War, what is it good for?
Insider profits.
On a night when he could’ve been dealing with far more pressing issues – soaring living costs, war with Iran, a global economy under strain – Trump flew to New York expressly to watch the Knicks play host to their first NBA finals game.
The common folks were not taken with Trump II given the rounds of boos he received.
With Trump were family and White House staff (USA Today):
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino, EP Administrator Lee Zeldin, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Trump's granddaughter, Kai Trump. Also in the suite was Envoy Steve Witkoff, Director of White House Oval Office operations Walt Nauta, long-time Trump advisor Boris Epshteyn, and executive assistant to the president Natalie Harp.
CNN reported that his son-in-law Jared Kuschner was also in the suite.
Witkoff and Kushner enjoyed the game vs. negotiating a peace deal with Iran. The pair served as decoys for Trump II's February attack on Iran in conjunction with Israel.
The Trump administration is pursuing a plan to “use Iranian assets to help U.S. Gulf allies recover from damage caused by Tehran’s regime during the Iran war.”
Did they come up with Trump's latest diplomatic insult within his ceaseless war?
The move to divert Iran’s frozen assets to other nations highlights the acute conflict of interest between Kushner’s dual role as a top negotiator for the Trump administration and the private equity manager of $6.2 billion in funds from foreign governments. Many of the potential top recipients of frozen Iranian assets — including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar — are also Kushner’s top investors at his private equity firm, Affinity Partners.Apparently there are lots of funds in the federal government that Trump II can steer to family/friends.
As a White House special employee Jared has gotten a free pass on filing his financial disclosure form under his father-in-law.
As for the Madison Square Garden booing I expect Trump II to lie and retaliate in a significant way. Those are his gut level reflexes of which he is most prodigious.
New York's unfavorite son returned and Trump II will soon deliver "a full load of me." Time will reveal both the form and level of mendacity.
... this sickened world and the shadow people therein, that search endlessly in their insatiable misery for souls to fill their emptiness, and to devour."Great God! Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?" Confederate General James LongstreeBecause it serves the purposes of those empty and selfish creatures who have made themselves into beasts.
And for that our world and so many people suffer.
Update 6-8-26: Trump said he never promised "no new wars." Au contraire:
In his 2024 victory speech, Trump stated: "I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars."
“Once the funds are deposited into the Designated Account, the United States has no liability whatsoever for the protection or safeguarding of those funds, regardless of bank failure, fraudulent transfers, or any other fraud or misuse of the funds,” according to a memo from Todd Blanche, the acting US attorney general.
We are now dealing with people in positions of power who are lawless, and have demonstrated that no crime, no matter how horrific or dishonorable, is beyond them. And they have no shame, and believe that they will never be held to account for their transgressions. This is the fruition of moral hazard.Change is coming, slowly. And those who have served their basest desires and wickedness in high places, for many, many years, will not accept that change quietly.
Bitcoin jumped higher in the last hour of trading. I am now more convinced than ever that it is a control fraud that will end in misery, but only after it has been used by unscrupulous people to add to their wealth.
I am not going to try and convince anyone of anything.
There is no sense talking with people given over to madness, and those determined to be rich through extraordinarily means.
As always, people are free to serve whom and what that they wish.
Free to follow and serve their idols, even into the abyss. And many will. This is the lesson from history.
But for many of us, the challenge is to be a Christian, and remain standing in faith in an increase of lawlessness.
Faith, it is the only refuge. God's love and forgiveness are available to all. It is never too late to turn away from attachments to earthly things and seek the eternal. It is before your very eyes, ears and touch.
"to die by being suspended by the neck"Trump II pardoned those convicted of crimes at his deadly rally.
Unfortunately, his dastardly whims have flourished with his
terrible decision to make war with Iran in conjunction with Israel. I expect our country will pay for this error
for quite some time.
Your Congressional peers are retiring at a historic
rate. I can see why, having worked for a
boss very similar to Donald Trump in my first healthcare administration
position. There is no way to keep one’s
integrity or sanity under such a flawed executive.
If leadership in your political party, Congress and the
Supreme Court, are unable to restrain President Trump’s worst impulses, I am
afraid for the future of our country.
President Trump will not go quietly into the night. He will take down everyone and everything in his
path in his revenge fueled rage. Currently,
he has plenty of “yes men” in place to have his will enacted.
I can assure you loyalty under such a person is never truly
rewarded. One’s very spirit and essence
are there for the usurping. Trump frequently
degrades those around him, offering few praises, some feint and others damning.
I am writing you for the third time because there has been
significant deterioration in Presidential composure, coherence and basic
civility (although he began with low capacity in this area).
“Open the f__kin’
strait, you crazy bastards.”-Donald J. Trump 4-5-26 @8:03 am Easter morning
Independent voters have dropped Trump due to this
deterioration. If your party wants them
back, it needs to restrain the President’s worst impulses, which are numerous
and frequent.
As you are a reasonable person, I imagine some thought is
being put into your future away from politics.
Now might be the time to pull that ripcord.
Otherwise, I respectfully request that the President be
restricted to the White House and his social media accounts taken away until a
more stable course can be charted. The
significant damage he has caused our country needs to stop post haste so the
reversal can begin.
Update 4-30-26: Trump II, the great heel, seems intent on inflicting widespread suffering. How many memes must the public endure before Trump reverses his disaster inducing policies?
The price the West is going to pay for the egos of a few self-absorbed, psychologically unbalanced leaders and their greedy, sociopathic followers is truly astonishing. There is only one word for it.
Madness.
Onward Trumpian loyalists
"merch"-ing off of war,
For the Rage of Cheesus
Trump II's War of Choice on Iran is intended to usurp their natural resources and open up another market for Western TechGods and private equity underwriters (PEU).goes on evermore.
The USA 45-47 hat is currently listed on the Trump Organization’s store for a whopping $55.And there is currently a note on the listing that reads, “Due to high demand, this hat may take an additional 7-10 days to process then ship.”So, whether the President was, in fact, trying to market the hat or not, it appears that the controversial cap is now highly desired.
It's officially unofficial, the new Trump mourning /golf round cap, right for any occasion.
Update 3-16-26: Trump II used his mourning cap in a golf round at Doral and an image from the solemn transfer in a fundraising video.
Update 3-30-26: Trump II continues his frequent golf excursions, even in the midst of his war of choice on Iran.
Wow, our elected officials get to trade stocks and staff based on insider information....
President Trump owes the Supreme Court an apology—to the individual Justices he smeared on Friday and the institution itself. Mr. Trump doubtless won’t offer one, but his rant in response to his tariff defeat at the Court was arguably the worst moment of his Presidency.
Trump II sees no equal branches of government. Not Congress or the Supremes.
Earlier this week his White House highlighted the Gospels and Christ's teachings in their Ash Wednesday news release.
Believing the Gospels and living them are two entirely different things.
Update 2-25-26: Trump's State of the Union speech was record long. It fulfilled its mission of being a vacuous cheer session for the Reds. Congress supplicated at every turn to the fast and loose playing Chief Executive. Boo says this independent voter. It's the run-up to something, a financial crisis, a regional war....
Trump is a destroyer. And only an ardent minority will continue to support him as his failures begin to bite more deeply into the day to day lives of the public.
Trump's financial advisors also purchased bonds in Netflix and WarnerBros, whose merger Trump has vowed "involvement."
Trump use a laptop? Gemini AI said this after I asked for images of Trump II using a laptop:
...there are images of Donald Trump with a laptop, though they are rare and often show him in specific, staged, or assisted contexts rather than working on one directly.
Something is dying in our country and it's decency, honesty, caring and community. Already gone is accountability and appropriate boundaries for leaders. The day I could not envision has presented. But it is not "just me" who is concerned. There are millions of Americans who say "not in our name."
His followers may send him money to recharge his laptop. His Cretin Cabinet may enact his unhinged will. They all do so at tremendous risk to our country's moral standing.
Note: The White House website is silent on the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Last year Trump II's inauguration was that day and he said:
Today is Martin Luther King Day. And his honor — this will be a great honor. But in his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a reality. We will make his dream come true.When Trump II sees people, he does not see color. He's looking for adulation or something to appropriate. His favorite people give him both, in massive amounts.
Good thing the prize came in a giant frame because Machado clearly pantsed Trump. He'd bullied her into donating the award and her acquiescence shows our Pedophile Protector's true colors. Any award Obama got, Trump can usurp better.
Keep the awards flowing. The American public is better off if Trump II spends his days going from ceremony to ceremony.
