‘I Run the Country and the World’

Donald Trump believes he’s invincible.

The week our interview was supposed to occur, Trump posted a vituperative message on Truth Social, attacking us by name. “Ashley Parker is not capable of doing a fair and unbiased interview. She is a Radical Left Lunatic, and has been as terrible as is possible for as long as I have known her,” he wrote. “To this date, she doesn’t even know that I won the Presidency THREE times.” (That last sentence is true — Ashley Parker does not know that Trump won the presidency three times.) “Likewise, Michael Scherer has never written a fair story about me, only negative, and virtually always LIES.”

But we’ve both covered Trump long enough to know that his first word is rarely his final one. (Trump changed his mind about canceling the interview.)

Near the end of the interview, we asked Trump why, given that he’s now definitively won a second term, he can’t just let go of the claim that he won the 2020 election.

The president told us it would “be easier” for him to just accept our assertion. But he couldn’t. “I’m a very honest person, and I believe it with all my heart,” he said. “And I believe it with fact—you know, more important than heart. I believe it with fact.”

“I’d like to say that that is reality,” Trump said. “Probably I do create some things, but I didn’t create that.”

Never mind that the votes had been counted, the court cases concluded. He was still trying to shift perceptions, make a sale, bend the world to his will.

Because there is no reason to let it go.

Not only did you cheat, but you worked directly with China to inflict Covid on the world to win that election.

There will never be forgiveness for what you did.

Ever.

And now your political party is dead.

6ix, you are writing fan-fiction. Unlike your party for the retarded angry poor white trash, this is true:

Twenty-one Million Americans to Lose Healthcare

-healthcare


Republicans are taking away healthcare from “poor” Americans to fund tax breaks for the 1% which would include billionaires (as if Musk and others are struggling).

Republicans have decided which 21 million Americans should lose their healthcare,

Winds of Change Blew Away Trump . . . in Canada

Trump’s calls for Canada to become the 51st U.S. state and his tariffs against the country reversed the fortunes of the Liberals, who trailed the Conservatives led by career politician Pierre Poilievre by over 20 percentage points in December, according to the Economist, prompting the stunning turnaround.

Even on Monday, Trump made a baffling post on his Truth Social platform, suggesting that Canadian voters should elect him leader even though his name was not even on the ballot.

According to him, despite its vast natural resources, Canada has been kept in a pristine, "no development" state, and only Alberta shows a spark of vitality. That the Canadian railroad was built only bc a group of west coast Canadians threatened to secede. "National health care is not a national identity". He was pretty harsh on Canada.

This person needs to learn their history. BC's price for joining Confederation was that the railroad be built. It wanted a connection to the rest of Canada.

There are all kinds of industry in Canada.

Healthcare isn't our identity. It just is.

Thanks to Trump

It wasn’t supposed to be this way. When Justin Trudeau resigned at the start of this year, Canada’s Liberals appeared to be heading for the door after almost 10 years in power.

The opposition Conservatives were in a strong position, with a 25 point lead and an easy attack line: that any Liberal candidate would be no different to Trudeau, who had become increasingly unpopular.

But those fortunes changed dramatically in the months leading up to the election and now Mark Carney, former Bank of England governor, has declared victory.

That’s largely down to one phenomenon: the return of Donald Trump as US president.

They say they want Americans to have more babies. What's beneath the surface?

"The idea is essentially that our society has become excessively effeminate, weak, compassionate," said Matthew McManus, a lecturer at the University of Michigan, "and what they want to do is breed or elevate an aristocratic class that's going to be masculine, violent, not necessarily motivated by, let's call it empathy." Recently, Elon Musk echoed the sentiment on Joe Rogan's podcast, saying "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy."

McManus is an expert on the modern, hard-right thinkers whose ideas Dolan promotes. In these intellectual circles, McManus said, establishing a "masculine" culture means rooting out feminism and multicultural democracy.

"Women are to be subordinated to men. [They] largely are going to be responsible for managing the household, although with no real particular authority. And of course, they're going to have an awful lot of children," said McManus.

Trump Has Ordered Safeguards Stripped From Procurement As Pentagon Prepares To Spend $1 Trillion

A former member of the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan warns of a coming perfect storm of waste, fraud and abuse.

By Charles Tiefer | April 28, 2025 9:37 a.m.

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-procurement-executive-orders-
defense


As usual, Trump is doing what he accuses others of. In this case, bleating about “waste, fraud and abuse” while removing all the safeguards against waste, fraud and abuse.

“The Trump White House this month announced two new executive orders radically changing procurement procedures, especially defense procurement procedures, in ways that will unleash waste, fraud and abuse. These orders — which largely flew under the radar — will effectively wipe out spending safeguards with potential effects that are hard to overstate considering that President Trump announced he will expand the defense budget to a breathtaking $1 trillion, and that the secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, is no counterweight to politically driven spending.

“To summarize, the new executive orders purport not merely to change or improve regulations, but to simply eliminate most of the existing procurement rules developed through years of oversight processes and outside scrutiny. They effectively undo procurement safeguards put in place after tremendous waste was exposed during the Cold War. In their place, the executive orders would elevate certain procedures that allow the government to spend unlimited sums without competition — the so-called “other transactions” process that need not be competed and that circumvents safeguards put in place to protect tax dollars. The Executive Orders say there should be a “first preference” for other transactions processes, which is like having a “first preference” for bringing a pistol with no safety to compete in a boxing match.”

Here we go again. The DoD will take the lead in blowing up the deficit, and Republicans will be then use the exploding deficits to demand more cuts in social programs. Rinse and repeat.

Trump’s land-for-peace plan would mark a significant shift in the post-World War II order, ripping up conventions that have long held that borders should not be redrawn by force.

“It took a World War to roll back de jure annexations and 60 million people died,” said François Heisbourg, special adviser at the Foundation for Strategic Research in Paris, referring to the pre-war annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany.

“Europeans will not accept it" and Ukraine will not either, he said.

JD Vance says Ukraine should surrender now or else Russia will nuke them. JD Vance is okay with Russia nuking Ukraine because if he were President, the US would not nuke Russia in retaliation for their bombing of Ukraine.

Vance does NOT understand that the absolute certainty of retaliation is the only reason there have been no nuclear wars. Vance and Trump are uncertainty personified. Nobody, including themselves, knows what either of them will do in any situation.

Ukraine War Could Trigger Nuclear Conflict, Kill Millions – says JD Vance
