Trump's insight that being openly corrupt makes him immune to the conventions of "political scandals" is perhaps the greatest example of his peculiar political genius.
Trump: "This building was built for peace. Nobody knew what to name it, and then Marco named it after me. I had nothing to do with it. I swear. They said, 'There's a surprise coming.' I thought they were gonna give me a lot of money or something. Maybe cash. Can always use some extra cash."

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Can we just spare a moment to think about Virginia Giuffre who didn't see justice in her lifetime. The world failed that woman so badly. Hopefully it won't fail the other victims of Epstein.

With every fibre of my being, let me say this in a loud, clear, booming voice: this should have happened when Virginia Giuffre was alive to see it.

I reckon the last time the son of a sovereign was taken into custody in Britain was the Duke of Monmouth in 1685.

Advance will merge with Restore.

Elon Musk will continue to promote Restore.

Reform will panic about Restore.

Reform will edge to the right.

The whole mess of fools will start to splinter, and I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if it didn't end with Farage forming a new party.

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.
