“HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN” the president says about a congressman who hasn’t been seen publicly in nearly three months, hasn’t voted since March 5, and has yet to tell his constituents where he is.

ICYMI — Hassett says people spending more on gas & groceries (because of Trump’s war and tariffs) is a sign people are optimistic about the future 🤔

Who wants to tell this out-of-touch muppet it’s because they can’t live without these things?

Follow the money on this one. It is rotten to the core.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old.

It had fewer than 50 employees.

And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it.

Here is the part the administration tried to bury.

Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast.

One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done.

Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion.

A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son.

This is public money. Your money.

Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for.

And there is more coming.

A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review.

This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

BOMBSHELL: Former DOJ official Anthony Coley says Pam Bondi held a meeting inside the White House Situation Room to pressure Republican lawmakers against supporting the Epstein files discharge petition.

Think about how extraordinary that allegation is.

The Situation Room is supposed to be associated with war, terrorism, national security crises, military operations.

It was used to coordinate political resistance against forcing the public release of Epstein-related files.

Coley’s point was simple:

Todd Blanche may now be taking the heat publicly…
but Bondi herself was allegedly directly involved behind the scenes trying to stop the pressure campaign from gaining momentum in Congress.

Trump: “I have a contractor that built my pools, did an Olympic pool at my clubs. He can do the reflecting pool for $1.3M in less than 2 weeks.”

*A no bid contract and 6 weeks later, the budget is now $13.4M

Trump: “I don’t know the contractor. Never used them before.”

🚨 Trump has pardoned Paul Walczak, who stole $10 million.

His mother paid $1 million to attend Mar-a-Lago just 3 weeks before the pardon.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

This is why Peter Thiel moved to Argentina.

He is largely responsible for everything we’re suffering, starting with collaborating with Jeffrey Epstein and the Russians to get Trump elected the first time.

He is paranoid, sadistic psychopath—and he knows people are on to him.

Allow me to be the first to congratulate the MAGA morons, who spent years howling about the $1.7B that Obama returned to Iran.

Your 4D chess master is handing Iran $300B, to open the Strait of Hormuz, that Obama kept open for free.

Brilliant!

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

Trump is getting absolutely fleeced in these negotiations…

$300 billion dollars back to Iran, 13 dead American Soldiers, $100 billion in expenses… just to re-open the strait that was already open before he bombed them.

Perhaps one of the worst deals ever made.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Remember when Republicans melted down because Obama settled a legal dispute with Iran for $1.7 billion?

The proposed US-Iran peace deal includes a $300 billion “reconstruction fund.”

MAGA, any comment?

Americans realizing they're starting the Cuba war to distract from the Iran war disaster which was a distraction from the Epstein files disaster

Trump is set to visit Walter Reed on Tuesday for his 3rd checkup in 13 months.

The White House touts reports he's in "exceptional" health. Outside physicians said there are legitimate health questions about the nearly 80-year-old president.

"President pardons his supporter who goes on to molest kids" would have been a MASSIVE scandal for any other administration

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

Donald Trump ran for office for three reasons:

1) stay out of jail
2) exact revenge on his enemies
3) line his pockets

Everything else he says is bullshit.

[NYTPitchbot @DougJBalloon]

Trump's frequent trips to Walter Reed raise new questions about Joe Biden's health.

That's all you need to know about Maga. 😂

You are seeing in real time why Trump companies went bankrupt so many times. Set aside your politics. This guy is incapable of making a deal or meaningful decision and it follows the same cycle. Big flashy announcement (Epic Fury). Adversity hits (Hormuz closed). Defraud stakeholders (promise two week solution). Freeze up (endless two week cycle loop). Compound the problem (resource depletion). Final chance to save face rejected (what you’re seeing now). Bankruptcy strikes and blame others during chaos. Rinse repeat.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Before people think this Trump surrender in Iran is a one off, remember: Trump negotiated the deal with the Taliban that lead to our shameful withdrawal.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Good morning.

We won the war so hard that Iran now has privileges it didn’t have before we started it,

The gaslighting is actually impressive
