Mannnnn....I'm like still reeling from the meltdown...

Most people, well, most sane people, realize it was bad. But there's some stuff that can't be disclosed publicly that makes it even worse. I'm literally one of the most optimistic human beings on this planet. But that shook me. I wish I could tell you why....actually no, it's just best not to know. :(

Trump’s actions aren’t surprising. He’s despised Zelenskyy ever since , he refused to find dirt on Biden.


Also, Trump is under orders to do Russia’s will.

Trump announces the US will not be enforcing its new shell company registry, which is the single-best tool to counter kleptocracy.

Pete Hegseth Reverses Course — Now Orders Dept. of Defense Staff to Respond to Elon Musk’s Email Demanding They Justify Their Jobs

A week after the Pentagon ordered employees not to respond to an email that originated from Elon Musk asking them to justify their employment, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a change of course on Sunday.

Hegseth asked civilian DoD employees to reply to a weekend email – the second of its kind – from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) that demanded they each list five items they got done over the week.

“I am now directing each member of the department’s civilian federal workforce to provide 5 bullets of what they accomplished last week and comply with OPM’s email directive,” Hegseth said on X Sunday afternoon.

Both President Elon and his lackey Donald (allegedly) owe hundreds of millions to Russia. It's not surprising they are rolling over to be the bottom for them.

The Trump administration may exclude government spending from GDP, obscuring the impact of DOGE cuts

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said Sunday that government spending could be separated from gross domestic product reports, in response to questions about whether the spending cuts pushed by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency could possibly cause an economic downturn.
“You know that governments historically have messed with GDP,” Lutnick said on Fox News Channel's “Sunday Morning Futures.” “They count government spending as part of GDP. So I’m going to separate those two and make it transparent.”

Doing so could potentially complicate or distort a fundamental measure of the U.S. economy's health. Government spending is traditionally included in the GDP because changes in taxes, spending, deficits and regulations by the government can impact the path of overall growth. GDP reports already include extensive details on government spending, offering a level of transparency for economists.

So cook the books. I am pretty sure the markets will react accordingly once this happens.
