Trump wrote that Beijing was becoming very hostile regarding rare-earth materials. He threatened to raise tariffs and impose new export penalties, adding that there was no reason to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping as planned in two weeks. Then he crashed the markets.

Fun facts: Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, has won an Emmy, two Grammys, and his production company won an Oscar.

Trump has won 34 felony convictions as well as civil adjudications for rape and financial fraud. He is currently protecting rich and powerful pedophiles in the GOP.

“That was a very nasty question. I’m angry—the Nobel Peace Prize was rigged and stollen. Yesterday, I was studying for my cognitive test, and Eric kept eating the heads off the animal crackers.”

From @theathletic.com: Bill Belichick pledged an NFL approach at UNC. But it has proven to be a disaster. Insiders at the university described a culture of arrogance and a lack of understanding of how college football works. nyti.ms/4ofZA7f

Bill Belichick squints in a blue UNC quarter-zip and visor. Text reads: Bill Belichick Tried to Run UNC Like the NFL. Insiders Say It's Not Working.

Trump announces he's putting a bajillion percent tariff on China

It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software.

It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Premium increases notices will soon arrive in the mailboxes of Americans all over the US.

The average increase? 114%.

For some, the numbers are even higher:

A couple making $129,000 with two adult children at home in Savannah, GA, will pay $3,150 more per month for insurance.

The sickest children from around the country are brought to Children's National Hospital for treatment.

The doctors who care for them work days on end for starvation wages.

These doctors deserve a fair bargain. NOW.

- Millions of federal employees aren’t getting paid

- 24 million Americans could see their insurance premiums DOUBLE

Now Speaker Johnson gives House Republicans another week off work. 4 straight weeks out of DC. Unbelievable.

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.

The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees.

Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.
