A trial of these “vandals” will at least allow a deep dive into what actually went wrong at the reflecting pool, which could be immensely embarrassing for the president.

1. Yesterday, the NYT dropped a bombshell: Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) has been aggressively lobbying Trump not to end the fighting and pushing him to launch a ground operation. Why would Trump listen? Follow the money.

“I’m not going to start a war,” President Trump pledged during his November 2024 victory speech.

Trump cut funding for the Gateway Tunnel right before the New Jersey governor's race, which the GOP ending up losing, and now, with a senate race coming up in Michigan, he's blocking the opening of a bridge between Detroit and Ontario. It's like he's trying to sabotage Republican chances of winning.

If we are deporting millions of people, more jobs will go unfilled, which means less competition for jobs, which should make the unemployment rate go down.

The reason the “paid protestor” accusation is so popular is that these are people who cannot imagine doing something because it’s right, to stand up for a principle, talking to other people like that.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence. Seven weeks later, he attested a neighboring property would also be his principal residence. In reality, he does not seem to have lived in either home.

The cheapest way for America to access Greenland's mineral resources is to buy them. Greenland is happy to do business with its allies. Trump thinks it will be less expensive to deploy the American military to the Arctic to steal what he wants. Trump doesn't understand how business works.

They would. But Trump has continued to decrease reconnaissance and military in Greenland. His desire has nothing to do with that. He wants to exploit its resources without having to share them with the greenlanders. Putin, who controls the US regime, wants him to try and fail, breaking NATO
