@schroeder_k Wenn Sie weiterhin glauben, das Problem der deutschen Automobilindustrie sei Klimaschutz, haben Sie wirklich sehr viel verpasst. Das Problem der deutschen Automobilindustrie ist, dass sie unbedingt auf Retrotechnik beharren wollte, die mit Roh-CO2 betrieben wird.
George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. https://t.co/yDqVXWfDgc
Das ist das Problem mit dem russischen Imperialismus und der Wohlfühloase Moskau: Niemals in den letzten 35 Jahren mussten die Russen ernsthaft befürchten, dass ihr Blutdurst auf sie selber zurückfällt. Nicht nach Syrien, nicht nach Georgien, Moldawien, Tschetschenien und den vielen Massenmorden in den Kolonien des Ostens.
Die Ukrainer bringen ihnen jetzt bei, dass alles einen Preis hat. #SlavaUkraïni
This is what many Americans still refuse to understand.
Trump is not just changing policy.
He is changing the identity of the United States itself.
For decades America claimed to stand for democratic alliances, soft power, and resistance to authoritarianism.
Now allies get threatened.
Dictators get flattered.
Ukraine gets humiliated.
NATO gets mocked.
And foreign policy increasingly sounds like a business deal between oligarchs.
Meanwhile Beijing and Moscow watch the Western alliance slowly fracture from within —
without firing a shot.
What a fucking moron. The scientists updated the forecast and concluded the worst-case scenario is no longer likely because of faster than expected adoption of renewables.
In other words, it’s precisely because some countries moved fast in adopting green energy that this scenario became unlikely.
Trump just got exposed for running the biggest insider trading operation in American history.
Nancy Pelosi traded $5 million in stocks and Congress lost its mind.
Trump literally executed $750 MILLION worth of stock trades in ONE quarter while being President.
His ethics filing just dropped and the numbers are genuinely unprecedented in history:
Between January and March 2026, Donald Trump personally executed 3,700 individual stock transactions worth between $220 million and $750 million.
That's roughly 60 trades PER DAY.
While signing executive orders, meeting foreign leaders, and making policy decisions that directly impact the companies he's buying and selling.
Now here's where it gets really insane:
On February 10, Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock.
Three months later, on May 8, he stood at a Mother's Day event at the White House, thanked Michael Dell by name, and told Americans to "go out and buy a Dell."
Dell stock surged 14.6% that day to an all-time high of $263.99.
Since Trump's February purchase, Dell is up 96%.
And 5 months BEFORE Trump bought Dell stock, Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a sitting president's signature program in modern history.
So the timeline goes: Dell donates $6.25 billion to Trump's program -> Trump buys Dell stock ->Trump tells America to buy Dell from the White House podium -> Stock hits all-time high
And that's just ONE stock...
The same filing shows Trump bought Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a massive chip deal with Meta.
He bought more Nvidia stock one week BEFORE his own Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia.
He bought Intel stock starting in March 2026. The US government already owned a 9.9% stake in Intel worth over $41 billion. On April 30, Trump posted on Truth Social praising Intel, writing that "Intel Stock continues to rise."
Intel jumped 3% in after-hours and is now up 140% year-to-date.
He bought Palantir stock while his administration was actively handing them billion-dollar government contracts for immigration enforcement and defense.
He bought Robinhood stock while his own Trump Accounts program uses Robinhood as the broker.
He's currently sitting on over 100% profit on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell Technology, and at least 10 other positions.
Every single president since Lyndon B. Johnson has used a blind trust to avoid exactly this situation. But Trump didn't.
His assets sit in a trust controlled by his own children, and the filings show a broker acted as agent on several trades.
The White House says the portfolio is "independently managed."
But here's what independently managed looks like:
Buy Dell stock. Three months later, publicly endorse Dell from the White House. Stock hits all-time high.
Buy Nvidia stock. One week later, your own government approves their chip sales. Stock rips.
Buy Intel stock. Post about Intel on Truth Social. Stock jumps. The government you run already owns a 10% stake.
Buy Palantir. Hand them contracts. Buy Robinhood. Route a federal program through their platform.
Nancy Pelosi got absolutely destroyed for her husband's stock trades.
Her husband's total disclosed trades in his most controversial year were worth roughly $5 million.
Trump just disclosed up to $750 MILLION in a single quarter.
While making the actual policy decisions that move these stocks.
This isn't a left or right issue.
We're talking about the President of the United States averaging 60 stock trades per day in companies his own administration regulates, contracts with, and publicly endorses.
What do you think?
Die meisten Menschen wollen dass die Ukraine sich und ihre Familien gegen die Invasoren schützen kann. Die meisten Menschen wollen dass russland in ruzzland bleibt und Europa in frieden lasst. So lange russland aber wie ein betrunkener Mörder durch Europa torkelt ist es besser wir bewaffnen uns.
@TheCalmExpert@BrennpunktUA Die NATO wäre ein weit einfacheres Ziel als die derzeitige Ukraine. Kein NATO Staat ist auch nur annähernd auf Drohnen vorbereitet. Sind es dann 1500 wie vorgestern in der Ukraine dann gehen in einem NATO Staat ganz schnell die Lichter aus.
The careless decision to reduce our force posture in Europe, along with moves by Pete Hegseth and his political henchmen to force out some of our finest general officers is amateur hour at best and deadly at worst.
Hegseth continues to surprise and disrespect our greatest allies and some of our best military professionals with impulsive decisions not grounded in reality or good judgment. If the rumors are true that Hegseth is trying to sideline General Chris Donahue, one of our nation’s finest warfighters, by downgrading U.S. Army Europe-Africa to a 3-star command, he is taking another step down a dangerous path. A step that is not in the best interests of our nation or our servicemembers.
General Donahue has dedicated his entire career to upholding the high standards and warrior ethos that Hegseth claims he is restoring to our ranks. Gen. Donahue has led Soldiers at all levels in Airborne (including Ft. Bragg’s 82nd) and Mechanized units, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and our most prestigious special operation units. He deployed over 20 times in support of Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, New Dawn, Inherent Resolve, Atlantic Resolve, Freedom’s Sentinel, European Assure, Deter and Reinforce, and in support of the Sudan crisis.
Hegseth would do well to surround himself with more patriots like General Donahue and to get his henchmen, who are not qualified to carry Donahue's bag, out of the Pentagon. Keep your word, Mr. Secretary: choose meritocracy over your mediocre yes-men.

@Wolwar1231@MariKanWien Haben die Russen oft genug selbst gesagt. Wie kann man nach all des Aussagen aus Russland etwas anderes denken? Wahnsinn. Da muss man schon alles aus Russland völlig ignorieren um solche Aussagen zu tätigen.
@ChrisRose1989@MariKanWien Die polnische Armee mag die stärkste Armee der NATO in Europa sein (was keine Kunst ist) - ist aber ein Scherz gegenüber der Ukrainischen Armee in Mannstärke, Kampferfahrung und Kampfkraft. Der Weg von Russland durch Polen wäre weit einfacher als der durch die Ukraine.
After Donald Trump’s visit to China, even the most cautious observer should now be able to see the obvious:
The United States has voluntarily relinquished its role as the central power of the democratic world.
If you are a dictator in Russia or China, you can expect respect, flattering words, and promises of cooperation (Trump would clearly also prefer a cooperative relationship with Putin’s Russia - though domestic political realities still constrain how openly he can pursue that ambition).
If, on the other hand, you are a free country in the political West - or merely a smaller allied nation - you can expect mockery, unreasonable demands, and shifting ultimatums that are forgotten five minutes later because they were never intended to be taken seriously in the first place.
And above all: the implicit message that if things turn ugly, you are on your own.
The correct reaction is neither anger nor indignation. Such reactions make little impression in the United States. And in Europe, they mostly waste valuable time.
Instead, we must make Europe stronger and more independent. And we must deepen the alliances we already have with freedom-oriented nations across the world.
Had Donald Trump consulted the Oracle of Delphi about his plans, the Oracle would probably have replied:
You will cause a great empire to crumble.
Trump would likely have returned happily to Mar-a-Lago. As his reaction to Xi’s references to Thucydides revealed, he does not seem to know his classics either.
