Trump not as popular with some right-wing populist autocrats.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant

excerpt:

“This is a security breach that actually has high consequences, and it needs immediate and further review by the Secret Service and DHS, and other law enforcement partners,” said Jonathan Wackrow, a CNN law enforcement analyst and former Secret Service agent.

“If necessary, the Secret Service will need to make operational changes on how they deal with these types of private events moving forward,” Wackrow told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on “The Source.”

 

Statement by judge about Trump shutting down Voice of America:


“In short, the defendants had no method or approach towards shutting down USAGM that this Court can discern. They took immediate and drastic action to slash USAGM, without considering its statutorily or constitutionally required functions as required by the plain language of the EO, and without regard to the harm inflicted on employees, contractors, journalists, and media consumers around the world. It is hard to fathom a more straightforward display of arbitrary and capricious actions than the Defendants’ actions here.”

 

Musk thinks he solved his perceived issues of the government in just a couple months.

Now he might be back once in a while just to make sure the perceived problems don't return.

Hegseth orders makeup studio installed at Pentagon

excerpt:

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently ordered modifications to a room next to the Pentagon press briefing room to retrofit it with a makeup studio that can be used to prepare for television appearances, multiple sources told CBS News.

The price tag for the project was several thousand dollars, according to two of the sources, at a time when the administration is searching for cost-cutting measures."

 

Warning signs for Trump as pessimistic outlook on the economy grows among Americans

excerpt:

“Everyone's going to be happy," Trump told reporters on Wednesday. “We're going to make a lot of money for our people. We'll be able to lower taxes substantially, and we're going to be proud of ourselves. We're not going to be a laughing stock that got taken advantage of by virtually every country in the world."

 

Trump is upset because he thinks Zelensky made a remark critical of his buddy Putin.

All Putin did was invade, overthrow, and occupy Crimea and the eastern part of Ukraine over an eleven year period.

Zelensky did something much worse,. He made a factual statement that the land belongs to Ukraine and that Putin isn't entitled to it.

 

Trump speaks vaguely and with innuendo.

It sounds like he's implying that Ukraine didn't put up a good enough fight when Putin took over Crimea and, therefore, Putin is entitled to keep Crimea.

 

More rope-a-dope tactics by Trump.


‘That ends now’: Judge overseeing Abrego Garcia case knocks Trump administration for repeated stonewalling

excerpt:

“For weeks, Defendants have sought refuge behind vague and unsubstantiated assertions of privilege, using them as a shield to obstruct discovery and evade compliance with this Court’s orders,” Xinis wrote. “Defendants have known, at least since last week, that this Court requires specific legal and factual showings to support any claim of privilege. Yet they have continued to rely on boilerplate assertions. That ends now.”

excerpt:

"Trump's 14 remaining co-defendants in Georgia could still see trial in the next few years. But if Willis is disqualified from the case for good by the Georgia Supreme Court, Kreis says it is unlikely anyone will be appointed to take over the prosecution.

"If Fani Willis is removed and none of the co-defendants are ever brought to trial, I think this will be a real failure and a real mark of shame for the DA's office, the criminal justice system in Georgia and for our constitutional principles more broadly," he said.

Most Republicans, including the president, have praised the prosecution's unraveling as a triumph of justice. A framed image of Trump's Fulton County mug shot now hangs just outside the Oval Office. And GOP lawmakers in Congress and the Georgia Senate have continued their own investigations of Willis."

 

People still want to invest. The stock market has a rally every time Trump backs down on one of his numerous economic threats against other countries.

Trump is a constant obstruction to moving forward with the economy.

The voters should have recognized his deep-rooted mental issues that were worsening instead of fantasizing that he would take them back to economy of 2017 or the 1950's.

 

Musk is a good example of how to ruin businesses with a personal attitude that is aggressive and anal to people. After seeing his massive self-inflicted damage onto his businesses, he finally reached his tipping point this week and said that he's essentially stepping down from DOGE after having his fun at wrecking other people's lives.

Trump is the same but on an international scale. He's afflicted with psychological issues even worse than Musk.

Trump may never fully reach the tipping point that Musk did. He can be expected to continue with a never-ending pursuit of racing the world to the cliff and then backing away at the last second that supposedly will achieve something that will stop (what he sees in his mind) the world laughing at the U.S. It's like some personal flaw of lack of self-dignity that he has inside himself that he continues to project onto the world and in a very damaging fashion.

Noem's bag and purse are worth about $5,000.

She was carrying $3,000 cash in the purse.

$8,000 total.

Plus all the money for the Secret Service that didn't notice the theft (and the guy on the roof with the assault weapon in July 2024)..

 

Trump tries to cripple Democrats' campaign funding program.


Trump takes executive action targeting ActBlue, the main Democratic fundraising platform

 

https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/24/trump-to-target-actblue-in-presidential-memorandum-00307251

excerpt:

"In a shot at ActBlue, the left’s major online donation platform, President Donald Trump plans to sign a presidential memorandum on Thursday that he will cast as cracking down on foreign contributions in American elections, according to a person familiar with the policy and granted anonymity to discuss not-yet-public details."

 

Trump's two buddies, Parnas and Fruman, were convicted of acting as unregisted foreign actors who funneled foreign money into Trump's campaign illegally. Both served prison terms.

Trump is still lying that he doesn't know them, even though he did photo-ops at the White House standing right next to them in a planned small group photo.
