He might as well say "Let them eat cake!" No difference!
BREAKING: Trump whines to Hannity he can’t brag about profiting off the Iran war because of “the little man with the $4 gasoline”!
In a rare moment of self-awareness, Donald Trump admitted to Sean Hannity that he’s holding back from openly celebrating huge profits from the Iran War, because Americans are getting crushed by $4-a-gallon-and-rising gas.
Trump complained:
“I don’t want to say we’re making a fortune … because if I say it, they’re going to say, ‘He forgets about the little man with the $4 gasoline.’”
And who exactly is "we" making a fortune?
We'll venture a guess and say it's Trump's billionaire buddies in the defense and oil industries who are cleaning up on government contracts, and will be happy to throw a sliver in campaign contributions and contracts to firms where his family members are "special advisors."
But he’s bummed he can’t openly brag about it because working the country full of suckers and losers are suffering at the pump as a direct result of his foreign policy disasters.
The condescension of referring to struggling, hard working Americans as “the little man” is just breathtaking.
Trump is so out of touch that he’s complaining about not being able to gloat publicly about war profits, which is what he so wants to do but is being told by his handlers to keep his fat yap shut.
The “little man” he mocks is exactly who’s getting hurt by his tariffs, wars, and failures of leadership. Instead of trying to lower costs for working families, Trump is upset that their pain is stopping him from doing his victory dance on television.
The man is literally worried about not getting a “win” out of the stupid war while families are choosing between filling up their tank and filling up their fridge. To him, it's annoying PR problem, not a real crisis hurting millions of his constituents.
The “little man with the $4 gasoline” – that’s you and us, folks – deserves a president who actually cares about their struggles, not a total douchebag who sees them as an inconvenience to his bragging rights.
If you’re disgusted by Trump’s total detachment from the lives of working Americans, like and share this post.

BREAKING: Jen Psaki just hit a MAJOR nerve with a story on Eric Trump’s China trip — and now he’s suing her.
As she does most every night on her MS Now program, Jen Psaki did a monologue on a current topic in the news. This time, however, Eric Trump lost his mind over what she had to say
.
The 42-year-old executive vice president of the Trump Organization took to X Wednesday night to threaten a lawsuit against Psaki and MS NOW after she reported on his presence alongside his father during the presidential trip to China — and connected it to a Financial Times story about a family-linked company pursuing a deal with a Chinese chipmaker tied to the Communist Party.
"I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5," Eric fumed, adding that he has "zero business interests in China. No properties, no investments, nothing!" He concluded by insisting he joined the trip purely as "a loving son who adores my father."
Sweet. But Psaki didn't make up the Financial Times reporting. She cited it.
That report describes how ALT5 Sigma — a fintech company connected to Eric and the Trump family's crypto venture, World Liberty Financial — has a memorandum of understanding to explore a deal with a Chinese computer chip manufacturer to build AI data centers. Congress has warned that the Chinese firm in question has connections to the Chinese Communist Party. Eric and his brother were photographed ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell with the ALT5 name displayed behind them.
Neither ALT5 nor the Chinese firm responded to the Financial Times for comment. The deal may or may not be real. But the reporting exists, and it raises exactly the questions Psaki raised.
And those questions don't stop there. Just last month, Eric was on Fox Business bragging that one of his companies scored a $24 million Pentagon contract. Don Jr.'s company landed a nearly $5 million Air Force contract. Both brothers are now part-owners of a drone company angling for major Pentagon deals — while their father's administration controls Pentagon spending.
All of this is happening while Trump's $10 billion IRS lawsuit seeks to shield the entire Trump family from financial audits. Forever.
Eric wants to sue Psaki for asking whether someone should check the books. That answer tells you everything.

🚨BREAKING: Lawrence O'Donnell looked America in the eye tonight and said on live TV what many are thinking about Donald Trump's profane, perverse, filthy outburst on Easter Sunday to commit war crimes.
"The 25th Amendment was written for yesterday at 8:03am."
"Once it became clear that Trump had caused a far bigger emergency by declaring one, it took just hours to rethink the claimed emergency." - It can be difficult to remove yourself from the spin machine once you're in it! 😂
Here's my post noting that Greer said the emergency wasn't the emergency Trump sold it as.

But, weren't the tarrifs going to replace income taxes and bring back manufacturing jobs? I guess Trump has to move the shells on MAGA again!

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who prefers REAL leaders like President Biden, who have true compassion and empathy for all Americans, no matter their race, religion, or ability.
Love that guy. 💙🇺🇸
At what point will incredulousness turn into revolt? This sounds like a "Let them eat cake!" moment.
The American people are apparently ok with this.
I just can’t anymore.

This is false. It was a rumor that went viral on X and TikTok.

In April 2024, Trump asked Big Oil execs for a $1 billion donation in exchange for deregulation and tax cuts.
Who helped broker Trump's dealings with Big Oil?
Doug Burgum — who is testifying today before the Senate to be Trump's secretary of the interior.
See how this works?
Now, what was that about the LA Mayor's trip out of state? 🤔

A lot of people are jumping on this, but have all votes been counted in this tally here? If a large difference remains when all are certified, it does raise some uncomfortable questions not just of the 2024 election, but the 2020 election as well.
Just doesn't have the raucous sound like a concert. Sound level is more like a business conference where the speaker is desperately trying to get you excited.

If you don't remember the insurrection, I don't remember any "assassination attempt."
It's as if Pogacar toys with his rivals! Will the last week just turn into a podium procession?
