Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?

Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.

A Trump Order Protected a Weedkiller. And Also a Weapon of War.

Trump signed an EO benefitting Bayer, the makers of cancer-linked weedkiller Roundup and deadly munitions component white phosphorus.

It came after Bayer hired top Trumpworld lobbyist Brian Ballard and spent over $9M last year on federal lobbying.

"Drain the swamp."

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.

Gas prices skyrocketing.

Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.

Another war in the Middle East.

Are we great again yet?

Imagine for one second if Biden had pardoned an AntiFa guy who went on to rape so many kids that he’s being sentence to life in prison.

Fox News and the GOP would be wall to wall to wall.

Instead, this happens with a Jan 6er and it will not be reported on cable news or mentioned by Democrats.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

A Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse Since receiving presidential pardons, dozens of former Capitol rioters have gotten into more legal trouble. In Florida, Andrew Paul Johnson was sentenced to life in prison for child sex abuse.

China no longer buys US exports: Drawing the right lessons for the next Trump-Xi deal China essentially stopped buying US exports in April 2025. President Donald Trump had started his second term by launching a new trade war that he headlined with steep new tariffs on China. When China...

Without Trump’s trade wars since 2017, US exports to China would have been nearly 60 percent higher in 2025, or roughly $90 billion annually.

The majority of America’s teachers β€” a whopping 71% β€” have at least one side job because they’re so underpaid.

Meanwhile, the country is about to be launched into a long, drawn-out war that has already cost an estimated $2 billion.

Priorities.

So far, we’ve gotten into:

1. The oil-tanker escort business
2. The shipping-insurance business
3. The militia-arms and finance business

And it’s only Tuesday.

Q: "Do you think that Donald Trump should be deposed by this Committee?"

Hillary Clinton: "Absolutely."

"Donald Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers … That is behavior that fits a pattern if one were looking for a pattern."

Trump Labor Secretary Caught Using Govt Funds for Her Birthday Party The birthday party was β€œrenamed” in order to avoid greater scrutiny about using public funds.

Every time Trump talks about "cutting waste," a cabinet member treats the Treasury like a personal Venmo. Sec. Chavez-DeRemer hosting a lavish birthday day party at the DOL while staff faces layoffs isn't just "tone-deaf"β€”it’s systemic corruption. The public purse is not a party fund.

White House's "War Powers Report" to Congress for attack on Iran.⬇️

Two conspicuous absences:

1. The word "imminent" appears nowhere. There is thus no justification in the Report for proceeding without prior congressional authorization.

2. No reference to wellbeing/protection of Iranian people.
