Has any reporter had the guts to ask Donald Trump why he thinks Canada should be the 51st state but Washington DC and/or Puerto Rico shouldn’t?

I hope folks realize that between Trump, Kushner, Hegseth, Witkoff, Noem, RFK, Jr., Kash Patel, and Tulsi Gabbard, this country is almost entirely undefended.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.

It's so cute and naive that Witkoff thought that he had to brief the Russians on how to manipulate Trump or any other asset. What a dork; totally out of his league.
Take a moment to analyze what Witkoff is saying:
TRUMP IS BLIND TO FLATTERY FROM WHOM HE CONSIDERS PEERS.
Everyone around Trump manipulates him with flattery, or warnings of treachery.
So Witkoff is coaching Putin (who already knows all this) on how to best manipulate DJT.

Interesting: this study suggests that white support for anti-democratic policies targeting immigrants increases in places with increased Black pops but not increased Latine pops. Meaning at core what is activated in anti-democratic ideology is anti-Black racism even when the targets are not Black.

every single thing hegseth says in public reveals a bottomless pit of insecurity
When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

First-rate read. Eyes widen open folks. These Federal agents have become Trump's goon squad -- just like you've suspected all along.
I say again, if I ever run into an FBI agent I will say, "What happened to you guys? Y'all used to be heroes." The good ones had better stand up.
ICE & BP are done.

This is interesting and speaks to Musk's general sloppiness but worth keeping in mind a transformer backdoor lets you throw the switch to the whole operation not change what it's doing. Which would be extremely costly for xAI and embarrassing for Musk but isn't equivalent to say, using Chinese chips

The use of Chinese components was previously unreported

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
