Does what he is doing match what he said to get the job? Seems like he is exactly what Republicans said they wanted. They just never expected him to be that daft.

And that is editorializing.
Jellyfish always pick the path of least resistance. No difference here.
A false premise. The Grey Lady survives because it reports facts. When it editorializes, it says so. A few of their reporters might disagree with your post.
Project 2025 had no plans for anything that would happen outside U.S. borders. Trump ad-libbed Russia, China and India. He’s ad-libbing Mexico, Greenland, Panama and Canada. We’re like the neighbors that painted their house purple right now.
It’s September! The leaves are falling, the air is chilled and Congress is back. Ok, let’s see the Epstein files, Mr Speaker.
An alliance that has a population 10 times larger than the United States. Trump’s new world order. He really couldn’t have done a better job of screwing the United States if he tried. Turning everyone, including the EU against the US is some kind of special.
Luttnick did say that he would be changing the GDP data. Considering that we spend about 4 Trillion on imported goods, annually, we must have imported double that and charged 100% tariffs on every country. Love the new way the Commerce Department is counting. And they want to control the Fed?
EU is pissed at the U.S. for tariffs & switching sides in the war. China, India, Russia and Iran are allies to fill the world leadership void and Trump is busy taking over U.S. cities. Feel like you’re riding shotgun with a drunk driver at the wheel? Gabbard, Hegseth, Miller and Noem have our backs?
Moodys downgraded the full faith and credit of the U.S. from Aaa to Aa1 due to tariffs and inflation risks caused by the tariffs. When Trump takes over the Fed, it won’t matter what our credit rating is. No one will be buying our debt. Making the Fed political is what third-world countries do.
The only deadlines Trump appears to be serious about are the ones that hurt Americans (Big Beautiful Bill, Tariffs, releasing his taxes, etc.).
•Illegal tariffs •Chaos at HHS •Redrawing voting maps •Migrant prisoner abuse •American cities under military rule •Voting restrictions •A dependent DOJ •Ending FEMA •Defying Congress •Social Security info compromised • Medicaid gutted •Tax breaks for the wealthy •War on judges Guess who did it?
First there was “the war on drugs,” then there was the “War on Terror,” now we have the “War on American Cities,” the “War on Education,” the “War on Law Firms,” the War on News,” and the War on Truth.” Republicans. Always packaging issues like like a 7-11. Voters are stupid, right?
The only other Secretaries of Health and Human Services to ever resign were Tom Price (Trump, 2017) and Alex Azar (Trump, 2021). Price used unauthorized military aircraft and Azar expressed concerns that Trump's actions and rhetoric had tarnished the administration's legacy during Covid. Ironic.
Everything Trump touches dies. The “Again” part of MAGA is apt. The US has been transported back 50 years and will need to relearn the lessons our fathers learned. But this time, our leader has no capacity to learn, only talk. He has a trigger-fast answer for everything.
And so it goes… Good luck with that $200 million ballroom.
In March, the Commerce Secretary suggested changing the way the economy is calculated. He said, “You know, the Commerce Department runs the statistics of GDP.” Then, Trump folded the Economic Statistics Advisory Committee and later fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner. Trust in Trump?
The refs are biased. How is this guy the next in line to the Presidency?
A sitting U.S. President that wants people killed. Pam Bondi and the President (Stephen Miller) don’t often mention trials. They go straight to sentencing. Like with immigration.
And just like that, the first Amendment is gone. Get in line with Trump or you’re unemployed. Federal Agencies should look like a President’s Cabinet meeting with drooling adulation.
It’s ironic that on the 250th Anniversary of our Democracy, Donald Trump will succeed in destroying it. Everything he has done points to that fact. Project 2025 will win. Republicans will forever be MAGA and rule. Military in our cities is only the beginning. This is what “Great Again” looks like.
When does it become not enough? The same faces jockeying to plant the deepest, wettest kiss on the boss’s sweaty ass is disturbing and can’t possibly be a functioning cabinet.
At some point, there might be pushback from a few of the 19,000 cities in the United States. It might start by publishing a list of any elected representatives that support this nonsense.
Elon Musk got the data for his AI program and the whistleblower is creating a diversion so Musk doesn’t get the blame.
Foreign investors will shun buying America’s debt when it can least afford it. This is how Trump setup his 6 bankruptcies. Utter stupidity, an enormous ego and no one in the room to push back on retribution and lousy business instincts.
It might be nice if Trump would start worrying about the weather. Like haboobs The one in Peoria was a bigg’un.
In 2019, Netanyahu was indicted by Israel for bribery and fraud. In 2024, the ICC issued a warrant for his arrest for war crimes. Today, he bombed a hospital and minutes later, he bombed the rescuers at the hospital. If he ends the war in Gaza, he’ll be tried by the ICC and Israel. He needs the war.
Being elected does not make you innocent of crimes.
Trump has created a culture that promotes an “either you’re for facts, or against them.” There is no such thing as “mainstream media.” Either there is factual reporting or there are opinions. The “mainstream” is not a trusted news source, but a collection of sources, trusted and untrusted. Bad term.
Surprising how many news agencies are hated by viewers. The Trump era of “shooting the messenger.” It’s impossible to understate how badly Donald Trump has divided this country.
We are in the midst of Trump reducing America to one political party. MAGA is going to be the only party. We are being taken over by a Dictator. Who hasn’t released the Epstein files.
So far, no Epstein files, no mail-in ballots, no historical museums, no peace in Ukraine or Gaza, no voting rights, no Medicaid, no medical research, no independent DOJ, no independent FBI, no FEMA disaster relief, no weather forecasting, no free broadcast news, tariffs AND taxes. And NO Democrats.
The truth in Trump world is as reliable as snot-bottom shoes.
Make America Not Nuts Anymore MANNA.
Trump know nothing of US History and if he does, wants to make it up as he goes. He is doomed to make History’s worst mistakes again.
The emperor has no clothes.
Armed troops in our Nation’s Capitol. The Epstein files must be close.
When a tyrant pretends to be transparent, nation beware.
Birds of a feather…
“Unlawfully”
“With the clothes on their backs, they came through a storm. And those that didn’t die want a better life. And they want it here. Now, that’s impressive.” -Donald Trump The truth matters.
Elected State Lawmakers in Texas are having their civil rights ignored, by Texas. Because they are the opposition Party. Citizens of Texas, this is your heritage and your legacy. It will be in history books long after you’re gone for your decedents to read.
Can we all agree that Trumps tweets on Truth Social are Trump propaganda? Can we leave it on Truth Social and not give him a bigger platform?
Remarkable how much Stephen Miller resembles Benito Mussolini. And he looks like him too.
Someone please explain to Secretary Noem and President Trump that Vaseline might be more effective. Black paint only works during the daytime. Build a 10-foot wall, they build a 12-foot ladder…and wear gloves.
And who decides this? Republicans?
Yeah, but we’re still waiting for the Epstein files.
Republicans are fully baked into this man. Think of Trump, you are thinking of a Republican. Think of a Republican, you are thinking of Trump. No decency, no self awareness, no integrity, all greed, all ego and masked. In the sum total of our history, when was this America ever Great?
Huh? The U.S. Constitution mandates that a census be taken every 10 years to count all people—both citizens and noncitizens—living in the United States. You can be penalized if you refuse.
Trump: “States can protect unborn life, but not voting. It’s just too important.”

Anyone seen the Epstein files?
This? Look for the military posted with guns and armored vehicles at polling places in Democratic cities on Election Day. Like watching “House of Cards.”
Trump lied. He IS “touching” Medicare. Trump’s changes to ‘Prior Authorizations’: “The companies that will make the prior authorization decisions will be paid a percentage of the savings that they generate for Medicare. This creates an incentive for participants to deny a high share of services,”
This man wants to be everything he is not. His integrity, decency and honor is a mile wide and an inch deep. He is a liar.
Trump-always style over substance. The party of gold paint.
56 years ago today.
If AI does eliminate workers, it will dramatically impact payroll taxes, income taxes and Social Security taxes. AI does not pay any worker tax.
Boggles the mind that we just had a “summit” between a guy that wants to conquer Ukraine and a guy that wants to conquer Canada and Greenland.
Just imagine the spectacular amount of intestinal fortitude it took to submit to Putin so completely.
Throw in Texas, and you have a deal.
No ceasefire in Ukraine, but we have UFC fights at the White House to look forward to next 4th of July.
Jack- You’re a bit of a putz. Are you going to ask the leader of your party, currently in Alaska for no apparent reason, to send the Marines into your state again?
Americans call this fraud. Fake. These guys have a seat in the White House briefing room and an office in the Pentagon. The associated press does not.
The Trump Administration new science policy: “Not knowing is better than knowing. Make it up as you go.”
Comer: “We must not allow the American people to see this President’s name in a serial child sex offender’s file. We must ‘flood-the-zone’ with nonsense to prevent that.”
All the money Trump is putting into troops standing around doing nothing could be used to fight real crime. Identity theft, hacking, phishing, social security fraud, bank fraud, phone scams are crimes that affect everyone, not just big cities.
Trump sent 4,000 troops to Los Angeles to protect buildings. Trump sent 800 troops and took over the police in Washington to help with crime. Trump said troops may be sent to other Democratic cities to help with crime. Trump said it was Pelosi’s job to send troops to the Capitol on Jan 6th.
Every country on the planet has U.S. tariffs (except Russia and 3 others). While trade with the US is taxed, other nations can freely trade with each other. Trump has incentivized the world to find non-American markets. That isolationist bill is going to come due for Americans with interest.
It’s getting difficult to call him President Trump. That used to be reserved for men of great achievement and honor. 6 bankruptcies, pornstars, promoting a riot in the Capitol and 34 felony convictions is not great achievement or honor. He’s trying to remake America in his image which is shameful.
The White House is no longer a place where serious work of the people is done. It’s a venue. It’s a joke.
Transparency in the Trump era.
I lived that life. My tribe migrated north after Camille took our house. My only critique, is that we called it Bayou Liberty, like the street nearby. My childhood still lives there, enticing blue crab out of the brackish water and into my bucket. Well done, it’s my story, I didn’t want to leave.
Trump keeps hitting the “look over here” button. Its getting harder to think he wasn’t deeply involved in the Epstein saga with every new Trump-generated headline. Weird sex headlines and Trump go hand in hand. Just ask John Barron.
Apparently, Trump can call up the National Guard without Nancy Pelosi when there’s a crisis except when MAGA is attacking the Capitol. In the height of irony, he’s taking over the same police force that protected his Vice President from near death by his supporters. Today, crime is at a 30-year low.
That ought to fix the homeless problem in Washington DC. Spectacular ignorance wrapped in moldy virtue.
The lamest White House Press Corp reporting always begins with “White House hasn’t ruled out…” Absolutely the laziest form of reporting. I wish they would ask tough questions and hold for an answer. That means asking “Why didn’t you answer the previous question, Karoline?” The press has the power.
The point is not that they “hit” liberals differently. The point is that FOX is lousy entertainment, not news. To qualify as news, the news needs to be true.
The real question about this meeting in Alaska is whether Canada will give Trump permission to fly in their airspace. Trump is a convicted felon meeting a guy with an arrest warrant for war crimes. Trump might need to fly to Seattle and take a right.
Donald Trump says he has forged a ‘Peace Deal’ with Azerbaijan and Armenia that will give the U.S. access to a transit route, to be called the “Trump Route”, just days before meeting Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Trump said that he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for bringing the two nations together.
In classic Trump style, the SIXTH head of the IRS was fired today. For a total of 25,006 IRS employees this year. Trump hires the best people.
Because, what could possible go wrong with sending the U.S. military into South America to shoot people? Trump will say “they will welcome us with open arms,” because it worked so well in Iraq.
If private universities are required to submit data on student applicants race, private corporations should be required to do so as well. Universities get government grants and corporations get tax breaks and subsidies. Fair is fair, Mr President.
Trump has turned the White House into a Louis XIV whorehouse. This is where the American people allow the Chief Executive to work. It is not a palace that he owns. From an architectural viewpoint, it is trashy and exudes a lack of confidence. Real power is not on a wall. It is unseen, but felt.
Trump sure has a lot of sex offenders asking for pardons.
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Maya Angelou
Trump: “I fixed global warming!”
Just a thought. Maybe AI should start paying into Social Security, property taxes, Medicare, Medicaid, State and local tax and landfill charges for all the office furniture, computers and etc. Nobody rides for free.
A 125% tariff increase on Sweden if they don’t “de-rig” the Peace Prize? Pretty cheap considering Brazil got 500% for the Bolsonaro “persecution.”
If it walks like a duck…
Does Trump really have enough credibility to say the words “election integrity?” If he loses the midterms, his reign of terror is over. Trump will do anything to win the elections. Redistrict, birth certificate, ethnicity, race, end mail votes, hire people to screw up counting, cyber ninja-style.
It’s getting to the point that anything the White House says is usually the opposite of what they really mean. “We’re deporting the most violent criminals.” Nope. “We want to release all the Epstein files.” Nope. “The Economy is doing great.” Not exactly. “A Big Beautiful Bill.” No way. Now this.
Trump is going to go down in history as a leader abhorred by the entire world. The name Trump will be synonymous with Hitler, Stalin and Zedong.
Like the rest of this Trump administration, they are taking the country back 100 years only to find out that 100 years ago, they needed another 100 years to get it right. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," -George Santayana
The President’s day job may be taking a back seat to his hobbies. Between the Donald John Trump Gaza Riviera, the Donald John Trump Belgrade Tower and the Donald John Trump White House Ballroom and Casino, he will have his hands full with the Melanija Knavs Trump Opera House at the Kennedy Center.
Flooding the zone. The right amount of Trump bullshit makes it impossible for people to know what’s true and false. That’s the way he likes it. Unfortunately, investors can’t function in this environment. Trump will let us know when the economy is in trouble.
Perfect place for the Trump Belgrade Hotel!
Can a guy really nominate himself?
What people would be acceptable to enrich themselves?
