Networks must be more cautious when reporting Trump’s so-called “deals.” His announcements often follow a familiar, deceptive pattern: declare a major breakthrough, only for the details to later reveal that nothing has actually changed. In the meantime, he gets the headlines he wants, the press amplifies the illusion, and the markets react based on fiction—not fact.

Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

You are the bravest of all warriors wounded in action, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your service to humanity!
In the shadowed corners of this world, your story ignites a thousand glimmers of resistance, an indelible testament to the potency of truth and the fortitude of the human spirit. Know this - your courage serves as a beacon, an enduring torchlight in this gloomy tempest. We salute you, brave soldier of humanity, wounded but undefeated
