TRUMP: “We didn’t start the war with Iran." LIAR! You illegally started the war on February 28 by assassinating Iran's Supreme Leader without Congressional approval. You even gave it a name: Operation Epic Fury. You said it would take 4–6 weeks. It’s been 8 months.

Listen, when I said the tent was big enough for all of us, this is not what the fuck I meant. Thanks for the publicity or whatever, but Neo-nazis need not apply.

A Russian officer now fights alongside Ukraine’s forces after helping kill 300 former comrades. 26-year-old Lt. Stupnikov became one of Kyiv’s most valuable informants, supplying coordinates, radio frequencies & troop movements helping Ukraine obliterate Russian units. www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Trump goes on a long rant about Obama's ballroom comments. "He said, 'This isn't a Cheesecake Factory.' Can you believe it? Which is a very successful company. He doesn't like successful companies, but you know, he was very critical about me."

The Democratic Party’s biggest names are all on the trail leading up to Election Day. Obama in Ohio and Michigan. Harris in Mississippi. Clinton in Florida. Sanders and AOC in Maine. And the early votes, forecasts and generic ballots are all pointing in one direction. Let’s keep it going! 👏

OBAMA ABSOLUTELY TORCHED HIM. 🔥 “He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory.” Americans are paying more for groceries, gas and healthcare. Trump is covering the White House in gold, building himself a ballroom and getting richer. YOU pay. HE profits.

Tennessee Brando delivers a blistering assessment of Trump's remaining supporters. “It's sad to watch people who are so miserable in their own lives get behind a man who is the king of misery, who just keeps adding more misery to their lives, and they keep cheering it on.”

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

“People are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. Were making a frickin’ fortune.”

The dumbest takes are MAGA trying to claim Obama’s line about Trump making the WH look like a Cheesecake Factory is somehow elitist because CF fans will be offended that someone doesn’t want the WH to look like a chain restaurant. Even their culture war BS is lame this cycle.

Melania taking credit for something the Pope did? I’m shocked.

Bernie Sanders: "If you believe as I do that Donald Trump is the most dangerous president in the history of the United States, we need to get rid of that rubber stamp Republican leadership in the House and Senate."

NOT A DRILL Trump just ordered the DOJ to challenge the Alaska Senate election results before a single vote is counted. Here’s the shady as hell part. Only if the Dem wins. Mary Peltola is challenging Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan & Alaska could determine which party controls the Senate.

What do all these corporations have in common? Nvidia Apple Google Lockheed Martin Microsoft Palantir They all donated at least $10 million to Trump’s vanity ballroom — and they all stand to benefit from his policies. Is this Trump’s most corrupt grift yet?

Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

Trump: "Honestly, I could've done numbers on Hillary Clinton. I could've done numbers on Bill Clinton. I could've done numbers on Barack Hussein Obama. Still could. I still could. I could do big numbers if I wanted to. Go after them. Criminally. Destroy their reputations."

Trump: "Zelenskyy is not a good guy for us to deal with ... I'm not a big fan of Zelenskyy. They've destroyed that country." (Note that Trump also blames Obama for the war, but never Putin!)

Trump suggests he is going to pardon everyone, including himself: "I'm allowed to do a self-pardon ... I don't want to see people that work for me go through years of nonsense"

Meloni slams Trump's betrayal of Ukraine: "we must also consider the agreement on Russian diesel announced last Friday by the President of the United States Donald Trump. It is a choice that I consider very risky."

Musk throws Trump under the bus

Elon Musk blames the US government for restricting Starshield's speed and usage in Ukraine; he points out that the decision to do so would come from the US military (Pete Hegseth) and ultimately POTUS (Donald Trump).

So Musk is saying it was the Trump Admin who did it and the Trump Admin is saying it was Musk who did it.

Trump: "Somebody leaked. Some sleazebag. They ought to go to jail or be shot."

Trump: "Leakers should be -- in my opinion, leakers should be shot. They should be shot."

Trump: "I made $72 billion on TikTok! You know who number one on TikTok is? Trump. Remember? Trump. I'm number one. Can you believe it? Taylor Swift is 19. They just sent out the ratings."
