Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

🇨🇦 👀 🤔 Canada’s far right has evolved from online memes to paramilitary ❝fitness clubs❞ and anti-trans crusades, with groups like Diagolon and Second Sons building real-world networks while their rhetoric seeps into mainstream politics.
Richard R. Goode argues that Canadians can no longer treat far-right extremism as an imported, fringe problem: it is rooted in Canada’s own history and is now expressing itself through militant ❝Active Clubs,❞ white nationalist networks like Diagolon, and Second Sons, and coordinated anti-trans and anti-queer campaigns. He traces a line from colonial white supremacy and residential schools to today’s paramilitary-style training groups and culture-war attacks, noting that COVID-era mobilisation and the 2022 Freedom Convoy gave content creators and organisers a shared audience. Experts he cites warn that loosened content moderation and the mainstreaming of far-right talking points by prominent politicians are normalising extremist narratives. The piece’s core warning is that these trends are converging into a generational project to build power, not just to shock online. ❝Canadians tend to think of far-right extremism and white nationalism as a strictly American problem, adopting an ❛it couldn’t happen here❜ mind-set.❞ Richard R. Goode, on complacent attitudes that have allowed domestic extremism to grow. ❝Over the years, [the alt-right’s] membership has become increasingly public, participating in rallies and engaging in acts of violence in the real world.❞ Goode, describing the shift from anonymous trolling to offline mobilisation. ❝They’re becoming more militant.… They are talking about the inevitability of conflict and violence and speak about preparing for it.❞ Evan Balgord of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, on how Diagolon-linked ❝Active Clubs❞ function as paramilitary-style recruiting hubs. ❝A consequence of the pandemic was how it brought all these people together over a singular issue.❞ Amarnath Amarasingam, explaining how COVID-19 protests fused disparate conspiracist and far-right streams into a shared ecosystem. ❝Once pandemic restrictions were lifted, creators started shifting the goal posts to ❛broader culture war territory,❜ including protesting trans rights, bodily autonomy, and the general existence of the LGBTQ+ community.❞ Amarasingam, on how anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ campaigns became the new organising focus. ❝Researchers at CAHN say that the Christian nationalist movement is training people to be ❛political operatives❜ in a ❛generational project❜ to gain power.❞ Goode, warning that less openly violent, Christian nationalist organising may ultimately be more politically consequential than overt neo-Nazi rallies.

👀 Trump’s lawyers just told a federal judge, in essence: ❝Yes, we’re punishing NPR for what it says — and yes, we think that’s fine.❞ If this EO survives, every president gets a green light to turn public media into partisan spoil — or starve it on command.
At a D.C. hearing in NPR et al. v. Trump, the administration barely tried to deny that it’s targeting NPR (and PBS) because of their content; instead, it argued it is allowed to defund ❝biased❞ outlets and call that government speech. Judge Randolph Moss sounded openly sceptical, calling the executive order ❝on some level a directive❞ and ❝on some level a rant,❞ and pressing why the president can tell agencies to discriminate when the court supposedly cannot tell them not to. NPR’s lawyers framed the order as ❝textbook viewpoint discrimination❞ and retaliation, backed by a string of Trump posts railing that NPR is a ❝progressive pet project❞ used to ❝damage Trump❞, then ❝enshrining that antipathy❞ into policy. The government’s fallback —that this is just like any other grant decision or even just expressive ❝government speech❞— ran into the blunt reality that Congress specifically built CPB and NEA to foster independent cultural and journalistic work, not a taxpayer-funded presidential fan club.

‼️👀 Trump yells ❝SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!❞, boosts ❝Hang them❞ posts about Dem lawmakers, then claims he’s ❝not threatening death❞ even as threats and bomb scares spike around his targets. Same old pattern: light the fuse, deny you touched the match.
𝕿 𝖗𝖚𝖒𝖕’s outburst started when six Democratic lawmakers with military/intel backgrounds posted a video reminding troops they must refuse illegal orders; he blasted them on Truth Social as guilty of ❝SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!❞ and reposted a ❝Hang them❞ meme, then later told Brian Kilmeade he wasn’t really threatening them, just noting that ❝in the old days❞ they’d be executed for such behaviour. The lawmakers immediately reported a surge in threats and at least one bomb threat, while Trump’s allies insisted his comments were just legal analysis and that Democrats are the ones ❝playing with fire❞ by urging disobedience of unlawful orders. ❝SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!❞ Trump, on Truth Social, reacting to the Democrats’ video urging troops to refuse illegal orders. ❝I’m not threatening death, but I think they’re in serious trouble. In the old days, it was death. That was seditious behaviour.❞ Trump on Kilmeade’s radio show, trying to reframe his earlier post while doubling down on the ❝death❞ talk. ❝If the president is saying you should be hanged, then we shouldn’t be surprised when folks on the ground are going to follow suit and say even worse.❞ Sen. Elissa Slotkin, after being put on 24/7 security following Trump’s posts. ❝Trump’s Truth Social posts threatening to execute Democratic Members of Congress speak for themselves.❞ Rep. Jason Crow, saying he won’t be intimidated even as threats against him rise. ❝Clearly the president knew exactly what he was doing, trying to turn his online digital mob against these members of Congress.❞ Sen. Ruben Gallego, arguing that Trump was siccing his base on the lawmakers for telling troops to obey the law.

🤔 UBS says Trump’s tariff regime now mimics a 1.2%-of-GDP tax, pushing inflation higher and wiping out wage gains, even as the White House touts a $2,000 ❝tariff dividend❞ many economists say doesn’t pencil out.
UBS economists argue Trump’s tariff regime functions as a large, stealth tax increase that is propping up inflation, eroding real income gains, and leaving big swaths of the U.S. economy effectively in recession while the White House dangles an implausible $2,000 ❝tariff dividend.❞ ❝The tariffs are a big tax increase.❞ Nick Lichtenberg — ❝❛The tariffs are a big tax increase❜: Top bank crunches the numbers on how much Americans are paying for Trump’s trade regime❞ — Fortune — Wed. 12-Nov-2025 According to UBS, the current trade policies imply ❝a weighted-average tariff rate of 13.6%,❞ a fivefold jump from 2.5% at the start of the year, ❝effectively a tax on imports representing 1.2% of GDP.❞ Nick Lichtenberg — ibid UBS estimates the new trade regime will add about 0.8 percentage points to core PCE inflation in 2026 and up to 1.9 points through 2028 once knock-on effects are included, ❝enough to erase a year’s worth of disinflation progress.❞ Nick Lichtenberg — ibid The expansion is ❝narrowly driven❞ and ❝precarious,❞ described as ❝a big bet on AI❞ in which ❝a decent chunk of the U.S. economy is in recession,❞ including real residential investment and non-residential construction. Nick Lichtenberg — ibid Trump has pitched a ❝tariff dividend❞ of ❝at least $2,000 a person,❞ but UBS and budget analysts note that fiscal 2025 tariff revenue — $195 billion — falls far short of the roughly $600 billion needed to cut such checks nationwide.
