Trump: “I'm going to be impeached. They're going to impeach me”

THis was an important part of the fabricated pretext "help is on the way" also hilariously why trump in public statements pretended he cared about the Iranian people.

The debt/deficit panics in the 2010s were dumb but I now sympathize with where people were coming from, they were just applying a framework to the wrong environment.
U.S. interest payments are now 3.3% of GDP, the highest level in history 🚨 🚨

Who was President in 2020?
Replying to @tradTNKristi
Not the same? Biden kept the Nimitz at sea for 341 days.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Nimitz's 341-day period began April 1, 2020, with roughly 294 of those days (about 86%) occurring under President Trump. Biden had been in office only ~46 days when the ship returned on March 7, 2021. The deployment extensions were also ordered under Trump. news.usni.org/2021/03/05/pho… globalsecurity.org/military/libra…

The most isolationist/unilateralist the Dems have had in the past half century has been Biden.
I thought the day might come when the United States ceased to be the leader of the Free World and a deterrent to tyrants. When the U.S. abandoned the West, so to speak. I admit I did not see it coming from the Republican Party and the Right--CPAC, Heritage, etc. But here we are.

Xi Jinping has already internalized the logic Trump lays out in this post: convince Trump that you’re “unthreatening and respectful,” and he’ll offer unilateral concessions and blame America’s partners for being “hostile.”

BREAKING: In a stunning move, Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to substantially reduce planned joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his “very good relationship” with Kim Jong Un and saying the exercises are “costly” and send a “totally inappropriate and hostile” signal to North Korea

Scott Galloway? The stock guru?
Scott Galloway: “I think the biggest opportunity for men right now is the trades … go into curtain hanging, soapstone marble installation, carpet cleaning” “Is that what you did ?” “Not at all. I got really depressed I was a cabinet installer at 19 and begged UCLA to let me in. Then after graduating I worked for Morgan Stanley, for my Masters, and worked in consulting” “Oh so then are your kids doing that?” “No, my oldest is a freshman at UVA”

Iran really played him for the fool that he is. Their machinations have been yielding great results.
Q: Family members of US service members are concerned about conditions on the USS Lincoln-- Trump: No they're not. That ship is moving Q: Has the deployment gone on too long? Trump: No. Not nearly long enough

Trump screwing the USN for a generation
This would be a self-inflicted wound. As it is US Navy carrier force is already in a bad place readiness-wise, as I wrote about here markurban.substack.com/p/air…

Again, this is unprecedentedly dangerous. The FBI Director is supposed to be nonpartisan and apolitical. This is not the America we once knew.
Kash Patel: I've spent 10 years working for President Trump. He reads about each and every case that we work on. He feels the pain of those that have lost loved ones. He does not let it lay aside. He takes it home with him… President Trump, you have succeeded in restoring law and order to the precipice it should be on

The U.S. is reportedly asking NATO allies to document not just their defense spending, but their political alignment with the Trump administration as part of its review of the U.S. military presence in Europe, according to reporting from Bloomberg. A questionnaire sent to NATO members asks whether governments have been publicly supportive of U.S. foreign policy, restricted U.S. military access to their bases, purchased from U.S. defense contractors, or opposed Euro-preference procurement rules. It specifically references restrictions imposed by allies on U.S. operations in the Middle East and asks whether those restrictions could be reduced or eliminated. The questionnaire comes as Washington considers major reductions to U.S. forces and wartime capabilities in Europe, with the review expected to conclude by December. Allies reportedly view the questions as an attempt to link U.S. security guarantees to political loyalty, potentially marking a significant shift from the traditional NATO model, where collective defense has been maintained despite political disagreements among members.
