8 key insights from Trump's book 'The Art of the Deal' reveal how the president thinks excerpt: "I play to people's fantasies," he writes. "People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That's why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular."
ICC arrest warrant for Putin limits where Trump summit could take place – US politics live excerpt: "The White House confirmed on Wednesday that Donald Trump could meet Vladimir Putin to try to broker an end to the Russian war on Ukraine as soon as next week, but finding a neutral venue to host the summit might not be easy, given that the Russian president was indicted for war crimes in 2023 by the International Criminal Court, and so is subject to arrest in 125 countries."
Trump's been the Barnum & Bailey of politics for the past ten years. The American public is still buying it.

Trump Targets Spouses of US Citizens in Green Card Crackdown excerpt: "But since launching his White House bid more than a decade ago on a tough-on-immigration platform, Trump has repeatedly slammed family-based immigration, deriding it as “chain migration.” That’s despite first lady Melania Trump sponsoring green cards for her Slovenian-born parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs. The president’s in-laws in 2018 obtained U.S. citizenship via the very pathway he called a “disaster” that same year."
Moreover, Melania herself gained U.S. citizenship by marrying Trump and having a son by him. It's the baby-anchor approach that Trump despises.
Melania also brought her sister to the U.S. Melania’s sister quietly became legal permanent resident as Trump railed against chain migration, book says - Washington Examiner excerpt: "Melania Trump’s older sister quietly became a legal permanent resident after President Trump entered the White House, according to a new book on the first lady."

Trump demands a new census. Trump Orders New Census in Election Power Grab excerpt: “The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states,” former Republican turned anti-Trumper Ron Filipkowski wrote on X. “I knew this was coming.”
This has turned ugly. The GOP in Texas is doing a inter-census gerrymandering to try to pick up five more seats for the 2026 midterm. Now Trump apparently wants a modified census to effectively gerrymander across the country in favor of the GOP. The census also determines how federal funds are apportioned.
Video shows a rioter, pardoned by Trump and who is now a senior advisor in Trump's Department of Justice, urging Jan. 6 rioters to kill police officers. https://www.npr.org/2025/08/07/nx-s1-5493197/doj-trump-jan-6-defendant-jared-wise-capitol-riot excerpt: "Less than five years after urging rioters to "kill" police at the Capitol, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice, which has been dramatically remade under the second Trump administration. NPR has obtained police bodycam footage from multiple angles of the former defendant and current administration official, Jared Wise, berating officers and calling them "Nazi" and "Gestapo." NPR located the footage, which has not previously been published, in a review of thousands of court exhibits from Jan. 6 criminal cases, obtained through legal action by a coalition of media organizations. The Department of Justice had introduced the footage as an exhibit in Wise's trial. NPR also obtained the transcript of Wise's testimony, in which he acknowledged that he repeatedly yelled "kill 'em" as officers were being attacked and tried to explain his actions. Wise was not convicted of any crimes related to Jan. 6, due to President Trump's order to end all Capitol riot prosecutions."
At some point, trump and his sycophantic minions will just say fuck you to all court systems that remain favorable to the constitution and rule against him. The court system is looked upon by many citizens as the last avenue for stopping the lying, cheating, crooked politicians who will do ANYTHING to facilitate the right wing's authoritarian takeover of the totality of the government. Trump is dumb in many ways--but he is brilliant in following the aspiring authoritarian's playbook in what he is saying publicly about the judiciary--that they are left wing lunatics and hate this country---and of course the suck-ass slugs being nominated for judge ships nationwide. Jeanine Pirro? Holy shit! Reapportioning voting districts to gain advantages for republicans is the latest dirty trick used by the right wing cheaters. It's all going to get worse as the coming years flow by and the aspiring dictator and his joyful republican enablers take over this country in total. Who is going to be brave enough to arrest the crooked son of a bitch and throw his ass in jail where he belongs?? The odds are getting slimmer and slimmer day by day that he will ever pay a the price that he is supposed to pay.
