Q: There’s a Forbes story that said your net worth went up by $3 billion since you returned to office.
Trump: So did everyone’s.
Q: My net worth didn’t go up $3 billion.
Trump: You should’ve had stock.
Q: I should’ve had stock.

Trump now posting AI videos that fantasize about him hiring Russian and Chechen goons to beat up American journalists for asking questions.

Stephen Miller: This whole period that happened after World War II where the West began apologizing and groveling and begging—
Host: I don't even know what you're talking about right now. I asked you if there would be an election in Venezuela.

This is exactly right not just for @amyactonoh but for our politics and media generally. We need to stop taking extreme reprehensible behavior and normalizing it after the fact so some people can feel more confortable
Q: I’m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken at all?
Governor-elect @AmyActonOH: We can’t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.

Stephen Miller to Trump:
I swear to you, and I pledge to you, Mr. President, my absolute loyalty, my unwavering commitment, and my total devotion to your success and the success of this country.

Abdul El-Sayed on Israel:
My approach is simple: Treat the government of Israel the way you would treat any other government that did the same thing.
My family comes from Egypt, and I want to do the same thing with Egypt.
Egypt violates human rights law. Egypt shouldn't be getting $3.3 billion of our tax dollars.
And I would hate if somebody would be like, "Well, because you share the ethnicity of 95% of the people in Egypt, for us to say that the Egyptian government is doing terrible things must be anti-Egyptian."
No, it is just applying our principles evenly everywhere.

Meet the new President of the United States of America.
Here is footage of him in HIGH SCHOOL.
I know he looks 45 here but he was in high school.

My interview on Austrian broadcaster ORF about how two years of Trump II have impacted Brussels – and whether Europe's surrender posture so far is about to change with the US midterms result.

The attorney general of the United States openly stating he will act as the personal lawyer of White House staff accused of crimes – he works for them, not the American people.
A blatant violation of the rule of law. He himself should probably lawyer up.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of government employees and taxpayer-funded resources to create a self-promoting video attacking Democrats and other political opponents probably violated federal law, government watchdogs said. wapo.st/3UDCpdJ

just wow
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Donald Trump did not post the video; it is a satirical AI/CGI-generated meme with a fake @realDonaldTrump account header overlaid. No matching post exists from his accounts.

El Sayed so good on how to deal with bullies. European leaders could learn from this

BREAKING: Susie Wiles is out as White House chief of staff and will be replaced by Stephen Miller. nbcnews.com/politics/donald-…
18 planes across Europe experienced bomb threats today, after 22 did yesterday. Irish TV stations had to be evacuated after a coordinated bomb threat campaign there. And earlier this week, hackers shut off fridges across Europe spoiling millions of euros of food.
This is exactly the type of hybrid warfare that EU officials have for months been warning would come from Russia. But is Russia behind it?

For more on the British obsession with US politics and why that energy would be better spent on building a Europe where 🇺🇸elections aren't considered the most important for this continent, here's my piece from earlier this week: davekeating.substack.com/p/o…
