“It’s no coincidence, of course, that Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, happens to be a paid advisor to both Kalshi and Polymarket. The Trump family has profited handsomely from the president’s second term, with some estimates north of $4 billion since early last year.”

So, you voted for the Party that has repeatedly said they would ban abortion, and some of whom want to repeal the right of women to vote! Or, (just as bad) you decided not to vote at all.

Trump Drowns Feed With MAGA Praise in Late-Night Truth Social Dump Celebrating Himself

What a terribly fragile ego this person must have.  He has to sing his own praises and get people who work for him to compliment him.  Questions that start with praise for him and use his talking points are smart questions from good people.  Questioners that don’t do either get called names such as stupid, dumb, bad person, and told they are committing treason.  Hugs

Trump Drowns Feed With MAGA Praise in Late-Night Truth Social Dump Celebrating Himself

President Donald Trump spent more than an hour reposting praise for himself on Truth Social late Sunday by sharing AI-generated imagery hailing him as the “greatest” from several MAGA loyalist accounts and attacking Democratic opponents.

The president opened the spree by declaring “Excellent Poll Numbers. Thank You!” without linking to what poll he was referencing before unloading a series of reposts from an account called “Women for Trump.”

The 10 posts shared from the account onto Trump’s feed included messages reading: “Trump’s the real deal! A true American badass,” “Thank God for Trump,” “The Greatest of All Time” and “Presidents come and go but he will forever be remembered as the GOAT.”

(Screengrab via Truth Social)

(Screengrab via Truth Social)

Trump amplified a polling item claiming he had overtaken former President Ronald Reagan as the “most beloved president among Republicans.”

The claim appeared to reference a CNN report published in July 2025, rather than more recent surveys showing Trump with approval ratings in the low-to-mid 30s.

(Screengrab via Truth Social)

Trump also revived false claims surrounding election fraud, reposting an image of election workers carrying the caption: “Start arresting poll workers that cheated in elections and watch how fast they tell who told them to cheat.”

Several of the reposts featured AI-generated imagery, including one depicting workers carving Trump’s face into Mount Rushmore alongside former presidents George WashingtonThomas JeffersonTheodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

(Screengrab via Truth Social)

The posting spree ended with one post showing former President Joe Biden as the “worst” and Trump sharing an image attacking Democrats as having “no solutions,” “no policies,” “no joy,” and “no love for America.”

This is the real Obama bowing picture.

 

And this guy posted 86 46 during Bidens term and the post is still up.  But Comey is on trial for threatening the cult leader and not Posobiec who did the same to Biden.

 

And this one is real.  tRump suluted an enemy general from North Korea.

And this one is real also.

Trump lies: "We won the popular vote the first time too by a lot. By millions. They'd already introduce me, 'Donald Trump who lost the popular vote.' That's why I said, I got to win the popular vote. They cheat like hell."

Trump on public disapproval of his war against Iran: "If you read the fake polls, it says, 'It's only at 20% or 25%' — it's nonsense"

Trump: "Somalia, it's got no anything. It's got one thing that's really strong — crime. All they do is run around shooting each other. It's filthy dirty, disgusting. It's a horrible place. They come here, and Ilhan Omar, she heads it. She married her brother. I would imagine they're looking at her"

HEGSETH: On Iran, we are in a ceasefire right now, which I understand means the 60 day clock pauses or stopsKAINE: I do not believe the statute would support that

The War Powers Resolution says the President has 60 calendar days to get approval from Congress or end the fighting.The U.S. Navy is blockading Iranian ports right now. You cannot claim the fighting is “paused” while American warships are stopping Iranian ships by force. Both things can't be true.

In the decades since this law was written, no president of either party has ever tried this argument. Not Reagan, either Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden, or even Trump in his first term. Hegseth made it up because the deadline is tomorrow and he’s looking for an easy way out.

The 60-day window will expire Friday, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a hearing Thursday, “We are in a ceasefire right now, which our understanding means, the 60-day clock pauses or stops.”abcnews.com/US/wireStory…
