The problem for Trumpβs base is that Trump keeps choosing himself over them.
The problem for Trump is that Trumpβs base is more devoted to Q than to him.
Remember, Trump tried to pick Matt Gaetz β widely suspected of raping underage girls β as AG.
Then, Trump picked Pam Bondi β who reportedly killed Floridaβs Trump University case in exchange for a $25,000 donation.
All for PRECISELY this moment β to cover up the Epstein case.
BREAKING - Trump gives Ghislaine Maxwell βlimited immunityβ to talk to administration officials
Are they letting Maxwell out of prison in exchange for lying that Trump was never part of Epsteinβs sex trafficking?
Why else would govt talk to Maxwell - whoβs already convicted?
Iβve prosecuted Trump. Iβve researched him. Iβve devoured every book and article on him.
He is DESPERATE β overreacting because the WSJ articles drew blood and are almost certainly true.
And now heβs botching everything. Suing WSJ? Terrible idea. Releasing Maxwell? Even worse.
Person A is a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, indicted under Espionage Act
Person B has zero criminal history ever
Newspaper says Person A mayβve been a pedophile rapist and covered it up β so Person A accuses Person B of treason
Gosh how do we decide whom to believe? π€

BREAKING: Trump's FCC approves Paramount-Skydance merger after blocking it
Just DAYS after CBS (part of Paramount) fired Trump critic Stephen Colbert
Just WEEKS after CBS paid $36 million to Trump to settle his bullshit lawsuit vs 60 Minutes
TOTAL AND COMPLETE CORRUPTION

Gosh, why is Elon Musk so confident that thereβs damning material in the secret unreleased Epstein files? Itβs like he has some insider knowledge or something

2025 - Bondi had the Epstein client list on her desk β but the matter has died
What did Trump give Bondi this time?
All this because Trumpβs ex sugar daddy said he was in the secret Epstein files?

We the People
Dear Graduates:
Congrats! A few of you will become the next Elon Musk or Donald Trump.
The rest of you will do worse than your parents, with worse jobs and high costs - so the multi-billionaires can become even richer.
Or do you want to fight to change that?

Trumpβs tariffs are ILLEGAL.
BREAKING: COURT BLOCKS TRUMP TARIFFS
Trump LOSES in US Court of International Trade β which ruled that Trump exceeded his authorized power to jack up tariffs
Administration has 10 days to halt tariffs
MAJOR loss for Trump β and victory for lower costs for all Americans

Good time to remember:
The last time Trump was president, he ran up more than 25% of ALL the debt in the entire history of America
$7.8 TRILLION DOLLARS
And heβs about to do it again β so he and his billionaire friends, Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg, can get tax cuts
What should be next for this newsletter?
What would you like to see? I'm curious to expand this in some new directions, and I'd love to hear from you!

Dear Jake Tapper,
No, the original sin was JANUARY 6 β and not convicting Trump immediately after.
Anything else is fake outrage to gin up ratings and book sales.

If DOGE were a private company it would be facing multiple class action lawsuits for FRAUD and false advertising.

The Republicans tax bill is here.
It does NOT ban taxing tips.
It does NOT ban taxing overtime.
It does NOT ban taxing Social Security.
Trump LIED to you β yβall got PLAYED.
If Osama bin Laden were still alive, he could promise a Trump Tower in Afghanistan β and Trump would lift the terrorism designation for al Qaeda and order all 9/11 memorials be destroyed for being βwoke.β
THAT is how craven Trump is.
Itβs not America First.
Itβs Trump First.
Donβt worry β now youβll only have to spend $50 to $150 extra in taxes, per child, for holiday gifts
While Trump got a $400 million holiday gift early from Qatar
Because he matters way more than your kids β right?

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth plagiarized 8 different passages in senior thesis at Princeton, with many passages of 10-30+ words verbatim, per Daily Princetonian
Princeton has strict policy against plagiarism, often with 1 year suspension
