    Credentials and security clearances for 37 former officials have been removed; DNI, Tulsi Gabbard announced. This is in relation to the 2016 Russian - Trump bromance report.

    They only gave the plane away because its an outdated, white elephant that will take Billions$ to retrofit to standards.
    Trump was suckered into taking possession of this turd.

    Will taxpayers carry the cost to retrofit Mr. Trumps gift?

    'President of peace': Trump tapped for Nobel Prize amid talks to end Russia-Ukraine war

    excerpt:

    "President Donald Trump is being tapped for a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to bring together Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

    "We respectfully submit this nomination of President Donald J.

    Supply Chain Disrupter-in-Chief.


    Trump expands 50% steel and aluminum tariffs to include 407 additional product types

    excerpt:
    • The Trump administration announced that 50% duties are now in effect on more than 400 additional kinds of products that contain aluminum or steel.
    • The new product categories include everyday items such as car parts, plastics and specialty chemicals.
    • Economists warn that the new levies could further strain the U.S. supply chain and raise prices for consumers.

    Anticipate the usual remarks.


    It's for the good of the country.

    Trump said there will be some short-term pain as he takes everyone to the promised land.

    Trump knows what he's doing better than everyone.

    It's worth it because it sticks it to all those countries that have been ripping off the U.S.

    There are other costs Americans have to worry about anyway.

    Trump will make up for it by issuing refund checks to the public.

    The will make up for it by cutting gasoline costs in half.

    The money will be pouring in to the U.S. from all those other countries.

    Trump can threaten the Almighty with extreme tariffs until he's allowed in.

    JD Vance kept his mouth shut this time when Zelensky met with Trump.

    Back in March 2025 when Trump met with Zelensky, Vance played the role of agitator, like a little kid with a peashooter.

    Who needs the help of God and the public and their values, like what was said by Nixon, Reagan, and Bush, when one politician says he alone can fix everything.


    https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/07/trump-rnc-speech-alone-fix-it/492557/

    excerpt:

    "And he offered them a solution.

    I am your voice, said Trump. I alone can fix it. I will restore law and order. He did not appeal to prayer, or to God. He did not ask Americans to measure him against their values, or to hold him responsible for living up to them. He did not ask for their help. He asked them to place their faith in him.

    He broke with two centuries of American political tradition, in which candidates for office—and above all, for the nation’s highest office—acknowledge their fallibility and limitations, asking for the help of their fellow Americans, and of God, to accomplish what they cannot do on their own."

    At a rally in Las Vegas in 2024, Trump said sarcastically: “I don't care about you, I just want your vote.”

    Even though it was sarcastic, for Trump it is factual. In his mind, he really doesn't need the people, or values, or God. Just the votes.

    Article from 2016.


    Why People Fall for Charismatic Leaders

    excerpt:

    "And you have the same thing when Trump talks about immigration. He’ll never cite actual data on the number of crimes committed by immigrants vs. non-immigrants. You probably heard if you listened to the VP debate when the moderator said to Pence, "but you know the most recent incidents were all done by American citizens, how do you account for that?" and he ducked that question and went right back to very loaded emotional words — “tragedies occurring to families.” So what he does is deflect attention away from the data onto these base emotions, and then they tell you, “we’re the only ones who can save you." And if you already feel like you're a person who doesn't have a voice, that's an extremely attractive way to put things."

    That was in 2016.

    Since 2016, Trump has become even more bold and general with his statements, such as:


    I am your retribution.

    I am your voice.

    I am your justice.

    I am the chosen one.

    I alone can fix it.

    I'm being indicted for you.

    I want to be your protector (Trump said to women in PA in 2024)

    In the wake of Trump's mass tariffs, John Deere announces mass layoffs.


    In Wake of Trump Tariffs, John Deere Announces Mass Layoffs

    excerpt:

    "Estimating that tariffs have already cost the company $300 million this year, Beal forecast a full-year tariff impact of nearly $600 million.

    The news comes as evidence increasingly accumulates that ordinary Americans are shouldering the costs of the administration’s trade policy."
