The ‘peace’ president is one busy mob boss.
Some people dream of climbing Mt. Everest, others of Olympian feats…but this guy, he seems to dream up more and more wars each week. It must be exhausting keeping up his peace efforts.
US President Donald Trump has threatened military strikes on Colombia amid rising tensions over drug trafficking.
Speaking at the White House, he said: “If they come in through a certain country, any country … I hear Colombia is making cocaine … anybody doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack.” – via express.co.uk
But not to worry that he’s not getting enough “me” time for himself.
President Donald Trump went on a bizarre Truth Social posting binge Monday night, as pointed out by many media experts, including Vaughn Sterling, executive producer of “The Source With Kaitlan Collins” on CNN, who wondered “what was going on last night?”
CNN political reporter Aaron Blake posted one of the president’s unhinged posts, noting, “Trump last night promoted a post that guaranteed Barack Obama will face a military tribunal.”
Meidas Touch co-founder Ben Meiselas posted screenshots of Trump’s Truth Social, saying, “Trump has made approximately 400 posts in the past hour which include posts like this.”
One of those posts included an interview Meiselas did with former Attorney General Eric Holder and Holder’s call for reforming the Supreme Court.
“Trump demanded that Republicans abolish the filibuster based on what Holder was telling me,” Meiselas writes in a Tuesday morning article titled, “Trump Attacks MeidasTouch in Midnight Mental Breakdown.”
“Shortly after Trump made the post about MeidasTouch, there was a brief pause, and then he began making new posts every 10 seconds for a full hour, totaling about 400 posts,” Meiselas explains.
“His posts included deranged claims that Michelle Obama ‘controlled Biden’s autopen’ and that Biden’s executive orders were really done by Michelle Obama. Trump posted an AI video claiming Nicolás Maduro surrendered to him and that Trump was now controlling Venezuela, and that Maduro admitted Tren de Aragua confessed [former President Joe] Biden was the leader of their cartel. Trump made posts saying Canada was involved in election rigging. He made bizarre posts about Obama’s weekly ‘kill list.’ I can go on and on, but you get the point,” he adds. – via afternet.org
His glad tidings didn’t end on Monday night though. He decided to continue on in the holiday spirit and cast out some more whoppers during Tuesday’s cabinet meeting.
Coming off the heels of a late-night Truth Social spree, President Donald Trump on Tuesday convened a televised Cabinet meeting. Surrounded by loyalists, Trump opened the meeting with an attack on former President Joe Biden, and repeatedly claimed the U.S. has soared economically since his return to the White House on January 20.
Despite the president’s cheery claims about the economy, the meeting comes at a time when polls are showing Trump’s approval ratings tanking — and his party still reeling from sweeping Democratic victories in 2025’s off-year elections of November 4.Here are five of the wildest moments from Trump’s Cabinet meeting.
1. Trump claimed to dramatically lower drug prices.
Trump claimed that prescription drug prices soared under Biden but tumbled after he returned to the White House. And he specifically mentioned a weight loss drug, insisting that a “fat drug, F-A-T, for fat people” went from costing more than $1000 under Biden to $135 under his watch.
“We have reduced drug prices by 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 percent, depending on the drug, depending on the company.”
2. Trump called affordability a “Democrat scam.”
Democrats are blaming Trump’s steep new tariffs for stubborn inflation, but Trump called affordability arguments a “Democrat scam.”
Trump said of affordability, “It doesn’t mean anything to anybody…. The word affordability is a Democrat scam…. They say it, and then, they go on to the next subject — and everyone thinks: Oh, they had lower prices. No, they had the worst inflation in the history of our country.”
3. Trump claimed Democrat are planning the “largest tax hike in history.”
Without evidence, Trump told Cabinet members and reporters that Democrats “want the largest tax hike in history.” And he added that his agenda includes “no tax on overtime and no tax on Social Security” and “no tax on overtime.”
Trump said, “We’re bringing back the automobile business. … 60 percent of it was stolen.”
4. Trump railed against Obamacare.
Unlike Trump’s first presidency, his second hasn’t included a replacement bill for the Affordable Care Act of 2010, a.k.a. Obamacare. Rather, his approach has included defunding Obamacare, which he ranted against during the Cabinet meeting.
Trump told attendees, “The fake news won’t write about it. … Obamacare is a disaster. … Obamacare was made to make the insurance companies rich.”
5. Trump promised to eliminate federal income tax.
Trump’s critics are warning that his steep new tariffs will make inflation even worse in the months ahead, but Trump claimed that his tariffs will enable the U.S. to abolish its federal income tax.
Trump insisted, “We’re taking in literally trillions of dollars,” adding that “you won’t be paying income tax” in the future. – via afternet.org
Thank the gods it’s not all business all the time for the ‘peace’ president!
