Telegraph: Trump’s cabinet turns on tariff architect

Members scrutinising Peter Navarro after ‘smack in face’ court ruling halting levies

The architect of Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs is facing scrutiny from cabinet members after the levies were halted by judges.

A New York court ruled on Wednesday that Mr Trump’s “liberation day” tariffs were illegal and overstepped the authority of the Oval Office.

The ruling is a “huge smack in the face” for Peter Navarro, one of the president’s closest advisers, a source close to the White House told The Telegraph.

Members of Mr Trump’s cabinet are now closely scrutinising Mr Navarro, who is widely viewed as the architect of the president’s tariff scheme.

“Navarro has been given enough rope to hang himself,” the source said.

Raw Story: GOP lawmakers serve notice they won’t save Trump with a ‘stupid vote’: analyst

Despite a court stepping in late Thursday and reviving Donald Trump’s campaign of tariffs against U.S. allies, one political strategist predicted it will all fall apart in the long run and Republican lawmakers won’t be there to bail the president out.

During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Way Too Early,” former Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) adviser Jonathan Kott told host Ali Vitali that GOP members of Congress won’t want to admit to voters they made a “stupid vote” and will instead leave the president to fend for himself and take the blame for the economic chaos.

Let the grifter-in-chief twist in the wind! 😀

Bloomberg: Key Republican Hopes ‘Revenge’ Tax Will Be a Never-Used Deterrent

House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith on Friday defended the provision, called Section 899, which calls for increasing income tax rates on foreign individuals and companies from countries whose tax policies the US deems “discriminatory.

A key House Republican tax negotiator said he hopes the so-called “revenge” measure in President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill targeting foreign investors will be a deterrent that is never deployed. 

So the next time a narcissist fruitcake like Trump fibs his way into the Oval Office, he will have another tool with which to destroy our economy and alienate any friends that we might have left. Many wise foreign investors and business will simply avoid doing business in the U.S.A.

Raw Story: ‘This is my show!’ CNN host fires back at a furious Stephen [“Goebbels”] Miller in interview

“Am I going to sit here today and engage in radical hypotheticals?” [“Goebbels”] Miller asked when talking about the executive powers of the president. “This administration has religiously complied with even the most unlawful court orders, but it completely upends the constitutional system to have a single judge in Boston assert the same powers of the president of the United States — is such an offense to democracy.”

Whatever you say, Herr Goebbels.

[“Goebbels”] Miller’s voice continued to grow louder as he accused the Biden administration of “trying to throw President Trump in jail, claiming somehow that was what democracy required, when, in fact, the Democrat Party has been waging war against democracy. They should be renamed the Communist Party, and district court judges that are trying to keep millions of illegal aliens here, to steal our, jobs, to steal, our livelihood, to steal our benefits —”

Last time I checked, Biden’s been out of office for 4 months and 10 days, Herr Goebbels. If you’re displeased with the current state of affairs in American government, it’s high time you and your grifter-in-chief stepped up and started owning what you’ve been f*ck*ng up for 130 days and counting.

The Hill: Musk drug use on campaign trail sparked concerns: Report

Alleged drug use by tech billionaire and close President Trump ally Elon Musk on the campaign trail during the 2024 presidential election has sparked concerns, according to an explosive New York Times report published Friday morning

The article comes as Musk is exiting the Trump administration after a whirlwind several months in which he led efforts to cut down on the government’s size.

Musk told people he was using ketamine so often that it was impacting his bladder, along with utilizing psychedelic mushrooms and taking ecstasy, the Times reported.

Esquire: Trump Has a New Scapegoat for His Inability to Enact Tariffs: Conservative Legal Puppeteer Leonard Leo

President mad again. President big mad again. President big mad on social media platform. President big mad at judges and at guy who recommended them. Very big mad, indeed.

“Where do these initial three Judges come from? How is it possible for them to have potentially done such damage to the United States of America? Is it purely a hatred of ‘TRUMP?’”’ What other reason could it be? I was new to Washington, and it was suggested that I use The Federalist Society as a recommending source on Judges. I did so, openly and freely, but then realized that they were under the thumb of a real ‘sleazebag’ named Leonard Leo, a bad person who, in his own way, probably hates America, and obviously has his own separate ambitions. He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court—I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is! In any event, Leo left The Federalist Society to do his own ‘thing.’ I am so disappointed in The Federalist Society because of the bad advice they gave me on numerous Judicial Nominations. This is something that cannot be forgotten!”

This has been my personal theory all along, glad to see someone else has the same perception. In approximately 20 years — sometime around 2045 — whites will no longer be a majority in the U.S.A.

Trump & crew are desperately trying to hold off this change by removing as many non-whites as they can from circulation; immigrants (make as many as possible “illegal” by terminating their refugees status) and students (cancel their visas) are the obvious targets, all the while opening the gates to white supremacists fleeing the consequences of their past apartheid practices in South Africa.

Trump himself has a long history as a known racist in the New York City housing market. He hasn’t changed.

Telegraph: When it comes to Gaza, Trump is all mouth and no trousers

The current American president is repeating all the errors of Joe Biden

Remember Donald Trump’s vow that there would be “all hell to pay” if Hamas hadn’t released all the hostages by the time he took office? What happened to that? Four months later and for all his tough talk, the president is slumping into a Biden crouch.

His envoy, Steve Witkoff, is poised to unveil a revised Israel-Hamas ceasefire proposal amid optimistic leaks, mainly from sources in the United States, that a larger deal may be in the offing.

So far, so Joe Biden. For those Trump supporters who were looking forward to seeing Hamas blasted to kingdom come as soon as his feet hit the Oval carpet, it all looks rather flaccid. What happened to his cherished Riviera?

Fox News: FBI Director Patel says he’s had to divert resources to investigate ‘copycats’ of Comey ’86 47′ post

FBI officials told Fox News Digital the bureau needs to focus on public safety, ‘not cleaning up after political stunts’

FBI Director Kash Patel said he has been forced to divert agents to investigate “copycats” of potential threats to President Donald Trump as a result of former FBI Director James Comey’s “86 47” social media post. 

Bureau officials told Fox News Digital it needs to be focused on “public safety, not cleaning up after political stunts.”

No “cleanup” was needed. It’s not our problem that you’re a total f*ck*ng gullible fool utterly unqualified for your day job as FBI director.
