Sometimes it just takes a picture to tell a story. What do you think the investment world thinks about Trump’s insane push for Greenland and the war (trade or otherwise) that it will cause?

Now would be an excellent time for Congress and the Supreme Court to apply some checks and balances on the Executive Branch.
Republicans and Democrats are trying to contain Trump’s Greenland aggression. Will it be enough?

Repeat after me: The president cannot order anyone to do anything outside of the government.
Also, this is just dumb.

Will taking Greenland by force make us feel like men?
I think it will just make us feel like Russians (more accurately Soviets) or Germans (more accurately Nazis).
Trump is a small person who has been begging for attention from anywhere he could get it for his entire life. He’s the guy that buys a massive truck for no practical purpose whatsoever just to feel bigger.
Let me be clear, the citizens of the United States don’t want to buy Greenland. The citizens of the United States don’t want to invade Greenland. I would wager a boat load of money that most US Neo-Nazi morons (MAGA) wouldn’t be able to point out Greenland on a map.
There is no better time than now for the United States Congress to put an end to all of this nonsense. Who from the majority party will stand up? Who wants to be seen as a hero and leader in the eyes of the world?

Misleading. Biased. Exposed.
These three words perfectly describe the White House’s web page about supposed media offenders.
It is incredibly troubling and frustrating that our own White House is intentionally misleading its own citizens and the world by posting this complete nonsense on a web server using our bandwidth for which we are all paying.
On the flip side, I think I would be honored to be included on Trump’s hall of shame if I were a media professional.

A government’s most important job is to meet its promises to its citizens. For 1/8th of our neighbors, our government has failed to complete that job to make sure families had food on their tables.
It is unacceptable that the Trump administration had to be reprimanded by the courts to do the obvious thing to make sure 40 million people had food to eat. It is also unacceptable that our representatives cannot do the obvious, humane things to open our government.
It’s well past time to get back to work.

Trump’s “New White House”
The dismantling of the White House East Wing by the Trump administration this past week was very disturbing to many Americans. This is especially true because Trump himself mislead all of us by initially saying the White House would not be impacted by the massive ballroom he is hellbent on building. Seeing the remnants of the demolition after the fact has been shocking and surprisingly more personal than I could have imagined. Why is this administration destroying our house?
Trump’s transformation of the White House does have historical precedent and comparisons to other fascist regimes throughout history. One example that comes to mind is Mussolini’s transformation of Rome during his regime. If you have not visited or seen pictures of the EUR neighborhood outside of central Rome, please take a moment and take a look. You will immediately see a cold, brutal, and intimidating style. The train station in Milan is another great example. You would expect a city to want to welcome visitors at their grand train station, but the Milan train station is designed to make you feel small, unimportant, and certainly not very welcome.
I interpret Trump’s transformation of the Rose Garden to be very similar to Mussolini’s EUR neighborhood. The Rose Garden was a beautiful, natural space that welcomed guests and served previous administrations for decades. Now, it is a stark, cold, lifeless concrete space like so many hotels and resorts around the world.
Trump says the new ballroom with be beautiful and follow the architectural designs of the existing White House buildings. Unfortunately, he and his administration have done very little to gain the trust of the country that they are actually telling the truth. I get the sense that when history looks back on these White House modifications by Trump, historians will be comparing them to Mussolini’s impact on Rome and the rest of Italy during his reign.

Considering the weather, the No Kings turnout in St. Louis was incredible! The rain did mess up my Resistance theme because I could not show off my May the 4th Estate Be with You shirt.
Let’s double the number of marchers at the next No Kings event!
