🧐🤔YOU WANTED A WALL, TRUMP? YOU’LL HAVE ONE.
Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, responded to Trump’s threats:
“So you voted to build a wall.
Well then, dear Americans — even if geography isn’t your strong suit, and you see America as a country rather than a continent — you should know that on the other side of that wall stand 7 billion people.
And if the word ‘people’ doesn’t resonate with you, let’s call them ‘consumers.’
Those 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhone to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days.
They can trade Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti, and within six months replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW — brands that are already more popular in many places.
They can cancel DirecTV.
And even if they choose not to, they can stop watching Hollywood films and turn instead to higher-quality productions from Latin America or Europe — with richer storytelling and better filmmaking.
Believe it or not, people can skip Disney and visit the Xcaret resort in Cancún instead — or explore destinations across Mexico, Canada, or South America.
Even in Mexico, you can find better burgers than McDonald’s — with higher nutritional value.
Have you ever seen pyramids in the United States?
Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, and Sudan have ancient wonders — none of them in the U.S.
If they were, Trump would probably have bought and resold them by now.
We know Nike isn’t the only sneaker brand. There’s Adidas — and even Mexican brands like Panama.
We understand economics better than you think.
And we also know that when those 7 billion consumers stop buying American products, unemployment will rise, and your economy — trapped behind its own self-imposed wall — will begin to collapse to the point where you’ll be begging for help.
We didn’t want to do this.
But you wanted a wall?
Well.
You’ve got one.”
Her approval rating has reached a historic level — according to a recent poll, it stands at 85%.
How the fuck do we live in a country where Antoinette Lattouf was fired merely for repeating credible peer-reviewed research but Charlie Pickering gets off scot-free for happily participating in an interview with a known neo-Nazi wife-basher?

BREAKING: @tedlieu just said what we were all thinking:
"President Trump has repeatedly fallen asleep at multiple Cabinet meetings, at multiple White House events, and most recently at a raucous basketball game last night. The White House needs to explain why Trump keeps going to the hospital and why they keep giving him cognitive tests..
How in the goddamn do we live in a world where wind and solar farms are bad because they’ll ruin the countryside but data centres bigger than the MCG apparently … don’t?

Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.
Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.
As Trump posts AI videos of him assaulting Stephen Colbert, here’s what Colbert was doing:
Dancing with his wife, having fun at the Fired & Festive!” afterparty in NYC.
For Sunrise viewers who couldn’t hear Tanya Plibersek over Nat Barr & Barnaby Joyce’s constant interruptions, what she said was
“Those who work for a living should not get taxed more on their wages than ppl who are living on their assets”✅
Hard to argue with that. #auspol
BREAKING: In an incredible moment, Congressman Jim Clyburn just warned Republicans to be very careful with their gerrymanders across the south because it could backfire massively. This is a must watch.
