To the most corrupt POTUS in history everything is transactional. Here’s $90 bucks. Now go vote for the GOP. 👇 “Trump said the US government will send a one-time $90 payment to more than 20 million Americans enrolled in Medicare to help offset the cost of 2 months medical insurance premiums.”

It will surprise no one that the most corrupt president in history is openly bribing voters in advance of the midterms. If he actually gave a shit about working for the greater good he’d have spent some energy on doing something about healthcare costs instead of building monuments to himself.

Big Tech executives donated over $227 MILLION to Trump's Super PAC and pet projects. Their payments bought them a seat at Trump's roundtable to regulate AI. We can hardly trust them to create the technology, let alone regulate it. These tech oligarchs are out of control.

Trump’s Legacy at Halftime: Weakness Through War
With the congressional midterm elections nigh and the midpoint of Donald Trump’s second presidency not far behind, it’s time to ask: How does Trump’s foreign policy measure up so far? And where is it likely to go once he’s a lame duck?

Analysis showed the Kennedy Center was solvent when Trump took it over. Contrary to Trump’s claims about the Kennedy Center’s financial state documents found it was solvent until Trump took over. The Chapter 11 presidency.

I asked ChatGBT if it was AI or SI: I’m AI — artificial intelligence. “SI” can mean several things depending on context, but if you mean synthetic intelligence, that’s a related term sometimes used to distinguish machine intelligence from human intelligence.

“A Trump 2024 Campaign Ad which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.” Likely illegal yet Trump just does itbecause he knows nothing is going to happen.

Trump's approval rating just hit an all-time low. Polling for Republicans ahead of the midterms is tanking too. Good news. But do not let the unpopularity of Trump and the GOP result in you becoming complacent. We need to show up this November in numbers so huge that victory cannot be denied.

Trump expects a “deal” with Iran and he made a “deal” with Greenland. He’s introduced “deals” into foreign diplomacy displacing what diplomats have historically referenced as agreements or partnerships, pacts or treaties. He may be POTUS but can’t shake the slumlord real-estate developer he is.

President Trump has spent the past week lashing out at AI "doomers" and boiling the race down to a single imperative: beat China. It’s all that his competitive win win mentality can embrace. The complexity of the situation is beyond his intelligence and intellectual capacity to deal with it.

“U.S.-China relations are so brittle that an AI hotline — not a trade pact, strategic slowdown or diplomatic reset — could emerge as the summit's most meaningful outcome.” The only relationships to have flourished with Trump are Russia and North Korea. All else, including allies is in the toilet.
