’t secure so he can try to do whatever he wants to the midterms.
Consumer sentiment sinks to all-time low, with Americans feeling worse now than they did during wars, 9/11, the Great Recession and Covid-19 pandemic. https://t.co/1rxZPRGmZJ
This level of corruption by any other president would be a massive scandal leading every news show and on the front page of every paper but we’ve been so conditioned to the grift for decades by this conman that it sadly just feels like business as usual. Americans deserve better.
BEHIND THE CURTAIN: TRUMP'S UNPRECEDENTED PROFIT AND PROTECTION
🗳️ Imagine America put these questions to a public referendum:
1. Presidents and their family members, unlike other U.S. citizens, shall be granted lifetime immunity from federal audits and criminal investigations of their past tax returns.
2. Presidents and their family members can maintain active ownership of global business empires, profiting when government decisions directly benefit those specific businesses.
3. Presidents, while in office, can maintain massive personal crypto and stock portfolios that buy and sell hundreds of millions of dollars in industries directly regulated by their own administration.
How would you vote?
It's hard to imagine more than single-digit support for any of these. Yet Trump is doing all three and paving the way for future presidents to do the same. https://t.co/5bmmC0FDhZ
If Joe Biden said Hunter or Beau were people he’s “known for a long time,” can you imagine the media frenzy? Of course Donald Trump says it and it’ll be a blip
Reporter: Are you attending your son’s wedding?
Trump: He’d like me to go. I’m going to try. I said, this is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things. He’s a person I’ve known for a long time.
I don’t think Donald Trump is smart enough to know he’s created a situation where nothing will get done in the senate for five months, and then he’s likely to have at least a democratic house majority come January. He may have effectively ended his own presidency after yesterday.
Indiana GOP — decimated
Cassidy — out
Cornyn — likely out
Massie — gone
VRA — gutted
Virginia map — struck
Incredible few weeks for Trump’s political operation.
Indiana, Louisiana, Kentucky. The talking heads will over index these primary results as evidence of Trump’s popularity. All this shows is he still owns MAGA faithful in red states. Wow groundbreaking. Put these folks in a general with vast majority of Americans, different story.
A mind-blowing-but-true fact about Trump's stock trading.
Trump traded up to ~$700 million in stock in Q1 of 2026.
The 535 Members of Congress made ~$635 million in trades in 2025.
Trump bought and sold more stock in 3 months than all of Congress put together did in a year.
