Trump’s Feelings Hurt Signals to QAnon

Tonight, after news broke that the judges had ruled his tariffs illegal and after he had reacted angrily to a reporter’s question about the “TACO trade,” a weakened Trump reached out to his alt-right base as he appeared determined to demonstrate dominance. He posted a meme on his social media account showing an image of himself walking toward the viewer on what appears to be a wet, nighttime city street. Pepe the Frog, a symbol of the far right, stands in the background.

Above Trump, in all capital letters, are the words: “He’s on a mission from God.” Below his feet, also in all caps, the message continues: “& nothing can stop what is coming.” This is a phrase from the right-wing QAnon conspiracy community and refers to the idea that members of the “Deep State” and its collaborators will soon be arrested.

Trump Double Standard for Gangs, Pardons Murderer

Trump Double Standard for Gangs, Pardons Murderer

Today the president granted clemency to 25 people, including former Representative Michael Grimm (R-NY) and former Connecticut governor John Rowland, both of whom were convicted of tax fraud. Trump also commuted the six federal life sentences of Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover, 74, who was convicted of murder, extortion, money laundering, and drug related offenses, and from prison ran a notorious drug gang that had about 30,000 members across 31 states and brought in an estimated $100 million a year. Hoover still faces what's left of a 200-year sentence in lllinois for murder.

While Trump’s pardons of Republicans convicted of tax crimes seem in keeping with his favoring of the wealthy, Trump’s commutation of the sentence of a gang kingpin seems an odd counterpoint to his administration’s stance on undocumented immigrants. Administration officials insist they must be able to deport migrants they allege are gang members even if they have no criminal histories. They can ignore due process, they claim, because of the dangers those individuals present to the American people. And yet Trump has now commuted the sentence of a gang leader convicted of the very sorts of crimes the administration insists justify denying to undocumented immigrants the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

Trump Enriches Himself New Golf Course in Viet Nam

Trump Enriches Himself  New Golf Course in Viet Nam

Trump'’s tariff machinations—he has moved them more than 50 times since he took office—are also enriching the Trump family. Last week, Trump’s son Eric Trump joined Vietnam's prime minister Pham Minh Chinh in a groundbreaking ceremony for a $1.5 billion luxury real estate development with three 18-hole golf courses outside the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi.

Vietnam sends more of its exports to the United States than to any other country, and after Trump hit Vietnam with 46% tariffs, top officials in Vietnam ignored the country’s own laws to ink a hurried deal with the Trumps to head the tariffs off. The Trump Organization is also cutting deals in Serbia, Indonesia, and the Middle East.

Trump’s Birthday Parade Canceled After He Fails to Produce Birth Certificate

Trump’s Birthday Parade Canceled After He Fails to Produce Birth Certificate

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Donald J. Trump's plan to hold a military parade on his birthday imploded on Thursday when he was unable to produce an authentic birth certificate.

Though White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt downplayed the missing document as an "administrative error,” the Joint Chiefs of Staff disagreed, stating, “Without a birth certificate, we have no evidence of when or where President Trump was born.”

Trump reportedly begged his wife, Melania, to swear under oath that he was born on June 14, but she refused, telling him, “You never remember my birthday.”

The birth certificate controversy drew strong reactions across the political spectrum, including from former President Barack Obama, who exclaimed, "l knew it!”

#alt The brain drain is happening now.

Reddit is flooded with kids who planned to do their STEM PhDs looking for advice to apply in Europe.

All because a huge chunk of people in this country can't admit that actually, having smart people around is good and we should listen to them

Trump Follows the Book Authoritarianism and Threats to Judges

Bonica goes on to illustrate how this pattern of authoritarian attacks on the judiciary looks the same across nations. In 2009, following a ruling that he was not immune from prosecution for fraud, tax evasion, and bribery, Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi railed about “"communist prosecutors and communist judges.” In 2016, Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Tiirkiye rejected the authority of his country’s highest court and purged more than 4,000 judges. Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe pushed judges to stop protests, and the judiciary collapsed. In the Philippines in 2018, Rodrigo Duterte called the chief justice defending judicial independence an “enemy,” and she was removed. In Brazil in 2021, Jair Bolsonaro threatened violence against the judges who were investigating him for corruption.

But, Bonica notes, something different happened in Israel in 2023. When Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition tried to destroy judicial independence, people from all parts of society took to the streets. A broad, nonpartisan group came together to defend democracy and resist authoritarianism.

“Every authoritarian who successfully destroyed judicial independence did so because civil society failed to unite in time,” Bonica writes. “The key difference? Whether people mobilized.”

Trump Delegitimizes Courts by Pardoning Guilty

The leader works to delegitimize the judicial system, too, we are seeing as Trump reverses the concepts of not guilty and guilty. On the one hand, the administration is fighting to get rid of the constitutional right of all persons to due process, rendering people who have not been charged with crimes to prisons in third countries. On the other, Trump and his loyalists at the DOJ are pardoning individuals who have been convicted of crimes.
Trump issued a presidential pardon to Fmr Culpeper County, VA , sheriff Scott Jenkins, a longtime Trump supporter whom a jury convicted of conspiracy, mail and wire fraud, and seven counts of bribery. Jared Gans of The Hill explained that Jenkins accepted more than $70,000 in bribes to appoint auxiliary deputy sheriffs, “giving them badges and credentials despite them not being trained or vetted and not offering services to the sheriff's office.” Jenkins had announced he would “deputize thousands of our law-abiding citizens to protect their constitutional right to own firearms,” if the legislature passed “further unnecessary gun restrictions.” Jenkins was sentenced to ten years in prison.
Jenkins was found guilty by a jury of his peers, just as the U.S. justice system calls for, Trump insisted  Jenkins &  his wife &  their family “have been dragged through HELL by a Corrupt and Weaponized Biden DOJ."” Jenkins, Trump wrote on social media, “is a wonderful person, who was persecuted by the Radical Left ‘monsters,’ and ‘left for dead.’
