    Farmer's pride in Trump has turned to frustration.


    Trump-backing farmers vent Trump pride is now 'hopelessness, frustration, anger'

    excerpt:

    Vegetable farmers Jacob and Jennifer Thomas have taken more than a 10 percent hit to their bottom line after Trump “abruptly cut $1 billion from two programs that supplied local produce and meat to schools and food banks across the country.”

    “The financial insecurity makes my depression worse,” third-generation farmer Jacob Thomas told the Post.

    Then, the administration also cut a $8,000 grant, which would have allowed them to build a new greenhouse.

    They can still take pride in Trump knowing that he's keeping the dogs and cats in Ohio are safe from being eaten by immigrants.

    It all sounded good at his 2024 campaign rallies, enough that people put him back in the White House.

    Trump's budget cuts are fun when they are damaging someone else who you don't like and you can paint your face orange like Trump's and cheer about it at a rally.

    Not so fun when they are damaging you.

    Trump doesn't cave in to Zelensky's requests like he does Putin's.


    Trump’s IRS Pick Turns Into Babbling Mess as Senator Warren Grills Him | The New Republic

    excerpt:

    "Several world leaders were shocked by how submissive Donald Trump was to Moscow’s demands following a two-hour phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    Shortly after hanging up Monday with his favorite autocrat, Trump hopped on the line with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, and a few other world leaders to update them on negotiations."

    Judge warns US deportations to South Sudan may breach court order

    excerpt:

    The Vietnamese man's spouse emailed his lawyer and said that the group of around 10 other individuals who were believed to have been deported included nationals of Laos, Thailand, Pakistan and Mexico, Reuters news agency reports.

    "Please help!" the spouse said in an email. "They cannot be allowed to do this."

    The world's youngest nation, South Sudan endured a bloody civil war soon after its independence in 2011.

    The US government's travel advisory states: "Do not travel to South Sudan due to crime, kidnapping, and armed conflict."

    Several countries have been asked by the Trump administration to accept migrant deportations.

    Earlier this month, Rwanda confirmed it was in such talks with the US, while Benin, Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Eswatini and Moldova have all been named in media reports.

    The South Sudan deportation case is the latest constitutional clash between two equally powerful branches of government.

    During his campaign, Trump said tariffs were free money coming into the U.S. from other countries.

    Now reality has struck and he's telling businesses to pay for his tariffs.


    Walmart responds to Trump's directive to 'eat the tariffs'

    excerpt:

    "Trump has long insisted that other countries pay the cost of tariffs, despite many economists saying American businesses importing foreign goods pay for tariffs and usually pass that cost on to customers to retain their profits.

    “The level of tariffs that have been proposed is pretty challenging for all retailers, for suppliers, and certainly our concern is that consumers are going to feel some of that,” Walmart’s chief financial officer and executive vice president John David Rainey said in an interview with CNBC on May 15."

    Trump violates court order with deportations.


    Judge orders Trump admin to ‘maintain custody’ of migrants deported to war-torn South Sudan

    excerpt:

    For the second time in less than two weeks, immigration lawyers have gone to federal court to try and stop the Trump administration from deporting a small group of immigrants from the United States to a war-torn country not their own.

    Immigration attorneys told the court that at least two of their clients, from Myanmar and Vietnam, were deported Tuesday morning to South Sudan in violation of a court order, and they demanded their return.

    “The Court should further restrain all flights carrying class members to South Sudan or any other third country,” the attorneys said.

    CEOs of retail businesses having trouble making up their minds whether Trump's tariffs are good or bad.

    After all the CEO donations to Trump and before the ramification became real, the tariffs were intially good and the public was told to get over the inflation effects.

    Now they're bad as reality hits CEO's.


    Why Walmart decided to say it would raise prices — and risk Trump’s fury

    excerpt:

    The backlash to tariffs picked up steam from some top executives who had lauded Trump's policies as a boon for business only months earlier. The chief executive officers of Delta Air Lines and JPMorgan Chase, companies that each gave $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund, both spoke out about how tariffs were hurting U.S. consumer spending.

    Hours before the president suspended some duties that day, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon went on Fox Business' "Mornings With Maria" show — which Trump is known to watch — and said he saw Trump's tariffs leading to a U.S. recession. It marked a sharp turnabout from his remarks in January, when he said tariffs were positive for national security and people needed to "get over it."

    Maybe Trump needs to get over his tariff wars.

    Next, Trump will be raving about fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter being incarcerated in a fictional reopened Alcatraz, escaping with shark bites, and killing the detectives who were investigating him.

    His supporters will cheer, "Yay! Trump is great!"

    After not being able to stop Putin's war on Ukraine in 24 hours (plus four months), Trump says it's not his problem anymore.


    Trump’s New Position on the War in Ukraine: Not My Problem

    excerpt:

    "Mr. Trump had famously promised during the campaign that he would bring about peace between Russia and Ukraine in 24 hours — portraying it as easy work for a master negotiator. He has since discovered it is much more difficult than he imagined, and he now says he was being “a little bit sarcastic” when he floated that timeline."
