Trump charges €5 million on the newly launched Trump Card website for permanent residency in the US, with the intention of “bringing businesses and opportunity” to the US. Trump is so confident that this plan will apparently wipe the entire federal debt with corporate tax and employment taxes assuming many are employed.

MAGA insiders have a dream that wealthy investors will pay off the entire U.S. federal debt.

I can’t see this working out… I doubt it’s fruitful to settle in the US for such an extortionate amount of monies! Is Trump playing clown or what? What benefit do businesses get by migrating to the US???

Bloody hell, that was such a clusterfuck of a visit that there's now even a lengthy Wikipedia article on it! There's also loads of links at the end of the article, or just Google it for more manageable results on this.

Indeed not. It'll be just another of his scams, just you wait and see.

Ah yes thanks for reminding me of the context! I remember Trump calling Zelensky a dictator and blaming him for the war!

Yer welcome.

Oh bless him, poor Trumpy is unable to understand why everyone hates Russia.

Donald Trump has claimed that it is “strange” that everyone “hates Russia” now – apparently ignoring Vladimir Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.

The US president also claimed Putin – who has been threatening Ukraine’s allies for years now – told Trump he was confused why the west was now hostile towards Russia.

Trump claimed his Russian counterpart told him: “We were your ally. Now everybody hates Russia.”

Could someone please explain it to him? What about you, @Astro What? Do you think he would listen?

Or maybe, it's because he's in Putin's pocket? Sounds a bit more likely, doesn't it?

The way I see it? Putin knows something about Trump. Something that would end Trump's presidency in one fell swoop.

Most impotent president? No shit?

President Donald Trump is rapidly becoming even more of a punchline on the world stage, according to foreign policy expert David Rothkopf, who appeared on Friday’s episode of The Daily Beast Podcast to deliver a scathing assessment of Trump’s global irrelevance.

“I would argue he may be the most impotent president of the United States that we’ve seen in our lifetimes,” Rothkopf told host Joanna Coles. “He’s alienated our allies, undermined our economy, attacked the international system—and he hasn’t made a single deal.”

Oh and:

Hegseth Won’t Say If U.S. Has Plans For Invading Greenland

Hegseth dodged the question when asked by a Republican congressman to clarify earlier remarks that left open the possibility the military has a blueprint for invading the Danish territory.

www.forbes.com

Remember when Trump announced he wants to take over Greenland and Canada when he became president?

Denmark’s Parliament voted on Tuesday in favour of allowing US military bases in Greenland. Well, isn’t that ludicrous? All this achieves is to empower Trump’s ambitions in invading Greenland, imo.

And yet, now Trump dodges questions from a Republican congressman about his military aspirations in conquering Greenland.

 

[Retro]

Yup, he's got invasion plans just like Putin, just different pretext. Hardly surprising from a power hungry criminal like him.

This is great news, resistance to Trump is finally building across the country. If this keeps up, he might finally be forced out of power by Republicans by impeachment. Certainly the Democrats would impeach him, but it's his own side that has to turn against him for it to be successful. Once he's seen as a liability rather than asset, that could well happen.

As tanks and soldiers paraded through the streets of Washington on Saturday, several million people around the country turned out to protest against the excesses of Donald Trump’s administration.

The protests, dubbed “No Kings”, took place at about 2,100 sites nationwide, from big cities to small towns. A coalition of more than 100 groups joined together to plan the protests, which are committed to a principle of nonviolence.

This week, Trump has deployed national guard and US marine troops to Los Angeles to crack down on protesters who have demonstrated against his ramped-up deportations, defying state and local authorities in a show of military force that hasn’t been seen in the US since the civil rights era. Interest in the Saturday protests rose as a result, organizers said, including at a site near Trump’s south Florida Mar-a-Lago estate.

He deployed troops to police protests against his policies.

Yet he didn’t deploy troops to police the 2021 riots when they were supposed to work in his favour.

Hypocritical much???

Oh and he’s cooled down on his immigration policies in an executive order “to protect farms and hotels relying on immigrant workers”:

ICE directed to pause immigration arrests at farms, hotels and restaurants, sources tell CBS News

The move marks a significant pivot for the Trump administration, which has vowed to deport millions of immigrants living in the country without legal status.

..............I can't believe that what was up to now just wishful thinking, is actually starting to come true.
The American people begin to realize the gravity of the situation, the situation being someone with an insane desire for power and utter lack of morals, occupying the White House.
If only his own people will turn against him...or maybe let someone have another go at shooting him in the head and turn his lights off forever, rather then just grazing his bloody ear. I know, I know, wishful thinking.....

Oh my @Mars, what has Trump ever done other than legitimately win a second term?

Well, Trump leaked his AI plans on a Github repository with a staging link to AI.gov, then when the news asked for comment, the repository got taken down! (Oh well, it’s still in the archives for those who wanna look…)

Updated: The AI.gov repository and staging site vanished when we asked questions, but don't worry – we captured backups

The project has 3 components:

• A chatbot
• An API connecting systems to various AI models
• CONSOLE, a tool to analyse AI usage

The thought of this is scary, given the concerns you may have heard with respect to confidential data being fed into AI. The risk of PI about citizens being handed to AI is very real!

Actually, in typical Trump dysfunctional government, that is now apparently reversed. Seems all the Chiefs can't agree on what they think their Golden God wants.

OK, Trump has announced a Trump Mobile MVNO piggybacking off AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile, and a mid-range Android smartphone named T1, which he claims will be assembled and designed in the US, yet he has omitted details of the chip, a detail always included by other phone manufacturers.

Trump Mobile's made-in-US iPhone 17 competitor is really made in China

The Trump Organization has launched Trump Mobile and plans to release the T1, a smartphone that it says is "made in USA" at the same time that the iPhone 17 will launch. The problem is, the phone was made in China.

appleinsider.com

Oh, and another thing - how will the parts for the phone be imported in the US for a reasonable price with the tariffs he’s imposed on countries? Poetic justice - hope his own actions bite him hard, assuming he’ll truly be assembling the phone in the US, so he finally reevaluates his approach, or better yet, surrenders his powerful position of president. But hell no, who sees that happening?

Who thinks Trump is lying when the phone will really be manufactured in China, just so that he can rip ppl off with an overpriced phone?!?!?!

Now with the above, someone pre-ordered Trump mobile, only to receive a page load failure and to be charged the wrong amount

Trump runs from the G7 meeting.. because he knows he can't handle the heat and he doesn't have the testicular fortitude to try to defend his lies.
