Trump said we'd grow "like nobody's ever grown before."
Bessent promised 3% growth by the end of 2026.
Instead, growth decelerated from 2.8% under Biden to 1.8% thus far this year.
My @nytopinion Chart:
Capital One cheats customers and gets caught.
They agree to pay back $2.2 billion.
Then they donate $1 million to Trump.
Poof! Settlement canceled.
Cap One pockets $2.2 billion instead.
Imagine ditching your own staff and press on the plane so you can sneak across the tarmac in a motorized catering cart, while the guy you claim is "weak" slipped into Poland, rode a train for 10 hours through a literal war zone into Kyiv, and then made the entire trip in reverse.
We are in the middle of a measles outbreak. A cyclospora outbreak. RFK is dismantling our public health system & scientific research. Millions have lost their health care. And Senate Republicans spent today attacking Dr. Fauci.
Donald Trump has earned more money in his first and second year, in his second term as president, than in the previous 60 years of his life, per Bloomberg.
Lockheed Martin, $LMT, which donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration and over $10 million to his ballroom project, is reportedly donating $5 million to build the White House helipad, per CitzensForEthics.
So far, the company has received over $40 billion in in new and expanded government contracts.
Reports that the White House has dismissed the remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission — all of whom were unanimously confirmed by the Senate, including a commissioner appointed by President Trump himself — should concern every American, regardless of party, because the EAC was established by Congress as an independent, bipartisan body to help states administer secure and credible elections.
If these reports are accurate, removing every remaining commissioner just months before the 2026 midterm elections is an extraordinary step that demands an immediate explanation from the administration and raises profound concerns about political interference in the institutions that support our elections.
Studies now present a striking picture of what happens when private equity firms acquire hospitals and nursing homes: predictable increases in harm and deaths. One landmark study shows: patient deaths up about 11% after such acquisitions.
Since President Trump's re-election, the vast majority of job growth has been in health care and education.
Despite promises to re-shore industry through tariffs, over 100,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost.
🚨🚨🚨A standing ovation for the Washington Post, @wapo . 👏👏👏
You spent a full year investigating whether America's Director of National Intelligence, the woman with access to every classified secret this country has, was being directed by a cult leader who got busted for pyramid schemes in multiple countries.
And you held it until she resigned?
This same cult leader, Chris Butler, has his sect directly tied to QI Group (QNET), a Hong Kong-based company with operations across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
So the real question: Which countries now have access to our national intelligence? Which of our spy names are compromised?
And let's not forget, this is the same Tulsi Gabbard who used her position to do a coordinated hit job on Dr. Fauci, a man who spent his entire life saving Americans.
Imagine if this story dropped while she still had her hands on our nation's secrets.
Our press and mainstream media are failing us at every level.

I wrote that Hegseth is an unserious cornball, but remember, Trump is the least manly president ever to set foot in the Oval Office:

Mary Trump: “Donald and his useless adult children are no longer allowed to run a charity in New York state because the charity they set up was a scam used to enrich themselves further”
“Are you concerned about insider trading on these prediction markets re: the war?”
TRUMP: “The world is a casino. It is what it is.” 🤷🏼
And there you have it, folks!
NEW: At news conference just now, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche declined to answer when asked if/how the Administration would protect taxpayer money from being used in an award in Trump's lawsuit against his own IRS
