COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.

There is no close second in our history.

The Trump administration has scrapped all protections for a critically endangered whale species known as the Rice's whale, allowing oil and gas drilling in their natural habitat.

The regulatory meeting dooming the 50 remaining Rice's whales lasted just 15 minutes.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

The president is negotiating against his own administration to shake down taxpayers for $10 billion.

The corruption meter is flashing red and sounding the alarm.

Go against the White House, get labeled a domestic terrorist.

Even if you are Tucker Carlson.

Doesn’t sound authoritarian at all to me….

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

Deny Ukraine membership in NATO, cut aid to Ukraine, promise Putin Donbas, praise Putin after he helps Iran, and now consider pulling troops out of Germany. How many gifts can Trump give Putin?

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

His name is now on some federal buildings, his signature will soon be on the dollar bill, his face will be on coins and national park passes. And now Trump is putting his own picture on US passports. https://t.co/Uv9zwJDXzC

The United States is on track for an unprecedented level of militarization since the Vietnam War. The signs that the US is preparing for global war are numerous and highly disturbing:

1) The Pentagon has been holding talks with executives from companies like GM, Ford, GE Aerospace, and Oshkosh about using their factory capacity and personnel to boost production of munitions, drones, and other military equipment. Defense Secretary Hegseth has framed this as putting manufacturing on a "wartime footing."

2) In December, eligible men ages 18 to 26 will be automatically registered for the Selective Service draft pool, a change included in the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act that Trump signed in December 2025. The Trump administration has refused to rule out reinstating the draft.

3) The administration is requesting $1.5 trillion for defense in fiscal year 2027. The first time base budget defense spending has hit the $1 trillion mark, representing a 28% increase. The OMB director described this as necessary for "paradigm-shifting investments" to allow the industrial base to "double and triple capabilities."

4) Trump signed an executive order renaming the Department of Defense with the secondary title "Department of War," and Hegseth personally replaced the signage at the Pentagon.

5) The Pentagon released an updated policy in March reframing veterans in the Individual Ready Reserve from a last resort to a "mobilization asset," stating that deliberate plans should account for IRR use, "especially in plans for full mobilization." Task & Purpose Congress also directed the military to conduct a 21st-century mass mobilization exercise. The first since a 1978 Cold War exercise.

The Trump mania for wars, which started with Venezuela, continued through Iran and will likely target Cuba next, is now beginning the gear up for World War 3. The enemy picked out is clear. China.

@QaanitahHunter Ughh, he has too much time on his hands. He should perhaps focus on the US and the BS happening there.

Israeli military spokespeople are claiming one of the senior Lebanese journalists killed in a drone strike today was ‘an aggressor, a threatener, an instigator, and a provocateur’. Leb President has pointed out disagreements with journos do not justify assassinating them under int laws

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the dramatic circumstances of war, information must guard against the risk of turning into propaganda. It is every journalist's duty to verify the news, so as not to become a megaphone for power. They must show the suffering that war always brings to populations, which entails showing the face of war and recounting it through the eyes of victims.

Oh, so now he needs the allies he’s been shitting on since day one.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Unreal... The man literally breaks the global energy supply, directly affecting the lives of billions of people and then is like "wait, should we even be there? It's not our problem after all."

The level of thoughtlessness and hubris is genuinely off the charts.

[Tom Bateman @tombateman]

Governments threatening journalists in wartime is not new, but in the country that wrote the First Amendment it’s pretty depressing.
