Sorry but we literally debunked this like last month when he did this dog whistle. Fintan O'Toole literally did the maths, in the Times no less, that showed that this isn't true.
Why are we bothering to publish such an obvious lie when we know it's a lie?

More than anything this article falls into the dumb genre of “Trump is on the right track with ABC policy (in this case tariffs), I just wish he’d implement them in a smarter/more strategic way”. Shocker guys he is not capable of strategic policy, something everyone warned you about beforehand!

He didn't just invoke MLK's "arc of the moral universe" line.
He added that the arc won't bend itself and people need to step up to make that change happen.
Absolutely right. Pitch perfect.

Where to even start? There are no legally binding deals. Nobody has handed over any cash. Tariffs are primarily a tax faced by Americans, not exporters.
President Trump's second-term trade agenda has clear echoes of his “Art of the Deal” approach, essentially demanding that global trading partners show him the money in the form of investment pledges or else face astronomically high tariffs.
Trump Lures Foreign Investment With a Familiar Pitch: Show Me the Money
President Trump is using an “Art of the Deal” approach to get trading partners to hand over cash to lower their tariffs.

For another comparison, there's also an aerial view from a similar perspective, though at lower altitude since it's from a drone photographer, here on Facebook from 2019: www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...
The drone photo is closer to 31.5057, 34.4619 whereas the plane photo is closer to the coast.

For months, people have been asking me whether I still trusted gov’t data. My answer was always the same: The stats agencies faced longstanding challenges, some of which Trump was making worse. But there was no sign of political meddling.
I can’t say that anymore.

We haven't gotten there in @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social's Project 1933, but this (from August 25, 1933) is the first list of people stripped of their German citizenship on account of "behavior running contrary to their duty and fealty to the Reich and the Volk". There would be 358 more such lists.

1. Far right federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk has just vacated all EEOC protections for gay and trans people in the work place.
He says protections from "being fired" do not mean they are protected from harassment by Title VII.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
