A very confused and agitated Donald Trump was asked by reporters this week if he was moving the tariff deadline from July 9th to August 1st, and he had no idea what the reporter was talking about. Instead of answering about the deadline - which he clearly did not know was being moved - Trump fumbled around and said that there will be tariffs, which made no sense at all. Eventually, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had to step in and answer the question to save Trump even more embarrassment.
Donald Trump threatened even more tariffs against countries that he's apparently angry at to start the week, and those countries were not intimidated at all by his threats. In fact, the BRICS countries that Trump is now threatening are openly mocking him and calling for a new global economic system that is NOT dependent on the US dollar. Trump is about to destroy America's standing in the world forever.
Right wing media company Newsmax has decided to step in and attempt to save Donald Trump's failing media company. Specifically, Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy announced that his company was going to be partnering with Trump's streaming platform, Truth+, and they will now be offering up their shows for the platform. That's still a very pathetic business model that doesn't provide subscribers with shows that they can't already get somewhere else, most of the time for free.
A new psychological study has been released by the University of London, and in the study the researchers created a new term to explain the mental disorders of both Donald Trump and his entire MAGA base. The researchers say that these people all suffer from a severe case of victimhood, but their version is slightly different. The lead author says that Trump and his followers suffer from a "VictimCOULD" complex, which allows them to get people on their side and cheer for oppression and the destruction of things that are actually good.
