So, by report the national debtt is greater now than when Trump took office, notwithstanding all the DOGE slashing and burning.

Kinda reminds me of "smoke and mirrors:" in this case "slash spending and slash taxes: that way me and my rich buddies will owe a lot less to the IRS so we can get even richer: 'needs of the people' be damned."

Yes, when the fox gets in the chicken coop the feathers will fly.


The national debt went up under a budget that had a deficit? ALERT THE MEDIA!

A person who graduated law school would be more intellectually curious than this.

During his 2016 campaign, Donald Trump branded himself as the "king of debt" who could start significantly paying it down. Once he took office, Trump said his tariffs and tax cuts would help lower the debt. That did not happen. Instead, Trump refused to veto any congressional spending and added $7.8 trillion to the nation debt. This stands in stark contrast to Ron DeSantis, who has vetoed 6.2 billion in wasteful spending and balanced Florida's budget every year.

Just weird. The Trump Geheime Staatspolizei division hard at work

Journal for doctors who work in pulmonary health is now confirming the receipt of a letter sent by Ed Martin, who is the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in President Donald Trump's Department of Justice.

NBC News reported Friday that the CHEST journal — which is published by the 22,000-member American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) — got a letter from Martin asking various questions about its editorial practices. This reportedly included whether it was influenced by advertisers, allowed for "viewpoint diversity" and if it protects readers from misinformation.

"“It has been brought to my attention that more and more journals and publications like CHEST Journal are conceding that they are partisans in various scientific debates,” the letter read, which also warned editors: “You have certain responsibilities.”

Blockchain analyst EmberCN has claimed the team behind First Lady’s MELANIA memecoin has been dumping the token. In a post on X, the analyst said the team sold 23.45 million MELANIA worth 110,000 SOL ($14.75 million) in the past month.

According to the analysis of blockchain transactions, the people behind the project have been selling for weeks using several liquidity and community addresses. While some sales have been to exchanges, the team has also sold tokens by unilaterally adding and removing liquidity to Meteora’s MELANIA/SOL liquidity pool.

In the latest sale on April 19, the team sold 2.95 million tokens for 9,009 SOL worth $1.2 million. With the latest sell-off, the team has reportedly dumped 7.643 million MELANIA for SOL in the last three days.

MELANIA heading to zero in free fall as TRUMP struggles
With the team dumping MELANIA, the token value has also been declining. According to CoinMarketCap, it peaked at $13.73 on January 20 and has been in decline since then, with a 23% fall in the past week and a 96% drop in 90 days.

The token is now down to $0.3834 and has fallen 5% in the past 24 hours despite general market stability. Most of the other major memecoins, including SHIB, PEPE, BONK, and Fartcoin, have actually performed better within the category, seeing an average increase of 2% in the price.

However, not all memecoins are performing well. Another PolitiFi memecoin that has been struggling is the TRUMP official memecoin. The token, which peaked at $75.35, is now down to $8.14 after three months.

A nice little earner for the teams behind both scams (which now seem to be cashing in and moving on) . Sad that TRUMP and MELANIA have plunged in value, but they always were less than worthless. The memecoins were worthless, too.

The only acceptable response:

"Dear Mr. Martin,

Go f&%k yourself.

The Editors of CHEST"

.

Trump tried to bully China with 145% tariffs

China wouldn't back down and raised their tariff on the U.S. to great heights

China does much more business than the U.S.

now Trump is softening his tone - implying that he is backing down - which is a good thing

but the fact that he thought he could bully China shows how stupid he is
