Trump's Second Term

Mike! said:
Once upon a time, some 30 years ago, I was in charge of arranging a fireworks show for our local community. At that time, a quality, professional show would cost about a thousand dollars a minute. We had a budget of $20,000, which bought us a nice 20 minute show.

Given this is Trump, it's a sure bet this will be put on by one of his shady pals, and given his recent track record, will likely end in disaster, and since it involves fireworks, I won't be surprised if it also ends in an unintended explosion as well.

White House attempts to exert influence on a body designed to be a check on presidential power.

New York Times said:
June 28: The White House sought to influence an independent body, the Merit Systems Protection Board, whose purpose is to protect civil servants from politically motivated dismissal. This raises concerns about executive interference in an institution intended to act as an impartial check on presidential power. The resulting board ruling adopted an expansive interpretation of presidential authority, potentially weakening long-standing civil service protections and making it easier to replace career officials with political loyalists, thereby reducing the independence of the federal bureaucracy.

Trump threatens Iran’s existence amid fragile ceasefire [The Hill]

The Hill said:
June 28: Trump again threatened Iran's existence on his Truth Socuical Platform. He wrote: "United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!” and" “It is very possible that they will never learn! There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!”. The ceasefire between the US and Iran has been fragile and military strikes have been carried out again by both sides.

Again, Trump said nobody left his speech. Again, that wasn’t true [CNN]

CNN said:
June 28: President Donald Trump posted on social media on Thursday about the speech he gave the day prior to kick off the Great American State Fair in Washington, DC: “Everybody stayed right until the end of my Speech because they loved hearing about a truly successful America.”. This assertion ws untrue, as there are clear videos of hundreds of people leaving during his speech. While it is quite normal for people to leave speeches early, this is another instance of President Trump using his position to state untrue things for propaganda reasons.

Trump administration is attempting to rush through changes to sales of leased public lands.

The Guardian said:
June 29: The Trump administration is attempting to shrink public comment periods for fossil fuel leasing on federal land. At present, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), part of the interior department, must give the public 30 days to weigh in on which tracts of land will be made available in a lease sale. Officials must also draft National Environmental Policy Act documents for each sale, providing an additional comment period of no less than 30 days. Once notice for a lease sale is published, BLM must provide a 30-day “protest period” to allow for additional public input,” amounting to at least 90 days of public participation in total. If the revisions are finalized, the need for those first two public comment periods would be eliminated completely, and protest periods would last just 10 days instead of 30.

Overturning almost a century of precedent, US Supreme Court rules the president is allowed to fire leaders of independent agencies or commissions.

The Guardian said:
June 29: The US Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled that Trump can fire leaders of independent agencies or commissions. This decision, which was focused around the case of the firing of the Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter, ends 90 years of court precedent and shifts power from Congress to the president. And by giving him more control over independent agencies this could significantly change the federal government’s structure. Trump on Truth Social celebrated the decision by saying: “This Decision was long sought by United States Presidents, dating all the way back to the 1930s. It is such an Honor to be the sitting President who won this Historic and Unprecedented Ruling, one of the most important ever given with respect to Presidential Powers.”

Trump Bought Hundreds of Stocks the Day Before He Paused Tariffs and Sparked a Historic Rally (Sludge, July 1, 2026)
The day before President Trump announced a 90-day pause on his sweeping tariffs, sending markets exploding higher, his investment accounts quietly purchased hundreds of stocks near the market low, trades that were not publicly disclosed until more than a year later despite federal disclosure requirements.
The purchases, finally disclosed in a 927-page annual financial disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics on Monday, reveal a churn of transactions that was quietly playing out all last year: Trump's accounts were actively trading stocks throughout 2025 while he was making policy decisions that moved markets, and the public had no idea.

Trump: "They didn't have people that didn't, couldn't, had no idea where they were. They didn't have people that couldn't walk up the steps. See those steps? *crowd is silent* They didn't have people that had no idea where the hell they were."

Obama!

Jessica: The fact that you’re ok with Trump making 2.2 billion is one of the most ludicrous things—-

Gutfeld: He was making billions before and he’ll make billions after. How much did money did the Clintons and the Obamas make?

Bankrupted casinos

Meijer: Just look at the amount of countries where like the leaders are now on the Forbes billionaire list. Not because they've ever had a private sector job in their life, but because they are able to literally steal everything from their people.

Setmayer: That sounds an awful lot like Trump.

Meijer: He’s had a job! He’s built businesses!
