    Trump's biggest problem is his EGO has him in the Thick of Thin Things
    He cares about small things with small impact
    Some even negative impact
    Ballrooms, His name on sh*t, His face on sh*T, increasing his personal wealth, having his ass kissed and being mean, petty, vindictive and lording over his enemies.

    When you have no "power" to change things. When you on the outside looking in.. When these goals don't affect anyone beyond you
    These are quite ok
    HOWEVER
    as POTUS is it completely different. These movements hurt everyone. He is a bull in a china shop
    He is hurting more people by accident than on purpose.
    I think he legit things he is trying to help and does not know why it ain't working . .. because he is just not that bright
    and not he has a touch dementia

    Grandpa Pudding Brains unveils "our pool is bigger than skyscrapers" chart

    Dementia Donnie thinks this infographic is impressive.

    To celebrate his pool guy coating the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool a deep blue, Trump held up a visual aid comparing its 2,030-foot length to the height of famous skyscrapers, under the heading "Our Pool is Bigger than Skyscrapers." He also claimed the 1922 landmark had never "worked" before, despite its century-long record of reflecting things.

    Trump is in the discussion for greatest President of all time. Has any other President faced opps like this and conquered them? He's taken on the entire corrupt DC establishment and won time and again.




    GOOD DAY

    Trump making a deal in a matter of weeks? ... just mere days after Trump says he could care less if a deal is made and the Iranians flatly stating there are no ongoing negotiations

    Sucks to be Trump.


    Top executives warn Trump that even worse price hikes are coming – and soon

    At a time when voters are ready to hand Republicans a midterm revolt over the economy, Politico reported this week that top executives warned President Donald Trump that prices are about to get much worse if he does not solve the war in Iran.

    Trump remains embroiled in negotiations for a lasting ceasefire and resolution to the war, which he started, with Iran's new hardline leadership refusing his demands. As that situation continues to spiral, the Strait of Hormuz remains either closed off or dangerous, depending on the day, sending global oil prices surging as a result.

    According to a Thursday report from Politico, oil executives have warned Trump and his administration that, as bad as things are now, they are about to get much worse if the Strait is not reopened in a matter of weeks, citing sources close to the discussions. Without the oil that gets shipped through the body of water, global oil reserves will start to dwindle to a dangerous degree, sending prices to new heights.

    "Industry executives have flagged the issue to senior White House officials and Cabinet members in recent weeks as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing dialogue with the U.S. energy industry, the people said," the report detailed. "The warnings came as recently as late last month as data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and other sources began showing that fuel makers were increasingly relying on oil and fuel from their storage tanks to replace products no longer arriving from the Middle East."

    List of why Trump is awful, terrible for our country
    1. Doctors don't have a patient take four different cognitive tests, as this president has claimed he's taken, at least three in the past year, unless they're seeing and monitoring clear signs of some form of dementia or serious mental decline.

    2. We're heading into the fourth month of Trump's war with Iran. That's roughly 25% of Trump's total current presidency since he's been back in office and, even if the war ended within the next couple of weeks, would equate to nearly 10% of his entire second term where we've been in a war he started.

    3. There's not a single major economic metric showing that the economy is better now than when Donald Trump first took office.

    4. Donald Trump's current approval rating is the lowest of any president in modern American history at this point in his term. Nearly 6 in 10 Americans oppose the job he's done.

    5. If Trump actually had "overwhelming evidence" that the 2020 election was stolen, he would have already put it out there for everyone to see, considering he's been president for nearly a year and a half and essentially has unlimited resources at his disposal. Even if he couldn't prove all 50 states, he could certainly prove it in a handful — but he hasn't, because it's all been an unfounded lie.

    6. If the Epstein files "totally exonerated" him, as he's claimed, he wouldn't be currently ordering his Department of Justice — now being run by his personal attorney — to continue covering up the full and transparent release of these files to the public and all the people who were involved in Epstein's horrific behavior. If they really and truly proved he did nothing wrong, he would have them bound in gold, sent to every reporter in the country, and posted on the White House's website and every social media account — he wouldn't be calling them a "Democrat hoax."

    7. Even if he never gets his hands on a single penny of that $1.8 billion slush fund he allegedly tried to take from taxpayers, he still sued his own government in an effort to obtain that money. Just because he might have failed doesn’t negate what his intentions were, which would amount to one of the most corrupt acts by a sitting U.S. president in American history — the attempted theft of $1.8 billion in taxpayer money.

    8. This is slightly some opinion, but I do think it is factually sound: Trump's ease of removing the Venezuelan president and how easily that all went down is a main reason why he decided to attack Iran. He got a taste of military power, loved it — like all autocrats — and was stupid enough to think that Iran was going to be just as easy. A few missile strikes, take out their existing leadership, and the Iranians would immediately install a more pro-United States regime. That's why his next pivot will be to Cuba. He thought he could hit Venezuela, Iran, then Cuba — all within a few weeks — then declare himself some kind of "American hero liberator." That's how incompetent all of this was. That's why he's so bored and frustrated with it right now. He created a giant mess and has no idea how to get out of it. No matter what happens, things will be worse than they were before.

    9. If we “totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear capabilities last summer, as Trump said, then they couldn’t have been an “imminent threat” to have a nuclear weapon back in February when he used that excuse to justify his war. So, at the very least, he’s lying in one regard, and most likely both, as Benjamin Netanyahu has been claiming since 1992 that Iran is “very close” to having a nuclear weapon.

    10. Donald Trump's net worth has increased by roughly $2–3 billion since becoming president. That's the factual statement. Now for a question: other than corruption through insider trading, along with market manipulation and his crypto scheme he launched just after being re-elected, can any of you explain how? How is a sitting U.S. president seeing their net worth grow by the billions in such a short period of time?

    The last time a recession started under a Democratic president was Jimmy Carter. Let that sink in for a while.

    FORT WORTH, Texas (June 3, 2026) — Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association President Stephen Diebel today responded to a confirmed case of New World screwworm detected in an umbilical cord lesion on a three-week-old calf in Zavala County, Texas:

    “This is a serious animal health threat, particularly for Texas, but it is not a food safety issue and ranchers and landowners should not panic. For the past 18 months, we have worked alongside our state and federal partners to prepare for the possibility of a positive New World screwworm case, and that preparation now positions us to respond quickly and effectively.

    Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association has worked alongside the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) to increase surveillance, sterile fly production and dispersal capacity. We have identification, treatment and reporting protocols in place. We are exceptionally grateful for the leadership and response of our partners on this issue.

    Texas ranchers and landowners may be on the front lines of this challenge, but they are not facing it alone. TSCRA continues to provide information and resources and ensure there is a voice speaking on their behalf and ensuring their interests are represented.

    We ask ranchers and landowners to regularly put eyes on their livestock and wildlife, maintain a strong relationship with their veterinarian and report suspicious wounds or infestations immediately. Early detection, rapid response and limiting animal movement when necessary remain our strongest tools for containing and eradicating New World screwworm.”

    WHAT SHOULD PRODUCERS DO?
    • Monitor livestock regularly, especially animals with wounds or recent procedures.
    • Become familiar with the signs and symptoms of New World screwworm.
    • Report suspicious cases immediately to Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC).
    • Follow updates from trusted sources and remain vigilant.
    Early detection and rapid reporting remain critical components of successful eradication efforts.

    SIGNS TO LOOK FOR
    • Wounds that do not heal or continue to enlarge
    • Presence of maggots in wounds
    • Foul-smelling discharge from wounds
    • Irritated behavior, discomfort or animals isolating themselves
    • Head shaking, loss of appetite or decreased activity
    REPORT SUSPICIONS
    If you see suspicious activity, report it immediately. It is important producers remember the only way for sterile flies to be dispersed in their region is for confirmed cases.

    All suspicions regarding pets and livestock - cattle, sheep, goats, swine, chickens and equine - should be reported to regional Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) office or local veterinarian.

    For all wildlife suspicions, reports should be directed to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD).

    Follow updates from TSCRA, Screwworm Coalition of Texas, TAHC or USDA.

    The guy who's peddling billion dollar crypto scams and funneling billion dollar Pentagon contracts to his kids is taking on the "Washington establishment." You sincerely have to wonder what mental illness these cultist have @El_Conquistador . Their brains need to be donated to science after they die to see what neurological issues they had. This behavior isn't normal

    I’m not sure they’re real people anymore. Read an article today about how much bots outnumber real people on the internet….wild. Or maybe he’s just playing a part. I sincerely think the guy who used to post under that account is way too smart for it to be the same person.

    I used to think he was playing a character but I actually think he believes his crap now. I know more than a few people our age that went "full r****d" during the pandemic. Like a fetterman style flip. It's weird but it obviously happens.

    The craziest example is a friend who I thought was pretty intelligent become a flat earther.
