907. Trump: “South Korea has agreed to pay the USA 350 Billion Dollars for a lowering of the Tariff’s charged against them by the United States. Additionally, they have agreed to buy our Oil and Gas in vast quantities, and investments into our Country by wealthy South Korean Companies and Businessmen will exceed 600 Billion Dollars. Our Military Alliance is stronger than ever before and, based on that, I have given them approval to build a Nuclear Powered Submarine, rather than the old fashioned, and far less nimble, diesel powered Submarines that they have now. A great trip, with a great Prime Minister!”
908. Reporter: “Any additional investments from China into the US?”
Trump: “They have investments and they will invest. I think they feel very strongly. They congratulated me on the tremendous success that we’ve had. He was very strong on congratulating me.”
Reporter: “But he didn’t commit to any additional investment?”
Trump: “We didn’t really discuss it.”
909. “Reporter: What will your new tariff rate on China’s goods be once you sign a deal?”
Trump: “Other than… Tariffs are remain exactly the same.”
Reporter: “55%”
Trump: “No, it was 57 and now it’s 47% because we reduced it by the fentanyl. I believe they are really taking strong action. We’ve already seen the action.”
910. Trump: “It’s easy to create government jobs. I can fake the numbers if I want but that’s not the way you build a great country. That’s what they used to do under the Biden administration, under Barack Hussein Obama. They would say, hire a lot of people so we can make our numbers look good. I do the opposite.”
911. Trump: “I (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax. Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue. It took courage to do so, and for that we are all grateful. MAGA!!!”
912. “Former FBI Agent Walter Giardina is a DIRTY COP! He should be, along with Deranged Jack Smith, the sinister team of Lisa Monaco and Andrew Weissmann, Liddle’ Jay Bratt, Norm Eisen and his FAKE Charity, CREW, Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, Thomas Windom, who dreamt up the corrupt J-6 Witch Hunt, should be investigated, immediately. They are a disgrace to our Nation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
913. Cruz: “I am, right now, calling on the House of Representatives to impeach Judge Boasberg. Mark my words: there will be accountability for these partisan zealots who sought to corrupt the DOJ and judiciary to attack their enemies.”
914. DHS: “Under the Biden Administration FEMA was weaponized into a political tool that discriminated against Trump supporters, who were hit by natural disasters. FEMA employees deliberately avoided houses displaying support for President Trump and the Second Amendment, illegally collected and stored information about survivors’ political beliefs, and failed to report their malicious behavior. We are TAKING ACTION to guarantee this NEVER happens again, and punishing those responsible.”

914. Bash: “Even Josh Hawley says you should move money around to feed people. Why not consider that?”
Mike Johnson: “Because if you deviate from the goal of reopening the entire government, Chuck Schumer and the radicals over there will continue to play games. If you do just part of this, it will reduce the pressure for them to do all of it.”
915. Rollins: “That if you are in a position where you cannot feed your family, and you are relying on that $187 a month for an average family in the SNAP program, we have failed you.”

916. Bessent: “I’m gonna break the news: Chinese have agreed to buy 12 million metric tons of soybeans during this season and 25 million tons per year for the next three years... Our great soybean farmers who the Chinese used as political pawns-- that’s off the table. They should prosper in the years to come. They backed President Trump and they knew that he had their back.”
917. Eric Schmitt: “The justice system was weaponized against Republicans in a way we have never seen before. We should have Watergate-style hearings on this for MONTHS. People must be held accountable—resignations, firings, arrests. Otherwise, this will happen again.”
918. Marsha Blackburn: “Earlier this month, we discovered one of the worst abuses of government power in our nation’s history. No American should be spied on because of their political beliefs, and there needs to be a reckoning for Jack Smith and every Biden official who was involved in this. “
919. Claudia Tenney: “The Democrat Party is now controlled, as I said, by the Marxist activists, dark money donors. An anti-American ideology is dominating this. They would rather destroy the system than to lose power.”
920. Adam Smith: “This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It’s an enormous expansion of power.”
921. UN Moderator: “The Permanent Representative of the United States not only lies and strays substantially from the topic, but also expresses himself in a rude and arrogant manner against your Presidency and against the dignity of this Assembly and the Member States. He does so with uncivilized, crude, and coarse behavior that is not acceptable in this distinguished and democratic forum. Mr. Waltz, this is the General Assembly of the United Nations, not a Signal chat nor the House of Representatives.”

923. Bessent: “China said they were going to put a rare-earth licensing regime on the entire world. And President Trump as the leader of the free world got this delayed by one year.”
Ingraham: “What happens after one year?”
Bessent: “We’ll be back at the table and we’ll get another delay.”
924. Comer: “Not one Biden White House staffer could get their story straight. Every witness told @GOPoversight a different version of the pardon process. Not one could prove Joe Biden approved anything. These unauthorized executive actions should be invalid.”
Donald has posted a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on the satirical website Dunning-Kruger Times. The site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”
That is so beautiful!!! And MAGA loyalists were busy celebrating the very alternative news:
Melissa Redpill - Freedom Force on X, Nov 9, 2025
Obama’s crying…
Doge halted their yearly payment of $2.5 million for royalties linked to Obamacare… He will have to pay back all $40 million plus no telling what else he’s stolen.
The replies to this tweet is a mixture of: "Keep spreading the light of truth!"
"Can’t wait to see him held accountable."
"They have robbed is blind"
and:
"Why would he cry about a satirical website that you're too dumb to know isnt true?" "Thanks for proving that you actually are as dumb as you look, Melissa."

In a preliminary review of 6 states, we found those states improperly using federal tax dollars for their allegedly state-funded program and providing coverage to individuals, including some with criminal records of murder and assault.
Those states are:
CA - $1,310,032,549
DC - $2,114,628
IL - $29,778,645
WA - $2,367,194
CO - $1,506,743
OR - $5,404,368
We notified the states, and many have begun refunding the money. But what if we had never asked?
Having followed the Trump administration closely for 292 days and cataloguing thousands of lies, illegal and immoral actions, and a decided lurch toward authoritarianism, I’m bringing this project to a close.
When I started, I was expecting to take only a few minutes each day finding one or two outrageous quips by Trump and noting them. I did not expect an entire cabinet full of hard right billionaires who know nothing about why the US has the social safety nets it has, sparse as they may be, and railing against them as socialist, Marxist, and Communist.
I did not expect so many shameless lies from politicians who forget that the Web is an incredible resource for ferreting out the truth.
What began as a supposedly straightforward task to document the occasional lie and hyperbolic post on social media has turned into a job that consumes nearly two hours a day. It's also rather depressing. So for the sake of my time and my overall mental health, I've decided to stop work on this.
It certainly displays the ◊◊◊◊-show this administration has become.

Trump issues pardons for Rudy Giuliani, Sydney Powell and others involved in 2020 fake elector scheme
The White House announced late Sunday evening that Donald Trump had issued pardons for members of his 2020 campaign legal team, including Rudy Giuliani, Kenneth Chesebro and Sydney Powell, for their involvement in a scheme to alter the slates of electors chosen by states that voted against the Republican nominee in that year’s presidential election.
A statement announcing a list of 77 people who were pardoned was tweeted out late Sunday evening, at 10:54 p.m. local time, by Trump’s “clemency czar” Ed Martin.
