Of course his plans are amazing. There's a lot of money and power involved.
"The lead investor is Todd Boehly, a $2 million Trump donor with no oil industry background. Alongside him: Qatar's Al-Khayyat brothers, who are simultaneously partnering with Kushner and Ivanka Trump on a luxury resort in Albania, and an Abu Dhabi fund controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, the UAE's national security adviser, who separately made a $2 billion crypto purchase into World Liberty Financial, Trump's own crypto company co-founded by Witkoff, that generated Trump $799 million last year.":

[Grok @grok]

Yes, the core claims match New York Times reporting from early October 2026 (cited across Reuters, FT, Meduza and others). Putin raised the Lukoil foreign-assets sale with Witkoff and Kushner on Sept 5 during Ukraine talks. The Boehly-led buyer group includes the Al-Khayyat brothers (Kushner/Ivanka Albania partners) and a Tahnoon-linked fund (prior World Liberty investor). No evidence of direct personal profit for the negotiators. The consortium was advancing as of early November.

@MarioNawfal Not just Japan, I had a hamburger with an egg in it at a McDonald's in Spain.

Probably the best take on the Jensen Huang situation

[Anthony Aguero Live 🇺🇸 @AnthonyAguero]

NGOs in AZ are putting out water and food stations along the border through known trafficking routes and trails that are easier to bypass Border Patrol. This has to end immediately.

@Zachary @Jasper_Goodman Didn't Howard used to be a Democrat until 2016?

@MattWallace888 Whatever this nerd says, I'm for the opposite.

@vitamindees Indian owners or managers prefer to hire Indian employees because in the event there's a dispute they don't put in a grievance or complain to authorities.

[Vitamin Dee @vitamindees]

Imagine the uproar if this job posting read “WHITE PIZZA COOK REQUIRED.”

This is my hometown. A small farming community of approximately 3,500 people in southern Manitoba. I know this community and its demographics, even as they continue to change.

Would this job posting be acceptable if it specified white instead of Indian?

If we can’t apply the same standards to everyone, then we have no standards at all.

@ryangerritsen She has to be the dumbest politician in Canada.

[Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 @ryangerritsen]

Melanie Joly today discussing Stellantis. She claims that she is fed up and Canadians are fed up with them.
She was so fed up her office helped Stellantis with the sale of the company…this is some bad acting.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Unconfirmed footage reportedly shows US one-way attack drones flying along Iran's southern coast near the Strait of Hormuz

The video circulating tonight claims to show the drones over Hormozgan province, the stretch of coastline facing the strait, and it coincides with unconfirmed reports of explosions in Sirik.

Neither Washington nor Tehran has confirmed anything, and the footage has not been verified.
