Trump’s approach to power resembles neoroyalism, a system where personal, family, and business ties drive policy over national interest, echoing monarchies and raising questions about governance and global order. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/business/economy/trump-history-newroyalism.html
‘Neoroyalism’ and What It Says About Trump
Experts are reaching to divine the president’s approach to global policy and economics, with one theory seeing antecedents in centuries-old dynastic rule.

The Winter Olympics start today, and we will feel pride and honor for our country.

But when we see our criminal, delusional President, we feel none of those things.

I’ve faced off with him before, and now I’m ready to take him on in Congress.

At a Mar-a-Lago charity event, billionaire investor Herbert Wertheim paid $2 million for a private visit to the White House with President Trump.

The presidency continues to be up for sale to the highest bidder. And that’s not great for America.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Quite the contrast:

In one part of the Epstein files, DOJ published unredacted nude images of women and potentially minors.

In another part, officials redacted President Trump’s face from a news image that was shared in a text exchange.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”
