Trump says he wants the next Fed Chair to cut interest rates to 1%.

That’s not “economic policy,” it’s a smash and grab.

He’s not trying to help working people, he’s trying to juice the markets, loot the system, and walk away richer.👇

If it's Donanemab (Kisunla) then it is administered on a regular cycle, so it's worth tracking the periodicity of the bandages. It would also explain MRI scans which must be to see if Trump still has a brain.
Real answer: Trump receives Lecanemab (Leqembi) or Donanemab (Kisunla) via IV infusion in an effort to slow his cognitive loss due to his dementia.
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?

LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

Trump is clearly losing his touch with insults. 'Wacky Marjorie' has no zip, unlike Little Marco or Sleepy Joe.

Why not 'Mad Marge'?

Hen Harrier Susie, whose chicks were stamped to death on a Yorkshire Dales grouse moor in 2022, has been found dead on a N Pennines grouse moor with gunshot injuries.

18+ months of silence about this crime from the police & Natural England.
