Hasn't Trump told us how friendly he is with Vlad?

The "Golden Age" has reduced Manufacturing and Construction employment by 55,000 jobs over the past year, despite $18+ trillion in new investments and hundreds of billions in tariff revenue. (/s) Are we great again?

Golden Age to start next month.

TRUMP: I am imposing broad tariffs under IEEPA.
SCOTUS: IEEPA DOES NOT AUTHORIZE YOU TO DO SO.
TRUMP: I won.

Imagine getting this ruling and repeatedly telling the world that you won.

Counterpoint: No war that lasts forever should be considered a success.

Kudos to whomever said Iran’s nuclear program came back faster than Trump’s ear. Indeed.

Or not, perhaps. Lying then, or lying now?

I am no foreign policy expert, but I think you ensure the safety of your potential puppets so they’re alive to be installed.

True that Barron Trump is seeing a podiatrist this week?

When you reflect on the fact that we are now needlessly putting soldiers in harm’s way, remember that the Dow is 49,000 (dollars).

If you're keeping score at home, it is a virtual certainty that the $SPX will not notch a new high in the month of February.

If Trump's MAGA-men are so virile, so studly, so desirable, so overflowing with testosterone, why is every other ad on his own Truth Social feed one of these:

There is probably $100 million in the couch cushions of the tender of his $500 million yacht.

I tapped out 15 minutes into the SOTU.

Did the discombobulator figure into it at all?

Free to any journo with the cojones. For Trump, Bessent, Hassett, Navarro, Nutlick: "Sir, the president continues to tout the US stock market, but the majority of markets around the world have significantly outperformed ours since Inauguration Day. Why do you think that's the case?"

Make me proud.

"I inherited a dead economy that had done 2.8% real GDP in 2024, and in 2025, under my leadership, put up 2.2%. We are BACK!"

One locker room gets a phone call, the other does not. One team (and its goalie in particular) gets repeated shout-outs at the SOTU, the other not so much. One of the two goalies below gets a Medal of Freedom, the other apparently not. AYFKM?

Obviously Trump could not call the Gold Medal-winning women's ice hockey team, as he did the men's, because he was busy working on the NFL's kickoff rules. Priorities.

If AI is coming for millions of jobs, which member of the Trump brain trust is currently contemplating what policies might mitigate that?

I jest, of course, because they're all morons and no one is actually thinking ahead. Except Nutlick, who wants everyone put tiny screws into iPhones.

These young women are all going back to their PWHL or NCAA teams for the next few months. Check back around Memorial Day.
