"China encouraging public perception Beijing has the upper hand on #tariffs as Trump retreats. State TV refers to him by one of his nicknames here “10,000 Tariff Grandpa." Other names online: “King Know-It-All” “Trump The Nation Builder… for China."

Dictator wannabe #Conman Trump’s proposal to freeze federal workers’ pay while giving billionaires massive tax breaks is an all-out attack on working Americans.

#Trump's #derangement is on full display for the world to see. His policies make no sense, and are not based in reality but lunacy. He continues to exhibit his mental disability with his persistent narcissistic disorder. But that isn't to say he is stupid; just ignorant. As just displayed recently.
#BillMaher had lunch with #Trump, and Bill got played. It was a brilliant PR stunt since in the end, Bill had very little bad to say about it. That's because Trump was not himself. We have years of documented accounts of Trump's behavior both public and private. But Trump purposely made it so Bill could not say a bad thing about the encounter. The con man was in full display and Bill bought it hook, line, and sinker.
“A Princely Ploy: Inside the Ruse of a French-Armenian Scammer”
After proclaiming himself the direct descendant of a 12th-century #Crusader king, the #Armenian priest and educator Ambroise Calfa hit upon an ignoble scheme: grant knighthood to anyone willing to pay. These are the cunning exploits of a forgotten 19th-century #conman, whose initially honorable intentions quickly escalated into all-out #fraud.

Donald Trump Is a Fake Populist | The New Republic
https://newrepublic.com/article/192011/donald-trump-fake-populist
Trump is a con man, a snake oil salesman. He will sell you everything to make a buck and float to the top of the pyramid. It's what he has been doing all is life. Trump is interested in only one thing, and that is Trump. Always has been, always will be. A megalomaniac narcissist and would be pocket dictator.
Deranged Aristocrat Musk wants to be the first trillionaire. He also wants to go to Mars. There's no way he can do either of these things without our $$$. He's currently seizing control, getting ready for the biggest heist in world history.
He has no idea. He is geographically illiterate. Lookit this answer by Donald in the Zelensky Oval Office presser. Donald is bluffing his way through; winging it.
He has no idea but of course, he can't admit that; zero depth of knowledge.
It is so humiliating that THIS is the American president.

President Trump posted on Truth Social last night in an attempt to “pump” his $TRUMP memecoin (yes that’s a real sentence that many have normalized).
The result has been an acceleration of the “dump,” now down 70% from its peak. The jig is up.
