Our deranged president has blatantly grifted millions off the presidency, delivered on none of his economic promises, started a disastrous war, and is engaged in endless, downright evil trolling and juvenile memeing like a lunatic as Republicans head into a bloodbath in November.
But conservative influencers who almost never criticize him are still posing for friendly photo ops at the White House... like it's a flex?
They might not realize it now, but these images are actually deeply embarrassing and are going to follow them for a very long time after Trump's presidency is over and the vibes shift once again.
DC put tariffs on beef.
Beef got expensive.
Now DC is temporarily lowering the tariffs to make beef cheaper.
Government breaks your leg, gives you wheelchair provided by $ stolen from your neighbor, then holds a press conference about the rescue.
Just go away government.
@krystalball Describe for me precisely how their wealth is growing at my expense. I'd like to hear the mechanics. Please don't keep this information to yourself.
One of the worst things about Trump is that he’s ushering in more corporate welfare, cronyism, and socialism while parading it under the banner of capitalism, so we end up with all the failings of those ideologies but with a generation of young people blaming the market economy.
Too early to say this with certainty but I believe this is likely how we got here:
12/29/25: Netanyahu visits Trump for the 7th time in a year where they decided to proceed with funneling weapons to the protestors via the Kurds
First week of January: Kurds don't deliver the weapons but as Pompeo said there were Mossad operatives on the ground. They decide to proceed with limited weaponry, still turning peaceful protests into violent ones. IRGC cracks down hard. Israel now has what it needs: a sales pitch to the West. "We have to liberate them!"
February 28th, 2026: Trump, surrounded by sycophants and Israeli operatives, becomes convinced that he can strike the leadership of Iran and they will NOT shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
Despite everyone on earth knowing that will be the immediate response by Iran, he is totally blind sided.
Now it's too late. Israel has him locked in. To re-open the Strait will require a major ground invasion. Not just to re-open but to keep it open, a ground invasion will be mandatory.
Trump spirals. Threatens allies. Demands that China or the EU or anyone else do it. No one will. Obviously. Just as Israeli intel knew. Either Trump accepts defeat and looks weak or he destroys his legacy and launches a major ground war in Iran. Which is what they've been driving us towards for 30+ years.
Knowing his personality type they bank on him going with the suicidal ground invasion option.
Trump tries option 3: let's just threaten massive war crimes on Easter and hope they will cave. Bridges, power plants, etc. If he proceeds with this option Iran will wipe out, at minimum, major oil infrastructure in the GCC. Ensuring a global depression which will also destroy his legacy.
So he has three options. All severely damaging.
Tomorrow, we find out which decision he makes.
The smart one: accept defeat. Look weak. Spin it as a victory and just come home.
The crazy one: bomb their utilities and send oil to $200+ for the next couple years via the Iranian counter-attack.
The insane one: ground invasion. Implement a draft. Go all in.
(Or drop a nuke and become a pariah state)
I'm not going to pretend I know which option he will choose. But it'll require an ego maniac to show humility for us to avoid the worst outcomes.
So...yeah
That's how we got here and why this is all so fucked.
And this is why Tucker Csrlson went ballistic on him in his episode tonight. He, give or take, sees the same thing I do.
Because Trump got rolled by Israel.
Because he's dumb as shit.
Or totally compromised.
Some of you are slowly realizing that Iran is not Iraq. That we are not fighting 80 IQ Afghanis. That this is not the walk in the park Trump told you it would be. This is Persia.
Good for you. Keep going.
Next up, dig into the nuclear bomb threat. You'll quickly realize it was also a lie.
Then you're ready for the final level. Look into Israel's influence and their decades-long propaganda campaign to trick you into fighting this war for them.
It's not too late to turn back but we need all of you getting loud now.
If Trump goes for a major ground operation we'll be dragged into this for a decade. The sunk cost fallacy is a btch like that.
Now or never.
@ThevoiceAlexa@RebelNewsOnline It's pretty corny when the left demands every institution send condolences but it's even worse when the right does it because they've seen the left and haven't learned
Trade policy should be made by Congress. We need deliberation, hearings, expert testimony, and debate. Then Congress can pass a bill and the president can sign it into law so everyone knows the rules and can plan accordingly.
Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution enumerates the powers vested in Congress.
Section 7 reads, "All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives." Tariffs raise revenue.
Section 8 reads, "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises." This includes tariffs, which are a form of tax and qualify as a duty or impost. It also reads Congress shall have the power "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations." That obviously includes tariffs.
Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution enumerates powers granted to the President. There is no mention of the authority to impose taxes, duties, or imposts, or regulate commerce of any kind.
What is now happening with the Trump Administration is yet another example of the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. This is no way to run a country.
