The Trump administration is very soft on white-collar crime—the softest, in fact.

Inflation was coming down in the United States—and then Trump’s tariffs happened.

The shrugging responses or outright support from most rank-and-file Republican voters to Trump’s depraved response to Mueller’s death only reinforce why I left the party. The rot goes all the way down. Impossible to associate with it.

Levying tariffs on all of our allies and threatening to invade Greenland was self-harm on its own, but particularly dumb chessplay now that we need all of them to help us defend the Strait of Hormuz and stave off a global energy crisis.

This speech is a case study in what not to do as a leader: deny reality, blame everyone else, and take zero responsibility.

We recently had to take our daughter in for a late-night ER visit. She’s completely fine; but the bill we later received laid bare on a single page how the pricing of US healthcare remains fundamentally broken. It’s essentially made-up. I wrote about it here: open.substack.com/pub/heath/p/...

The Imaginary Price of American Healthcare

Imaginary prices, real consequences — and the technology that could rewrite the rules of healthcare.

Remember when Trump said he could end Putin’s war in Ukraine within 24 hours? Remember when he said he would build a wall and Mexico would pay for it? Remember when he said he would release the Epstein files? All empty promises and lies. Quit being his mark.

Since Trump’s inauguration earlier this year, the US dollar has lost 11% of its value, the steepest decline in over 50 years. That’s before you even count the tariffs he’s making us pay. Trump is making us poorer while artificially inflating the price of everything.

Heath Mayo @heathmayo.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

To recap: Trump has now (1) had his name redacted from the Epstein files, (2) given preferential treatment to Ghislaine Maxwell, moving her to a cushy detention center over the outrage of the victims’ families, and (3) called his supporters dumb for asking questions about this.

He’s going to blame the awful jobs reports on Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Jerome Powell—and the entire GOP will nod and go along with it. These aren’t serious people.

The sad part about the Trump-Epstein stuff is that we all know MAGA will lock arms and continue to support him even if the worst of it proves true. They don’t care about his character at all, or even if he commits crimes. He’s their guy.

The harsh MAGA reaction to the WSJ story makes a lot of sense when you realize how embarrassing it must be every time the news cycle reminds the country just how much of a sleaze bag their dear leader is. This man is their entire legacy—and he’s gross.

WSJ’s parent company Dow Jones, just now: “We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit.” If you thought anything different, you’re listening to jokers. WSJ’s got the goods.

So now Comey and Obama “made up” the Epstein files to presumably hurt Republicans but then never released them? These guys are so dumb. Their lies don’t even make sense.

The only reason total amateurs like wild-eyed Kash Patel and Dan Bongino are in their positions is because they were out on their fringe podcasts claiming that somehow they alone knew the “truth” and would unmask the “deep state.” They’re all frauds who embarrass the country.

I’m sorry—but it is very difficult to maintain a high opinion of anyone who thinks this is fitting conduct for the President of the United States. He embarrasses the country and makes his supporters look like fools every single day.

Heath Mayo @heathmayo.bsky.social · 29/06/2025

Remember when all those House Republicans complained about the lack of regular order and wanted omnibus bills broken into pieces so that Congress could vote up-or-down on each element and propose amendments? They’re all voting for the Big Beautiful Bill. It was all fake BS.

Sad that we have to wait for independent third parties to confirm the success of such important strikes, but that’s where we are. No way for us to trust the President’s own characterization of the attack.

This is not a stable person who should be deciding whether and how we strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.

So Trump says Gabbard has the intelligence wrong on arguably the most important intelligence question facing the United States: Iran’s progress to a nuclear weapon. A few points… (1) Trump picked her. (2) Why is she still in that position? (3) What in the hell are we doing?

“The mad man charged at us so we had to take him down” is the kind of lie you hear from Putin and his thugs when they explain to the world why they disappear peaceful dissenters like Navalny. They expect you to shrug it off, even as the world watches video that shows otherwise.

Heath Mayo @heathmayo.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

I’m sorry, but Hegseth, RFK Jr., Patel, Gabbard... they just aren’t intelligent. We need to call it like it is. It isn’t just that I disagree with them. It’s that they don’t understand what they’re doing and they actively endanger the security of the United States.

Not sure I’ll ever be a fan of using the US military as a domestic police force. Among other things, it makes the American people the enemy of our own state. Our military should fight our enemies, not us.

So many lawyers in the Federalist Society made a deal with the devil against everything they believed and knew to be true—some to secure that government position they always thought they deserved, some to simply stay on the “team.” And now the devil has eaten them, too.

Imagine your signature action as President being something nobody wants and won’t work, but that you try anyway only to drive the global economy into paralysis. After it fails, you start to backtrack—only for a court to say you didn’t even have authority to do it at all. Awful.

Not reposting the President’s absurd Memorial Day message. We have an immature child running our country—and it reflects poorly on all of us that we reelected him and seemingly accept this behavior from our President. We disgrace our inheritance, especially on Memorial Day.

I would be more inclined to give the morality police a hearing if they didn’t cheer a president who slept with a pornstar while married and then paid her to keep quiet about it. Folks like Senator Lee don’t care about moral character. If they did, they would oppose Donald Trump.

The Qataris fund the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas—and Republicans have long excoriated Democrats for getting anywhere close to them. Yet Trump has just taken their large luxury palace jet. The hypocrisy is astounding. Americans need to ask: how is any of this helping them?

More on tariffs: “This isn’t just about laptops and iPhones. It’s about the basic necessities—and $300 is a lot of money for new families. This administration has said it wants to be ‘pro-family,’ but these tariffs are going to crush them.”

On tariffs: “When young families realize—hey, why am I having to pay $400 more for a stroller?—they’re going to get pissed off because the only reason this is happening is because the President and the yes-men he surrounds himself with just don’t understand basic economics.”
