The Trump Presidency : Part 2

Pathetic stuff. North Korea levels of blowing your boss.

‘Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that’s a 600% savings.’”



That is actually an impressive level of ass kissing.
 
Trump administration not happy about its NATO allies.

Exclusive: Pentagon email floats suspending Spain from NATO, other steps over Iran rift, source says
An internal Pentagon email outlines options for the United States to punish NATO allies it believes failed to support U.S. operations in the war with Iran, including suspending Spain from the alliance and reviewing the U.S. position on Britain's claim to the Falkland Islands, a U.S. ‌official told Reuters.

Like so many things coming out of the White House these days it's not the worth the paper it's printed on.

The US have no authority to suspend or exclude an NATO member state from NATO. Typical Trump bullshit to divert media interest.
 
Also he definitely said $600 to $10 or some equally garbled gravel-based nonsense which made even less sense but there you go.
RFK Jr: "When the President stands on the back lawn staring at the sky, trying to remember where he is, and shitting his pants, it's actually his way of doing rocket science or brain surgery."

Trump: "Right."
 

US soldier charged after winning $400,000 betting on removal of Maduro​

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20832yg5p2o

A US special forces soldier involved in the military operation that captured Nicolas Maduro has been arrested after he allegedly bet on the removal of Venezuela's former leader before the information was publicly available.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged Gannon Ken Van Dyke after he allegedly made trades on Polymarket, a crypto-powered platform, on the basis of classified information.

"That is clear insider trading and is illegal under federal law," justice department officials said.
Van Dyke, an active-duty soldier in the US Army stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, won more than $409,000 (£303,702) as a result of his bets.

US forces seized Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores from their compound in Caracas in a dramatic, night-time raid on 3 January, and brought them to New York to face allegations of weapon and drug offences, which they deny.

Van Dyke allegedly placed bets on the timing and outcome of the operation, known as Operation Absolute Resolve, "all to turn a profit", the justice department said in a statement on Thursday.
The DOJ alleges that on or about 26 December 2025, Van Dyke created a Polymarket account and began trading on Maduro and Venezuela-related markets. He is accused of making bets of more than $33,000 (£24,500) while in possession of classified nonpublic information about Operation Absolute Resolve.

Asked about the alleged betting during an unrelated event on Thursday, US President Donald Trump said he had not heard about it but would look into it.

When asked about concerns that prediction markets could lead to insider trading, the president said he is "not happy with any of that stuff".

They are going to put The Onion out of business.
 
Good to see they are hauling some no mark over the coals for making a few hundred grand but the people who make a few hundred million are waved on through…….
 
Interesting read.


What is this account? It had a story in the exact same style about being a diplomatic staff member involved in the Iran-US talks (pre-war - see here), and something about CoPilot installation. Someone who likes to post AI stories about particular scenarios?

That doesn't mean what's written is complete fiction, but the 'I' is definitely not each time the same person.

Is this really even a thing?
People in ancient Egypt knew how to work out percentages.
Trump is a certifiable simpleton.
Anyone who agrees with his opinion on this is a certifiable simpleton.
End of.
There are two ways to work it out a) correctly and b) idiotically incorrectly (actually impossible)

The shocking thing is that most Americans I spoke with actually agree with Trump's math.
They told me a stock can go up 600% so naturally it can come down 600%. When I told them that's wrong the stared at me in disbelief.

I wonder how Americans do their investment calculations if they don't even know/understand basic math from elementary school.

I think a lot of Americans are born into decent wealth that will persist into the next generations and therefore don't really need to think about the maths behind their finances.

There's a reality TV show called Treehouse Masters. There's only one nation on the planet that could sustain multiple seasons for a show like that.

Yeah I agree it reads purely like AI and I’m surprised so many people are giving it any credence.

Absolutely not. Majority of Americans are born into poverty and/or working class parents (or single parent). And majority do not invest nor have much savings. A very tiny percentage are born into generational wealth.
 
:lol: Trump actually posted this, but yeah, he keeps telling people how intelligent he is.


With posts like this there is always the question: Is he really so stupid that he doesn't realize it? Or is he smart enough to know that his followers are so stupid that they won't notice, so why shoud he bother? I'm seriously not sure (and of course both could be true at the same time). And that's very worrying to say about a power like the Uneducated Stupid of America...

my take is that he’s really that stupid, but he’s also well aware that it doesnt really matter what he posts because his followers swallows it anyway and there’s very little that can hurt him
 
Just breaking that the event will resume shortly. Someone probably popped a bottle or whatever and next thing you know it's panic time.

Update: Someone on CNN call-in saying there were gunshots in the hallway and apparently a gunman.
Update 2: It's Wolf Blitzer on the call.

Probably staged shit again knowing that clown.
 
Karoline Levitt said earlier tonight would be lit and shots would be fired.

A gunman has been shot dead by Secret Service agents at the event.

Edit. Apparently in custody, not shot dead.

Trump and Vance in attendance at a location that is used to high security political events. At a time when Trumps approval rating at an all time low. Iran war a mess. Everyday billions wasted Cabinet officals in scandals daily. And his first time attending the event suddenly needs evacuation.

This administration just lies too much and you cant trust the alphabet agencies under him either at this point for the truth or a real investigation.

Even if they do an investigation - they ll find a way to blame it on whoever is most convenient for them even when that assailant happens to be of the same political persuasion like we saw with Kirk, himself before, etc. In that sense it almost doesn't matter who or what. It could be a white woman who went crazy bc of Mar a Lago face procedures and they ll claim it was an Iranian or liberal something who also happened to be trans and wanted to stop him from building his arch.
 
Media's fault for being mean to him and constant negative coverage. All GOP will suddenly say the temperature needs to be turned down on political discourse again. If its a black or brown person Marshall law incoming.
 
30 year old suspect from LA in custody. One secret service agent shot in the kevlar vest and taken to hospital.

Republicans already out in force blaming crazy liberals and blaming them shutting down the government and effectively shutting down the Department of Homeland security.

Wolf Blitzer has just reported live saying he's never seen security tighter at any event he's ever attended.

It's too early to say, but things don't deem to be adding up at a time when Trump is underwater across the board on everything and on a day Jack Smith testified in public that his investigation found evidence beyond reasonable doubt that amongst other things Trump lied and interfered in the 2020 election, was responsible for January 6th, tried to coerce Vice President Vance and State Election officials to refuse to ratify or even falsify election results.

Trump is back at the White House and due to give a statement after reportedly demanding not to leave and wanting the event to continue.

What I hate most is the fact I'm questioning everything and find it easier to believe this is another staged diversion for Trump to change the narrative and regain support. Given the security at this event, that version of events seems more believable, especially after a week where it's reported many MAGA voters have serious concerns over the Butler assassination attempt.

If it is genuine then it's a massive feck up of epic proportions and brings serious questions about the protection of the most important man in the US, even the world.
 
It was reported earlier that Kash has been told to resign by Trump.

Tonight he's stood next to Trump and looks absolutely off his fecking tits. He sounds even worse.

Trump looks like shit.

Trump just 'truthed' images of the guy

https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump

Is that responsible so soon after? So he's gone back to the White House, prepared a speech and had time to post pics and videos?

This is the worst timeline ever.
