Pouting Trump Sh*ts On Republicans By Refusing To Sign Popular Bipartisan Bill

WTF Is Trump Doing With The White House Columns?

While Americans struggle with skyrocketing health insurance, gas and food prices and while Trump has mired the U.S. in a needless war he finds too “boring” to focus on ending, he seems to have an endless interest in tarting up the White House. That is, when he’s not tearing down parts of it.

Trump's latest project is “repairing” the White House columns. The New York Times reported that “the White House described the construction as standard restoration work, including stone repair.” The Times also quoted Interior Secretary Doug Burgum saying, “We’re restoring the plaster … all the way up to the crowns of those towers.”

Judge Orders E. Jean Carroll’s $5 Million Trump Judgment Released

A federal judge has ordered the release of the $5 million judgment E. Jean Carroll won in her suit against Donald Trump after a jury found he had both sexually assaulted her and defamed her by claiming she had lied about it.

Carroll had immediately asked a federal judge to order Trump to pay her after even the MAGA Supreme Court rejected his appeal, The New York Times reported. Trump’s lawyers have indicated they will appeal that ruling, albeit with some laughably pathetic excuses for not paying. So stay tuned on that front!

Trump’s lawyers have already requested a rehearing from the Supreme Court, according to The Times. While they were at it, they also asked SCOTUS to take up Carroll’s $83.3 million second defamation verdict against Trump, a guy who has boasted about sexually assaulting women.

Donald Trump once again revealed how out of touch he is and how little he cares about those of us struggling to make ends meet in the Trump economy while he has enriched himself to the tune of $2 billion, just in 2025.

After President Deal Maker shredded his own ceasefire agreement with Iran, oil prices quickly spiked 6% to their highest level in weeks, according to USA Today. Gas prices also ticked up and are now 65 cents a gallon higher than a year ago. As USA Today also noted, gas prices are likely to likely to keep rising, as they lag changes in oil prices.

But billionaire Trump, the guy who promised to lower prices on Day One, thinks spending $10 or more every time you fill up your gas tank is no biggie.
