Trump's Second Term

At the absolute very best it is just figures of what those countries were going to buy from the US anyway. So Trump & Co are taking credit for the tide coming in.

But they are claiming this pile of bills goes into a fund that Trump will personally manage. I suspect that is just a lot of words for saying...
BRIBE!

*flips through the pages of the Emolument Clause...* Gotta be something in here...
 
Don still on about not getting a thank you for food aid to Gaza

REPORTER: Marjorie Taylor Greene has said that what's taking place in Gaza is a genocide?

TRUMP: Oh, it's terrible what's occurring there. Yeah. It's a terrible thing. People are very hungry. You know, the US gave $60m for food. And it's a shame because I don't see the results of it. Nobody said thank you.

Even if you take at face value that "[t]he president has now ended" all those conflicts personally, it's pretty telling that the whole point of her little speech sems to be not that that's a good thing for a President to be doing, but that this one should get the cookie he's always lusted after for doing it. Even stopping war is a battle that he must be seen to have won- everything truly is a transaction with a winner and loser by it.

I notice she has stopped wearing that big cross during these press conferences. Probably due to it inflicting burns.

Typical Trump- the "results of it" being that hungry people got fed isn't as important to him as the "shame" that nobody told him thanks for not letting us starve.

President Kennedy had the Rose Garden, located just outside of the Oval Office, redesigned to use it as a venue for outdoor ceremonies. The East Garden was also redesigned during the Kennedy administration, but not completed until the Johnson administration. It was designed to feature both seasonal flowers and hedges. Lady Bird Johnson then dedicated the East Garden to Jacqueline Kennedy. White House archives - George W. Bush

And instead of shouting about this (not to mention all of Trump & Co.’s relentless daily onslaught on reality) from every rooftop the ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ Democrats just fluff their pillows and nap another day away.

Trump says US will set 15% tariff on South Korean imports under new deal​

DEVIL IN THE DETAILS​

South Korea seems to have avoided the worst, agreed Cheong In-kyo, a former South Korean trade minister. But he also said opinions about the deal could change if the $350 billion was not well spent.
It was not clear what the investment would involve, where the financing would come from, over what time frame deals would be implemented and to what extent their terms would be binding. Trump said additional South Korean investments would be announced later.

Of the total, $150 billion is aimed at a shipbuilding partnership, while $200 billion would include chips, nuclear power, batteries, and biotechnology, Kim Yong-beom, the South Korean presidential office's policy chief, told a briefing.
He said "ambiguity is good", while adding that negotiators had ensured there would be safeguards over how the funds were used.
Existing investment plans by South Korean companies would be part of the fund, according to another presidential official.

U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a post on X that 90% of the profits from the $350 billion fund were "going to the American people."
Kim said South Korea understands that to mean that some profits could be reinvested.
The energy purchases would include LNG, LPG, crude oil, and a small amount of coal, he added. "This is within our usual import volume," he said, noting it might lead to a "slight shift" in the country's mix of imports from the Middle East to more American sources.
Lutnick said the energy purchases would happen "over the next 3.5 years."
The tariff rate on South Korean autos would also be 15%, Lutnick said, which is down from the current rate of 25%. Lutnick also said semiconductor and pharmaceutical exports would not be treated more harshly than those from other countries. Steel, aluminum, and copper were not covered by the new deal.

South Korea also agreed to invest $350 billion in the United States in projects selected by Trump and to purchase energy products worth $100 billion.

So basically, as noted previously here, the orange TACO rooster taking credit for the dawn. Typical Trump.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History has removed all references to Donald Trump’s two impeachments from its presidential impeachment exhibit—following direct pressure from the White House, according to multiple credible sources.

The previous exhibit included Trump alongside Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton. But as of July 2025, that reference is gone. The updated display now claims that “only three presidents have seriously faced removal”—completely erasing Trump from one of the most consequential chapters of modern political history.

Museum insiders say the change was part of a broader content “review” initiated after Trump’s team pressured the Smithsonian, threatened museum leadership, and pushed for ideological purges across federal cultural institutions.

WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN AGE ✨

Thanks to the leadership of @POTUS, the U.S. has generated over $150B in tariff revenues within the past 6 months

Or, to put it another way, thanks to Trump's incessant meddling, in just 6 months US businesses have had to pay the government an extra $150B in taxes to import the stuff they then sell on to you. Do you imagine that's consequence-free magic money?
