Trump was never in the military

Do they really think this is a good look?

BREAKING: PANIC! Trump SCRAMBLES at the last minute to block court order exposing his tax returns and business documents in BBC lawsuit.

Donald Trump sued the BBC for $10 billion. Now that lawsuit is about to expose exactly what he doesn't want anyone to see, and he's panicking in real time.

A federal judge overseeing the case ordered Trump to hand over tax returns, ownership documents, and financial statements dating back to 2023 for the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust — the entity holding roughly 400 of his business entities. Trump had 10 days to comply. He waited nine of them, then asked the BBC for a voluntary extension. When they said no, his lawyers filed an "emergency" motion just one day before the deadline, desperately trying to freeze the order entirely.

Why the sudden panic? Because Trump's OWN lawsuit created this mess. He sued the BBC over a 2024 documentary that edited his January 6th speech, claiming it damaged "the value of his brand, properties, and businesses." That's exactly the language that opened the door to full financial discovery — Judge Enjoliqué Lett ruled the trust's records were directly relevant to assessing those claimed damages.

Now, realizing what he unleashed, Trump's team is scrambling to rewrite the complaint entirely, suddenly claiming he only wants damages for "reputational harm," not financial losses — even though he's still demanding a staggering $10 billion. BBC's attorney has already pointed out the obvious contradiction: Trump built his entire political brand around his supposed business success, so you can't claim reputational damage while hiding the finances that reputation is built on.

Trump's lawyers accused the BBC of having "political motivations" for wanting his financial records public. But Trump is the one who chose to sue. He's the one who claimed financial injury. And now that a judge has simply asked him to prove it, he's desperately trying to change the rules mid-game rather than open the books.

If Trump's emergency motion fails, his trust must hand over the records or face sanctions. Trial is set for February 2027, with the BBC also seeking to depose Trump under oath.

Sometimes the lawsuit really is the trap you build for yourself, and only someone as clueless as Dementia Donnie could not foresee the outcome of his litigation.

Please like and share if you can’t wait to see Trump’s financial details laid out in an open court!

Welp. It’s happening.

Bulldozers and heavy equipment arrived in Big Bend National Park today. The most rugged, pristine lands in the lower 48. Trump’s border wall is coming. CBP is refusing to inform residents, park superintendents, landowners, business owners, or Texas legislators what is happening. What we know is that they are now paving new roads where there were none, erecting fencing and walls to protect those roads, and then planning to install technology and border patrol agents in an area where close to zero people ever cross the border.

Ironically, depressingly, they will be spending billions of dollars to destroy this pristine American land while literally making it easier to access, which means easier for coyotes and border crossers to actually traverse the region if they wanted to. Before this, there were no roads, just desserts, cliffs, and cacti, which made it all but impassable.

A few miles upstream, the first border barriers the administration just erected were washed away in the first flood of the season — not even a bad one — but hundreds of millions of dollars wasted, literally floating down the Rio Grande. A few miles downstream, near Eagle Pass, razor wire and debris are washing up ashore from the first floods there, making this critical water source inaccessible for Texans or any wildlife enthusiasts.

Right now, as we speak, $4 billion is flowing to contractors in Trump’s orbit to cut Texans, including me and my family, off from the most critical water source in the state. All for what? Big Bend is 25% of the patrolled southwest border and accounts for less than 1% of all border crossings. Border towns, businesses, tourism — all about to be destroyed. Nevermind the irreversible wildlife damage, the feds stealing land from private citizens via eminent domain, and all the money wasted that could go to actual solutions to secure the border or support these communities.

Ever since I first visited my family here when I was 13 years old I wanted to make a life in West Texas. Three years ago, after so much hard work and planning, I spent my savings on building a home there. One I hoped my son would inherit. A home in one of the most beautiful, rugged, untouched, places in the country. Also one of the safest.

Now, everything that makes this special place special is being upended — for an illogical, wasteful, stupid plan that won't work and won't help the country.

A genuine gut punch. So depressing.

I’m suing FEMA - again.

This time they’re targeting our funding for first responders.

They tried something similar last year, we took them to court, and won. That’s what I expect will happen here.

Chemours dumped PFAS into the Cape Fear River for decades. It’s drinking water for 500,000 people.

The EPA just settled with them without ever calling us. Not one dollar is guaranteed to come to North Carolina.

That’s not a settlement. That’s a favor. I’m asking the court to toss it.

The corrupt Trump administration has just admitted to withholding taxpayer dollars from states based on how they voted.

Last I checked we were a democracy, not a dictatorship.

Where the hell is Congress?

Saw The Odyssey in IMAX 70mm

As many know, I value cinematic accuracy.

Some complain about its “Woke” casting. But Christopher Nolan’s choice to have actors speak English rather than authentic Ancient Greek in original dactylic hexameter is what I found to be most incredulous.

We are supposedly at war to stop Iran from enriching the uranium we “obliterated” over a year ago.

Yesterday we signed a deal to help Saudi Arabia enrich uranium.

The first time the United States has ever helped another country enrich uranium on foreign soil.

The Saudis refused the inspection protocol 140 other countries accept. Too intrusive, they said.

Trump agreed. He signed a national security waiver to get around the rule.

The Saudis paid Kushner $100 million. They put $2 billion into his firm. They put another $6 billion into LIV Golf, which pays Trump properties to host its tournaments. They signed ten billion dollars in Trump-branded real estate deals in Jeddah and Riyadh. All in just the last few years.

But sure. My paintings.

Trump bet nobody would check the math on his library fund. Warren checked. Up to $21 million is missing.
