Let’s face it whatever happens in the US this man’s ego will always be pushing him to say it’s all part of the plan.
As markets plunge from new tariffs, Trump shares a video claiming he’s “purposely crashing the stock market.” Even his allies are “at a loss.” Bob Woodward warns: “It looks like he wants to destroy the economy.”

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

‘Sure, it's going to bring Zelensky to the table, but he'll be in the worst possible position.’
