    Trump needs to find photoshopped MS-13 tattoos on her that he saw on a truther forum or Fox to use as an excuse.

    Trump conceded to China after he was told his tariffs would hurt his followers the most.


    White House eases China’s tariff after learning it would hurt ‘Trump’s people’ most

    excerpt:

    "While Trump was reluctant to lower tariffs against Beijing too quickly, several White House staffers – including Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and other aides – warned him the penalties were placing his own supporters in danger, sources told the Washington Post.

    That warning prompted marathon negotiations with China this past weekend in Geneva, Switzerland, with the two at-odds countries announcing they would suspend their respective tariffs for 90 days as negotiations continued."

    Fire now, worry later.

    excerpt:

    The dispute over the library’s leadership has emerged as a fresh test for the separation of powers — and for how far Republicans on Capitol Hill will let Trump go when their own prerogatives are on the line. It’s especially stark given that the library, located across the street from the Capitol, is where lawmakers get their research, enjoy elegant dinners, host meetings and escort visitors into the ornate Reading Room. That’s not to mention its name.

    “It’s the Library of Congress, after all, not the library of the president,” said Sen. Alex Padilla of California, the top Rules Committee Democrat. He is among numerous congressional Democrats who are raising alarms about a potential Trump takeover of the library and what it could mean.

    Trump backlash.


    The Trump Effect Is Here: Democrats Sweep to Victory in Historic Upset

    excerpt:

    "The Donald Trump effect struck in Nebraska Tuesday night as Democrats snatched another public office away from Republicans by tying them to the president’s disastrous agenda.

    The people of Omaha elected John Ewing Jr. to be the city’s first Black mayor, in a surprising defeat for Jean Stothert, the city’s three-term Republican mayor who outraised Ewing by nearly double, according to The Washington Post."

    Another event: Trump squandering a few billion gallons of water from reservoirs after the CA fires were already extinguished (that the water release wouldn't have helped anyway) that farmers needed for summer 2025 because he wanted to win an ego battle in his mind about his supposed 'water wars' that he thinks he won.


    ‘Ridiculous blunder’: Trump wades into California’s water wars – and strikes some of his strongest supporters
    Billions of gallons of irrigation water were wasted under Trump’s orders in what now appears to be a political stunt

    Trump Drains California’s Water for a Photo Op After Wildfires

    excerpt:

    "Local water issues likely hampered Southern California firefighters. But they had nothing to do with state-led water rationing. A reservoir serving Pacific Palisades sat empty because it had been drained for maintenance. And the hurricane-force Santa Ana winds that whipped the firestorms also kept firefighting aircraft out of the sky, overtaxing reliance on municipal water to fight the flames.

    But such nuance is lost on the 47th president."

    It's another manifestation of the mental illness of Trump.

    Yet some people will praise him for it, like they jump up and down and cheer for fictional serial killer Hannibal Lecter every time Trump praises him at one of his rallies (usually around the time he reads the Snake Poem).

    Can you even imagine the Republican reaction had Biden or Obama accepted a $400 million gift from another country?

    Jeez, there would have been news bulletins every half-hour.

    Film at 11 :eek:

    Milwaukee judge arrested by Trump says she is immune from prosecution for official acts.


    Judge Arrested by Trump Administration Fights Back With Trump’s Own Immunity Case

    excerpt:

    A Milwaukee judge who was arrested for allegedly shielding an undocumented immigrant from ICE arrest has argued that she can’t be prosecuted based on the same case that granted President Donald Trump broad immunity for “official” acts.

    The FBI arrested Hannah Dugan last month after she allegedly told agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement that they needed a warrant to arrest an undocumented immigrant who had appeared in her courtroom on a misdemeanor charge.

    The U.S. Supreme Court giving a president immunity raises the issue of whether it should also be granted to other government officials, such as legislators and judges. If not, then why not? Does the president of the U.S. have a unique attribute that makes him or her the sole person to be granted immunity?


    Judge Arrested by Trump Administration Fights Back With Trump’s Own Immunity Case

    excerpt:

    "Dugan’s motion argued that the same standard should apply not just to the president, but to judges.

    “Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset,” the motion said."

    Trump lands in UEA, the final leg of his self-enrichment trip to the wealthiest countries in the Mideast.

    World leaders treat Trump like a toddler who needs a new shiny toy.


    Trump compared to 'toddler' whose 'latest shiny toy' is actually 'very dangerous'

    excerpt:

    "It may be risky, but it’s also pretty pathetic that we essentially have world leaders treating the president of the United States like a toddler who needs to be placated with a shiny toy," she explained before noting the $400 million jet that Qatar is dangling in front of the president and adding it is a "really sinister and frankly pathetic about this way of operating in the world."

    She continued, "It also becomes the cover for something potentially very dangerous because it means that the government of the United States, rather than thinking about its broad interests and peace and security in the world, is really catering to the venal and frankly childish desires of one very immature man."
