Trump 1.0 bragged that the world respects America.
Pew brought way-back receipts.
Across 12 countries surveyed in both years, median confidence in the U.S. president went from 17% for Trump in 2020 to 75% for Biden in 2021.
Germany? Trump: 10%. Biden: 78%.
America’s reputation rebounded, too. Favorable views of the U.S. jumped from 34% to 62% across those same countries.
All that chest-thumping. All that bragging. All that “America is respected again.”
Then he left, Biden walked in, and confidence shot through the roof.
MAGA bought the swagger. Our allies saw the stagger.

🔴 U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy says he has been briefed on the Trump administration’s plans to resume military operations against Iran after the November 3 midterm elections, and the plan is “insane.”
➤ “It will lead to devastating escalation and the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law,” Murphy warned, saying the plan would prolong the war and harm U.S. security interests.
➤ Murphy pointed to reports of potential U.S. strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure.
➤ The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Washington had warned Gulf states to prepare for a possible “short, intense” military campaign against Iran after the elections. Trump has not made a final decision.

⭕️ Reuters identified more than 100 subpoenas issued by the Trump administration, mostly in the past three months, to state and local election officials.
The Trump administration sought records on tens of thousands of voters. The federal government targeted Democratic strongholds like Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles, and Republican-leaning Texas, Kansas, and Georgia.
Legal experts told Reuters that the federal government could use the records to contest close election results. One expert said that the probes are “setting up” post-election challenges.

🇺🇸 On Tuesday, President Trump announced an Environmental Protection Agency plan to weaken federal rules governing methane emissions, calling the Biden-era rules “expensive and unnecessary.”
The proposal would relax EPA requirements for hundreds of thousands of low-output “marginal” wells, end the agency’s Methane Super Emitter Program, and reverse a rule requiring operators to capture the additional gas that leaks from wells. Although “marginal” wells make up about 7% of U.S. oil and gas production, they account for roughly half of the industry’s methane emissions.

J.D Vance sold what soul he may have had to Donald Trump for the position of Vice President. This just proves that he will say and do anything to try and rise to the top to be President one day even if it costs this Country its Freedom and Americans their lives.

As expected, the "Melania Trump saved the people of Oleshky" was just another Trump con job.
The Pope did this, then the White House put out a press release claiming it was them.
🚨 WAIT A MINUTE: Melania Trump is now being credited with brokering a ceasefire in Ukraine by the White House—just one week after Pope Leo personally called Vladimir Putin to push for the SAME THING.
On October 16, Reuters reported that Pope Leo had called Putin to request a ceasefire in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky to allow desperately needed humanitarian aid and food to reach civilians.
The Kremlin confirmed Putin had agreed to cooperate. The Vatican made clear the initiative came from the Pope himself.
Fast-forward to today.
The White House is now announcing that Melania Trump brokered a ceasefire in Oleshky, claiming SHE initiated discussions with Russian and Ukrainian leadership.
The Associated Press is reporting the White House's account without mentioning the Pope's earlier intervention.
So why is the White House taking credit for an initiative Pope Leo was publicly pursuing a week ago?

Ronan Farrow reported in 2023 that the Pentagon signed a SpaceX contract to keep Musk from being able to cut off Ukraine’s battlefield connectivity at will. Colin Kahl described it as a way to lock in service so Musk couldn’t just flip the switch.
WSJ now reports U.S. officials say Musk ordered the Oct. 14 Starshield slowdown anyway, after speaking with Trump.
If that reporting holds, the guardrail didn’t hold.
1/3 Musk ordered last week's slowdown of Starshield, which Ukraine fights on, after talking with Trump, per @WSJ. In '23 the Pentagon signed a contract with SpaceX to “prevent Musk from turning off the switch," per fmr Under Sec of Defense Colin Kahl.

Trump says he "was not involved" in throttling Ukraine's Starshield, and he's shifting the blame to Musk because this resembles the 1st impeachment too closely. But Musk says the US government owns and controls Starshield, and that limits are decided by the military and ultimately the President. Musk couldn't do this without the go-ahead from Trump and his administration.
