The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board panned President Donald Trump’s emerging alliances with hostile nations China and Russia against U.S. allies. “It’s hard to know what President Trump is up to at any one moment because he operates so much on tactical impulse. But he has long coveted grand bargains with Russia and China, and that may be his motivation now as he hardens his hostility to Ukraine and Europe and courts a Yalta 2 summit with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping,” the board opined. The WSJ was quick to point out that the Yalta analogy doesn’t even apply because the original team of the first Yalta summit, Stalin and Churchill were U.S. allies in 1945. But the trio do resemble Trump’s plan in the way they seek to “ carve up the globe ,” according to the WSJ, and that is “the danger with what Mr. Trump says he’s open to now.” “As we wrote before the 2024 election, this was one of our main fears for his second term,” said the board, pointing out that Putin has floated a meetin...

Power brokers exploit Trump’s dwindling attention span behind closed doors

Image
The president is demented . It's why he lashed out at a reporter today in the Oval Office. Donald Trump said: "Quiet. Quiet ! What's wrong with you? Are you a sick person?" It's also why he acts like there is no future. With the prospect looming over him of a US Congress controlled by the Democrats, Donald Trump is behaving like time is running out. In the last week, he has lifted sanctions on Russian oil, sabotaged Ukraine, and "waived" news laws designed to punish Vladimir Putin. The devil gets his due. And the due date has come.That might sound like a good thing, but a demented, futureless president is dangerous. Consider that right now, before the midterms, Trump has the incentive to end the war against Iran. Prices are extortionate. The solution is restoring the flow of oil. But there may be no such incentive after November. As Cole Bucy and Nate Swanson wrote in Foreign Policy last month, Trump "may no longer feel burdened to pretend to be ...

Trump's flirty comments with men reveals GOP's hypocrisy: analysis

Image
President Donald Trump is getting away with flirty comments that would have tanked a Democratic leader like President Barack Obama, according to a prominent lawyer and critic of the president. After reviewing in detail his appreciation of the male physiques of Republicans like Ohio Sen. Jon Husted, Georgia Rep. Mike Collins and Georgia gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson, George Conway pointed out the president is avoiding questions about his sexual orientation because of a partisan double standard. "Let’s stop for a second," Conway told Republican consultant Rick Wilson . "Let’s just stop in here for a second. This is the... He did this twice this week, where he’s talking about... He’s in Ohio... And he’s talking about Senator Husted’s a - -. And, you know, he’s on top of all the like, oh, good looking guy. You know, he talked about Arnold Palmer’s wanger in the 24th. Talk to me. Talk to me." Wilson responded, "I think one thing you’re seeing here, Trump’s ...

'Speechless' MAGA turns on Trump over 'ridiculous' distraction scheme

Image
President Donald Trump has attempted to unilaterally rename Lake Ontario into "Lake America" and the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America." He lacks the legal authority to do either of these things, just as he cannot rename a state on a whim — although he is now attempting to do just that. And even many of his own supporters are turning on him over it. "New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America," Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Monday. "We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America! The name would add great value and prestige to the State! Home Values and Incomes would rise, and you would be even prouder while saluting our beautiful American Flag! Maybe even the Crooked Elections, that New Mexico is known for, would become honest again!" The right-wing website The Daily Caller used Trump's statement to point out the soaring costs of the war in Iran. "BTW, the national average price of diesel hi...

Trump's officials brace for 'avalanche' as legal reckoning looms

Image
Trump officials are scrambling for lawyers as they prepare for an ‘avalanche’ of congressional investigations if the Democrats take control of each chamber in November, according to The Wall Street Journal . According to the report, cabinet secretaries and mid-level staffers are contacting law firms in fear of Democrats looking into pay-to-play pardons for the Kennedy Center renovations and the secret and suspicious financing behind Donald Trump Jr’s wedding. “The calls started sporadically in June and have picked up in frequency since then,” Judd Stone, co-founder of the Texas-based law firm Stone Hilton, told the Journal . With conflict-of-interest rules, the same firm won’t be able to represent multiple officials, which has led to senior administration figures scrambling to quickly secure the top attorneys before their colleagues do, per the lawyer. Although the DOJ can defend the administration figures, some of them feel more comfortable with lawyers who are obligated to protect...

Judge smacks down Trump effort to remove herself from golf course lawsuit

Image
Overnight, Judge Ana Reyes denied President Donald Trump's motion to remove her from overseeing the East Potomac golf course case. On Sunday, after Trump posted a Truth Social comment about the work he intends to do after removing all the historic cherry blossom trees, an emergency conversation took place. That sparked an immediate The government argued that Judge Reyes showed bias against Trump and was overly emotional after she shredded the administration for defying her court orders. Reyes had said that she trusted the government to do the right thing and follow her ruling over the golf course as the case worked its way through the system. That only lasted a few months before it was discovered that the Department of the Interior tore down over 500 trees on the small island in the middle of the Potomac River. Trump falsely claimed the trees were "diseased." Reyes' filing was brutal, taking on each accusation by the Trump administration one by one. "For mont...
