Conservative columnist Kevin Williamson warns people “not to make the mistake of overcomplicating [President] Donald Trump.” “He’s a simple man whose actions are … described as the ordinary daily application of his vices: laziness, vindictiveness, greed, vanity, arrogance, cowardice, and, above all, stupidity,” said Williamson in the Dispatch . “He is a rage-addled dimwit with a savantic gift for manipulating lesser fools and a vulnerability to manipulation by men who are similarly vicious but more capable: Vladimir Putin, J.D. Vance, Stephen Miller, even one or two of his idiot children.” “Stronger men can push him around, and weaker men succeed by flattering him,” added Williamson. “His enemies can manipulate him at least as easily as his allies.” Nevertheless, Trump must be taken seriously — at least “in the sense that one may take a brain tumor as a serious thing but not a thing you’d have an argument with or lose a chess match to.” Leaders in Iran appear to know this. “Trump...

MS NOW assembled a devastating montage showing Republicans raging at high gas prices under former president Biden, but then contorting themselves to justify gas hikes after President Donald Trump’s arbitrary invasion and subsequent ceasefire deal with Iran. “Think of that. Would you like to have $1.84 a gallon instead of $4,” Trump told a crowd at an October 2024 rally in the middle of his campaign. “… But we have a country that's not going to be throwing a nuclear weapon at us in six months. … [Americans] are also feeling a lot safer,” Trump later said last March, after a reporter pointed out that gas prices hit $4 after his invasion. “Gas prices are through the roof and people are now waiting in line,” Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) told Fox News in May 2021,” but followed that up last March with the argument that “prices have dropped dramatically,” and called the recent spiked “a blip.” “Growing up, I watched my mom — who didn't have much money — when prices of things w...

Semafor reports that while President Donald Trump is springing onto voters his disastrous invasions and equally disastrous “ceasefires ” his Republican Party is desperately trying to get it’s resume together for the midterms. Only Semafor reports that resume is still pretty thin. “Republicans are trapped in a messy fight over their pre-election agenda that will extend the longest government shutdown of all time and threatens to complicate an already tough midterm campaign,” Semafor writer Burgess Evertett said. “President Donald Trump’s party has a dizzying to-do list for the year: restore Department of Homeland Security funding, send him billions of dollars more for immigration enforcement, meet his demand for a voter ID bill, extend key surveillance powers, and replenish Pentagon coffers depleted by war in Iran.” But passing those priorities, whether or not they will resonate with voters , will require muscle from Trump, Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Th...

President Donald Trump’s wife, First Lady Melania Trump, delivered an unexpected White House statement on Thursday denying her controversial links with the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — yet a recent report suggests there is more to the story. “Epstein even claimed that the first time Trump slept with his now wife was on his plane, dubbed the Lolita Express ,” The Daily Beast reported . “In her statement, Melania said she had never been on his plane.” The report added, “The pedophile spoke extensively with author Michael Wolff in August 2017 for his bestseller ‘Fire and Fury,’ two years before he was found dead in his New York jail cell in 2019. Authorities say he died by suicide.” Speaking at her unexpected press conference, the First Lady denied any links to Epstein. She also claimed that her name was not mentioned in any of the documents in the Epstein Files. Some of her claims were demonstrably false. For example, in 2002 Melania Trump sent an email to Epstei...
