Trump's Second Term

The White House says

"The Declaration of Independence was written in ENGLISH!
Our Nation’s historic governing documents have all been written in English.
It is therefore long past time that English is declared as the official language of the United States."

The constitution for the state of Colorado was written in English, German, and Spanish. Will Colorado be expelled from the USA?

Now, Zelenskyy will have no choice but to back down and accept Trump's terms. But here's the genius part-Trump is actually protecting Ukraine without dragging the U.S. into war.

By negotiating a mineral deal, Trump ensures that Americans will be involved in Ukraine's mining industry. This prevents Russia from launching an invasion, because attacking Ukraine would mean endangering American lives-something that would force the U.S. to respond.

Trump played both sides like a master chess player. In the end, Zelenskyy will have no choice but to concede, because without U.S. support, Ukraine cannot win a prolonged war against Russia. And once U.S. companies have mining operations in Ukraine, Putin will be unable to attack without triggering massive international consequences.

Don't underestimate Donald Trump. In this game of chess, he's 10 moves ahead of everyone.

Mitch McConnell Slams Trump as “Unfit for Office” and Criticizes MAGA Ideology

In a rare and forthright assessment of his party, the outgoing Senate Republican Leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, asserted that former President Donald Trump has severely undermined the Republican Party’s competitiveness. Citing excerpts from Michael Tackett’s latest biography as reported by CNN, McConnell offered a damning critique of both Trump and the broader MAGA movement, dismissing it as “completely wrong.”

McConnell’s remarks underscore his belief that Trump’s impact has steered the GOP away from the traditional principles it once embraced. Reflecting on the events of January 6, 2021, he labeled the day’s violence a “shocking occurrence” that serves as a stark reminder of Trump’s unsuitability for office. “I think Trump was the biggest factor in changing the Republican Party from what Ronald Reagan envisioned, and he wouldn’t even recognize it today,” McConnell observed.

As he nears the conclusion of his 18-year leadership tenure in the Senate, McConnell expressed concern about the direction in which Trump’s influence is steering the party. He argued that Trump appeals to those who feel left behind in a system that rewards success, suggesting that the former president provides a narrative that excuses individuals for their lack of achievement. “He’s tapping into the sentiment of people who haven’t reached the same level of success as others, offering them a way to rationalize their struggles by casting blame on those who are thriving,” McConnell explained.

The senator also lamented the fact that roughly half of Republican voters now align with Trump’s views, moving away from the party’s long-held priorities such as free trade and comprehensive immigration reform. “Unfortunately, about half of the Republicans in the country believe whatever he says,” he added.

Recalling the fallout from the 2020 election, McConnell characterized Trump as erratic and questioned his intelligence and temperament. “He’s not very smart, irascible, nasty—essentially embodying every trait one wouldn’t want in a leader,” McConnell stated bluntly.

Moreover, the biography titled The Price of Power: How Mitch McConnell Mastered the Senate, Changed America, and Lost His Party reveals an emotional side of the veteran senator. McConnell was reportedly moved to tears when addressing his staff following the Capitol attack on January 6, expressing deep sorrow for the ordeal they endured by saying, “You are my family, and I hate the fact that you had to go through this.”

As McConnell prepares to step down, his unvarnished reflections paint a critical picture of a Republican Party in turmoil, grappling with its identity as Trump’s long-lasting influence continues to dominate its course.

BASH: You voted to approve Marco Rubio's nomination to be secretary of state. Did you make the right choice? CHRIS MURPHY: Nope. It was a mistake. It was a mistake. I think a lot of us thought Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Trump on an issue like this.

The _____ Administration is planning to remove govt. spending from GDP calculations in order to mask the negative effects of DOGE on the US GDP.

“You know, that governments historically have messed with GDP,” Lutnick said on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “They count government spending as part of GDP. So I’m going to separate those two and make it transparent.”

Doing so could potentially complicate or distort a fundamental measure of the U.S. economy’s health. Government spending is traditionally included in the GDP because changes in taxes, spending, deficits and regulations by the government can impact the path of overall growth. GDP reports already include extensive details on government spending, offering a level of transparency for economists.

The Trump administration may exclude government spending from GDP, obscuring the impact of DOGE cuts - WTOP News

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that government spending could be separated from gross domestic product reports in response to questions about whether the spending cuts pushed by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency could possibly cause an economic downturn.
