Trump appears to be single-handedly deciding to use an old aircraft carrier launch system over the Navy’s preference. He doesn’t seem to have a good reason to do this.

Trump’s bombastic behavior of threats, tariffs, and war are making the world more skeptical of the United States. China is taking advantage of that and arguing that they are the more reliable power.

The Supreme Court keeps seeing blatantly unlawful action by the Trump administration, and then ending injunctions and allowing it to go forward anyways while the case works its way through the process. It looks like the Supreme Court is making up doctrines in order to enable lawlessness. The Supreme Court did not act like this toward Biden.

The US demanded that Canada give the US control over Canada’s trade policy with other countries. The US also demanded that US companies streaming shows in Canada not be required to order the shows shown to users based on Canada’s cultural preferences. The US wanted Canada to end its Buy Canada program that it put in place in response to US tariffs without offering to cancel the US tariffs that caused this program. The US demanded that the US could change certain terms of the deal at any time.
Ridiculous and demeaning demands on a long-time ally. Ruining such a relationship is not good for the United States.

Trump’s Secretary of Defense has been firing high-ranking military leaders and often gives little reason why. This removes quality experience and makes it seems like if officers want to get promoted, they have to fit in with Trump politically.

Blockading Iran is hurting them economically. This could get them to the negotiating table, but it could take time and is quite costly for the US to maintain, both militarily, and the economic consequences of Iran mostly closing the Strait.
If Trump did not parade around the world like an asshole, threatening and attacking allies, there could have been a chance of a blockading coalition to help convince Iran the world will not tolerate them terrorizing the Strait of Hormuz. Oh well.

The reporting on Natalie Harp and Trump doesn’t say anything about a sexual relationship. But, it does say that she’s even more sycophantic toward him than the rest of his administration, and that’s saying something! He will be given information by relatively knowledgeable officials, and when it goes against Trump’s predilections, Natalie will Google something that fits these predilections, and Trump makes presidential decisions off of this!

Without the W Bush and Trump tax cuts, the US debt-to-GDP ratio would have been much more sustainable.

CNN brings fake experts who are more dishonest propagandists than serious intellectuals just so they can have a conservative side in their 5-minute debates.
The Census Bureau is a respected data institution, and the Trump administration has used think tank hacks to produce an obviously bad report under the Census Bureau’s name. This is a dangerous corruption of our data agencies that we depend on to understand our country.
Trump repeatedly said that he would lower or eliminate the debt. He did the opposite.
