Trump has successfully raised US inflation to 4.2%.
Congratulations!
How did he do it:
1. The war against Iran (as dumb as it gets).
2. Tariffs (dumb all the way).
3. Excessive budget deficit for no macroeconomic reason with unemployment at 4.3%
Dumbest president ever.
CNN = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.

FOX = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WaPo = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
WSJ = Owned by a right-wing billionaire.
Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”

Former Danish PM and NATO Secretary General Rasmussen: I met Putin and Medvedev. They respect only power. European envoy debates are a distraction without a peace-through-strength strategy.

President Trump claims "I didn't guarantee no war" despite repeatedly promising no new wars during his 2024 campaign... he's literally on video saying it.
History made: Donald Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game, and the first to fall asleep after being ruthlessly booed
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
Rubio is right. The US remains the "world's sole global superpower." But the United States is much weaker today than it was 2 years ago. Trump and team have fought with allies, blown up the global trading rules, destroyed U.S. soft power tools, and dragged us into a needless war in the Middle East.
Every day, Russia commits terrorist atrocities against Ukrainian civilians that would cause outrage and catastrophe anywhere else. Unprovoked military attacks on innocents while the free world watches and talks.
Utter humiliation for Netanyahu. Trump coming close to treating the Iranians the way he’s long treated the Russians: as friends he just hasn’t made yet.
Trump lamented that American farmers would never want to trade their lives for his. Farm bankruptcies have dramatically increased since last year. Farmers are also grappling with sky-high prices for fuel and fertilizer due to Trump's decision to go to war with Iran.
It now looks unavoidable with a rapid escalation of 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 fighting after rapid deterioration of the situation around Beirut 🇱🇧. Trump 🇺🇸 has hesitated in his efforts to get a deal, which paved the way for this. The war has no obvious end. . https://t.co/kxTO1jYN4g
@ammo4392@anders_aslund Well you are glad Trump pisses Europe & ALL other allies worldwide so off that they can't thrust the US anymore? And will avoid any future US dependencies at more or less all cost?
Directly hurting US businesses & foreign sales for decades,& otherwise making the US less safe? 🤔
Incredible that the rule of law in the US is so weak that we need Albanians to provide support for anti-corruption activities in the US!
The US is unable to even check the corruption of the Trump family.
Pathetic!
The US can no longer lecture anybody about anything!
It’s D-Day. Trump’s first post on Truth Social is a bizarre AI video about how much people love Donald Trump. Not a word about the heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy.
That tells you everything you need to know about Trump.
