Donald I, emperor of the world.

[Beebo]

The USA no longer has a perfect credit rating with any of the big international agencies for the first time.

No surprise that the White House blames the mess on both Biden and the credit agencies themselves.

The orange rapist's DoJ loses again at the Supreme Court; this time the SC agrees to the continued blocking of deportations. A 7-2 decision with, almost inevitably, Alito and Thomas dissenting.
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us...mp-deportations-under-wartime-law-2025-05-16/
"Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster,"
The administration is free to use other means to deport people, but at least these should trigger rights.

The orange rapist criticized the Supreme Court's actions, writing on social media, "This is a bad and dangerous day for America!" adding that the ruling will encourage other criminals to enter the country, causing "great harm to our cherished American public."
This overlooks the fact that a criminal is the President.

Thomas and Alito seem to be right in Trump's pocket, but at least the others of Trump's appointees are managing to see some of the consequences of not applying logic and established law to Trump's flagrant breaches. Even Amy Coney Barrett, who has some fairly extreme religious viewpoints, vigorously pointed out the flaws in Trump's argument.

It's still crazy that just nine partisan SC judges can change the course of the US though.

Springsteen got 3 claps for whining about Trump on stage.

He needs to STFU and get back to singing else he's gonna go the way of de Niro

Massive disillusionment moment for all those thick-necked, red-eyed dumbfücks who have spent the last 40 years triumphantly bellowing & punching the air along to Born In The USA, without having half an iota of a clue what it's actually about.

Thing is, I almost glazed over that thinking it's the sort of thing he'd do. It has got that bad.

Nowadays hardly any of The Onion's headlines are satire any more.

Remember the much lauded trade deal 10 days ago? Has it been finalised or ratified yet?
No? Thought as much. Simply an exercise in PR.

Oh dear, the orange rapist fails to get his "big beautiful budget" through the House Budget Committee after several Republicans turned against the mob leader. A budget which the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, estimates could add $5.2 trillion to the national debt.

Didn't he drop some tariffs by executive order?

Dropped down to the new (high) standard rate.
There was a lot of caveats, timelines, and things not yet discussed far less agreed. This is trade on the fly, not formalised deals.

Yes, but from the UK perspective he dropped some tariffs in return for a deal one day.

Dropped them down to a rate higher than in February. Woop de do.
