Donald Trump had a complete meltdown over the most mundane issue imaginable over the weekend, when he got on Truth Social and whined like a baby about an official painting of him hanging in the Capitol Building in the state of Colorado. Trump complained that the artist made him look "distorted," but all the artist did was take away his giant wrinkles and sagging skin to make him look a little bit younger and healthier.
The IRS is predicting a 10% drop in the amount of taxes that it collects this year - meaning the US government is going to lose about $500 billion. But the drop isn't because people made less money - quite the contrary. The drop is due to the fact that wealthy tax cheats and businesses are using the chaos caused by Elon Musk's DOGE to simply not pay taxes because they are betting on the IRS not having the resources to come after them.
Donald Trump's most diehard fans are not extending the love to Elon Musk. In fact, plenty of MAGA loyalists believe that Musk has managed to usurp Trump's power and therefore emasculate him on the global stage. These MAGA fans expressed their frustrations about Musk in a conversation with The New York Times, and their responses don't bode well for the administration. But the concerns of Republican lawmakers could prove to be even more problematic.
The White House Easter Egg Roll has been a longstanding tradition in America that allows children the chance to have some fun and relax with the administration on a joyous day. But, as usual, Donald Trump doesn't believe in fun or happiness, so he's decided to turn the event into a corporate-sponsored bribery fest, and he's now offering "sponsorship" packages for high-dollar donors that include a brunch with the First Family.
