https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/22/us/politics/trump-administration-ambassadors-posts.html excerpt: "Many of the ambassadors were told in recent days to leave their posts by mid-January. They are all foreign service officers who had been appointed to their positions by the Biden administration and confirmed by the Senate. A standard tour is three to four years. The union representing career diplomats said this was the first time that such a mass recall had taken place of career diplomats serving as ambassadors or chiefs of mission."
Trump announces plan to build up to 25 new ‘Golden Fleet’ battleships Kellie Meyer Updated: Dec 23, 2025 / 07:03 AM CST https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/trump-announce-shipbuilding-initiative/ excerpt: "The president said the vessels would be equipped with hypersonic weapons, state-of-the-art rail guns, advanced laser systems and cruise missiles."
All powered by steam from coal. During his first term Trump scorned the use of electromagnetic launchers and said he wanted to go back to steam.
So now it's a 'Golden Fleet' of 'Trump Class' battleships. He already started 'Trump Gold Card' visas (with his face on the gold-colored card) where a person pays $1 million to the U.S. government for a pay-for-play fast-path to full-time residency in the U.S. He also started 'Trump Accounts' government investments for children. He has decorated the White House profusely with gold.

Can the Kennedy Center Actually Be Renamed? Unpacking the Legality of Adding President Donald Trump's Name to the Memorial excerpt: "This morning, the State Department renamed the former Institute of Peace to reflect the greatest dealmaker in our nation's history," a post shared by the State Department on X read. "Welcome to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. The best is yet to come."
Trump boasts that he will make the biggest battleships ever. Trump announces new "Trump class" of Navy battleships - CBS News excerpt: "The president said the U.S. is "desperately in need of ships" because some of the United States' ships "have gotten old and tired and obsolete." The Trump administration is trying to address U.S. shipbuilding shortfalls through multiple administrations, and beef up the United States' shipbuilding supply chain."
Judge orders administration to submit plans for return of migrants deported to El Salvador prison under AEA excerpt: "By granting the Motion, this Court is declaring that Plaintiffs should not have been removed in the manner that they were, with virtually no notice and no opportunity to contest the bases of their removal, in clear contravention of their due-process rights," the judge wrote.
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/...g-at-a-perilous-moment-for-his-party-00704170 excerpt: “It is coming at a time when the main topic is affordability, affordability. This is running contrary to that in my opinion,” said Tim Ennis, a power market analyst at GridStatus, a website that tracks wholesale electricity markets. “If you want to make the argument that these projects are too expensive and we shouldn’t build more, that’s one thing. But these projects are in the water.”
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/...g-at-a-perilous-moment-for-his-party-00704170 excerpt: “President Trump has been clear: wind energy is the scam of the century,” said Taylor Rogers, a White House spokesperson, repeating a favorite administration talking point. “For years, Americans have been forced to pay billions more for the least reliable sources of energy.”
Trump's officials are mentally deranged. It's impossible to have a meaningful, rational argument with them.
Trump's halt of wind power projects in the name of national security concerns stuns even some Republicans. He's doing it at a time of rising electricity costs that he says he will lower https://www.politico.com/news/2025/...g-at-a-perilous-moment-for-his-party-00704170 excerpt: "The president’s decision to pause construction of five offshore wind projects capable of powering nearly 2.7 million homes along the East Coast marked an escalation of a yearlong effort to shut down the industry, jolting the political debate surrounding rising electricity prices."
Judge orders administration to submit plans for return of migrants deported to El Salvador prison under AEA excerpt: "His attorney Linette Tobin claimed Barrios was falsely accused in part because of his tattoos, which showed a crown on top of a soccer ball with a rosary and the word "Dios," meaning "God." Reyes Barrios said the tattoo was modeled after the Real Madrid soccer team logo."
That's Trump's proof for someone supposedly being an invading alien enemy, justification for invoking the Alien Enemies Act during a 'war' that hasn't been declared by Congress, and deporting people without due process.
Judge Boasberg orders Trump to formulate plan to allow people he deported to El Salvador to contest their designation under the Alien Enemies Act either by being returned to the U.S. or being allowed to contest remotely. Trump has claimed that they were members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua that he says is a "hybrid criminal state" that is invading the United States. Judge orders administration to submit plans for return of migrants deported to El Salvador prison under AEA excerpt: "Boasberg has certified a class representing all migrants sent to the prison and says the government must submit its plans to allow them to contest their designation under the Alien Enemies Act by Jan. 5."
Now those thousands of people trump laid off can rejoice because the money that would have helped them take care of their families --is gonna build some BIG, BEAUTIFUL BATTLESHIPS!!! ( we don't need to feed no stinkin'l kds)
Trump makes noises and hand motions while describing McDonald's fish food at public event. He's says there isn't enough tartar sauce. Trump, 79, Makes Weird Noise as He Whines About McDonald’s excerpt: “No matter who you are, everybody loves something at McDonald’s. There’s always something to have,” the 79-year-old said at one point, before resorting to onomatopoeic sound effects to support his point. “I like the fish. Khhhhh. I like it,” the president, famously a fan of the chain’s Filet-O-Fish sandwich, declared, making a jerky motion with his hand as he spluttered out the mystery noise.
Trump hit the McDonald’s stage, making plane noises like a toddler who just discovered sound effects, and lost the plot halfway through his own war story. ‘Is He Having an Episode?’: Trump Goes Off the Deep End as He Slurs Through Gibberish and Acts Out a Plane Crash In Speech
