Farmers would say-tariffs aren't good, but everything else he is doing is great. I will continue to support him.

So will have to bail out China like we did Argentina?

That's the problem with community note fact check. By the it gets a community note people have moved on and never see it. They believe, and take as fact, the first post.

Correct just like they can't suspend due process...oh wait.

TRUMP: We want to have great healthcare, so we will do whatever we can do to have great healthcare...for the wealthy. He always leaves that part out.

From the article...“I think he’s doing a great job on a lot of things." This is the reason republicans won't vote for democrats no matter how bad things get. The economy is bad, but Trump is great. It's a cult.

I keep seeing ads for Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on 60 Minutes tonight to discuss the "peace deal." Wonder if they'll update it with the news today that the ceasefire has been broken? "We taped this interview before the entire deal fell apart, but here it is anyhow..."

Tomorrow Trump will say it saved more than 500,000 lives. The next it will be even more.

But CBS 60 Minutes are running commercials about the historic peace deal. Will they stick to it or correct the record when it airs?

Same with CBS 60 Minutes. They are running commercials about the historic peace deal. Will they stick to it or correct the record when it airs?

Exactly. Trump says we have a deal with a country. Media reports it as a great achievement. Then the country says we don't know what Trump is talking about. The fourth estate is failing.

When all is said and done the real investment number will be ZERO. Countries and businesses are telling him they will invest trillions, but they will actually invest nothing. They are just telling him this to get what they want from him.

The Trump administration has decided to return the two survivors of the recent US airstrike to their home countries, Colombia and Ecuador, instead of prosecuting them or holding them in detention.

But if they were so dangerous that Trump had to blow up their boat, why are they being released?

Okay, but it will never happen. What else do you have?

This should not be an exceptable answer to reporters. They should dig deeper, not just move on to the next question.

It's both depressing and funny Trump still doesn't realize that foreign leaders are treating him like a toddler easily manipulated by flattery. He still wags his tail like a puppy getting his belly rubbed every time.

Imagine thinking Putin’s approval is the measure of American diplomacy.

Screenshot of a social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'I have just concluded my telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, and it was a very productive one. President Putin congratulated me and the United States on the Great Accomplishment of Peace in the Middle East, something that, he said, has been dreamed of for centuries. I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine. President Putin thanked the First Lady, Melania, for her involvement with children. He was very appreciative, and said that this will continue. We also spent a great deal of time talking about Trade between Russia and the United States when the War with Ukraine is over. At the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there will be a meeting of our High Level Advisors, next week. The United States’ initial meetings will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, together with various other people, to be designated. A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this “inglorious” War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end. President Zelenskyy and I will be meeting tomorrow, in the Oval Office, where we will discuss my conversation with President Putin, and much more. I believe great progress was made with today’s telephone conversation.'

Rep. Adam Smith: Mike Johnson has shut down the United States House of Representatives. I'm here. Republicans are not here.... Trump will negotiate with Hamas, and Putin, and North Korea, but he won't negotiate with Democrats?
