Reports say Trump turned down a $50B offer from Ukraine to buy U.S. military gear. That’s a huge deal to just walk away from by someone who is evidently so consumed by making money for the U.S.

Makes you wonder - what could be driving that decision?

When he says “home-growns”, he’s talking about US citizens. He wants Bukeke to build more torture prisons in El Salvador for Americans. Not me saying it, Trump saying it. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Trump wants to build gulags to house his political opponents. It's always where this was going.
Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.”

🚨 NEWS: The White House confirms the tariff on Chinese imports is now 145%—not 125%.

Reminder: tariffs are taxes on imported goods, which means Americans end up paying more.

Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later.

Got that? Not. A. Crime.”

It is a factually inaccurate and totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ and are ‘criminals’

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:

1. 1929 (the Great Depression)

2. 1987 (Black Monday)

3. 2008 (the Great Recession)

4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY

And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.
