trade war
I think he doesn't understand what tariffs are
the president pointing at his favorite slinky
President neckflap plans to slap tariffs on imported semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and metals, aiming to force companies to manufacture these essentials within U.S. borders. Never mind that our key allies in Asia—like Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan—are the primary suppliers of these goods. Because nothing says 'thank you for your partnership' like a hefty import tax. Critics warn this could disrupt supply chains and hike prices for consumers, but hey, who needs affordable medicine and electronics when we can have trade wars instead?

trump's diversity purge: making the military great again?
Trump signs away diversity with a flourish, because nothing says 'unit cohesion' like pretending systemic issues don't exist.
President Trump, in his unparalleled quest for a merit-based military, has signed an executive order to eradicate those pesky diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Because nothing says 'combat readiness' like ignoring systemic issues and reverting to the good ol' days of monochrome leadership. In other words, if it ain't broke, break it and call it a win.
Not to be outdone, Trump's order also mandates that the military stop teaching about America's 'racist or sexist' founding documents—history? who needs it!—and instead sing praises of these documents as the greatest force for good in the world. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has 90 days to find the DEI programs hiding in the Pentagon's broom closet and report back. Here's to solving military issues with the wisdom of 'just don't talk about it.'

trump freezes funds: cutting off a world lifeline
wtf why does he paint himself this color, is he transitioning to an oompa?
President ferrethead has ordered a sweeping halt to federal grants and aid, leaving global health programs in disarray. This freeze halts the supply of life-saving HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis medications to impoverished nations, potentially endangering millions who rely on U.S. assistance. While the administration claims it's reviewing aid efficiency, critics argue this is less about prudence and more about abandoning the world's most vulnerable. America first, otherwise f*ck you I guess?

throwback: oblivious nation falls for the oke-doke
human sludge and leading cause of vaginal dryness, ruussell vought
After publicly distancing himself from the "ridiculous and abysmal" Project 2025, President Trump has now appointed its chief architect, Russell Vought, to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Vought, who previously served as OMB director during Trump's first term, is known for his role in crafting the conservative blueprint that Trump claimed to know nothing about. Looks like when it comes to staffing, Trump's memory is as flexible as his principles.

throwback: rfk claims covid was bioengineered to spare jews
crazy old antisemite contemplating his terrible life choices
Trump’s HHS pick, RFK Jr., is back with another gem, claiming COVID-19 was bioengineered to target specific groups—while somehow sparing Jewish people and the Chinese. Because apparently, the global pandemic wasn’t wild enough without adding a tinfoil hat narrative. This is the guy Trump thinks should lead the nation’s health efforts? Fiscal conservatism and science denialism—truly a match made in dystopia.

lets waste a ton of money on an iron dome, great idea
israels iron dme
President Trump has signed an executive order to develop an American-made missile defense system akin to Israel's Iron Dome, aiming to protect the U.S. from potential threats. However, considering the U.S. is flanked by friendly neighbors and vast oceans, the necessity of such a system is questionable. Critics argue that investing in a missile defense shield designed for short-range threats is an imprudent use of resources, especially when the nation faces more pressing domestic challenges. Moreover, the effectiveness of such systems against advanced missile technologies remains a topic of debate among defense experts. In essence, while the initiative may bolster perceptions of national security, but its really just a giant waste of our money, fiscal conservatism right?

crazy old man makes bonkers proclamation
wtf is this
In a recent social media post, President Trump announced that the U.S. military had "turned on the water" in wildfire-stricken California, suggesting a decisive intervention to aid the state. However, state officials clarified that the action involved federal authorities reactivating a Northern California pumping station that was offline for maintenance—not a military operation. This move comes amid ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and California leaders over water management and environmental policies.

the f3rump administration has axed over a dozen Justice Department officials involved in prosecuting the former president. Acting Attorney General James McHenry justified the purge, stating these individuals couldn't be trusted to "faithfully implement the President's agenda." Because, apparently, holding someone accountable is now considered disloyalty.

trump threatens to place tariffs on Columbia, which is in South Carolina, frump and petro have a back and forth
c-130 military air craft they were using to transport migrants
In a recent escalation, President blockhead announced an "emergency 25% tariff" on Colombian imports after Colombia, under President Gustavo Petro, refused to accept U.S. deportation flights. Petro cited concerns over the dignity of deportees, particularly regarding their transport on military aircraft. In response, Trump also imposed sanctions, including visa restrictions for Colombian officials. Facing these economic pressures, Colombia was going to retaliate with tariffs of their own. Still, in the end, Colombia agreed to accept the deportation flights, leading the U.S. to pause the tariffs and some sanctions. However, certain restrictions remain until the first deportation flight is completed successfully. This incident underscores the complex interplay between immigration policies and international trade relations. The use of economic leverage to influence immigration cooperation highlights the delicate balance nations must maintain in their diplomatic engagements.

arrest quotas are back, I don't care what you did I have a quota to hit
ice agent on his way to harass americans, probably
The Trump administration's recent push to implement daily arrest quotas for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers—ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 arrests per day—raises significant concerns. Such quotas may incentivize officers to prioritize meeting numerical targets over assessing individual circumstances, potentially leading to unjust detentions and deportations. This approach could erode public trust in law enforcement and strain resources, diverting attention from genuine threats to public safety. Critics argue that enforcing arrest quotas undermines the principles of justice and due process, emphasizing the need for immigration policies that balance enforcement with compassion and fairness. People already aren't showing up for work in the fields to harvest our food, what could go wrong?

kristi noem employs undocumented migrants to work on her farm, do as I say not as I farm
professional puppy and goat murderer, kristi noem
As newly appointed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem vows to tighten immigration policies, South Dakota farmers are left wondering if their labor force will vanish faster than a cornfield in a drought. One local farmer quipped, "I'm not too worried; after all, Kristi's got her own farmhands to think about." Indeed, Noem's family ranch employs temporary farm workers, highlighting the irony of her hardline stance. It's a classic case of 'rules for thee, but not for me'—because nothing says leadership like jeopardizing your neighbors' livelihoods while safeguarding your own.

he loves the poorly educated
illiterate old man struggles to read a teleprompter, probably
president ferrethead is considering slashing education funding, including dismantling the Department of Education altogether. Because who needs well-funded schools when you’ve got rallies to attend? The irony isn’t lost on critics, who note that many of Trump’s strongest supporters hail from areas already struggling with underfunded public schools. If “owning the libs” means cutting opportunities for your own kids, it seems this plan might just be a stroke of genius—or something like that.

fiscal conservatives my ass, this clown is spending 10x to deport people on military aircraft
donald frump playing the air accordion
In a masterclass of budgetary brilliance, the Trump administration is deploying military aircraft like C-130Es for mass deportations, each 12-hour flight from El Paso to Guatemala City costing up to $852,000 to transport just 80 migrants. For context, that's over $10,000 per person. In contrast, a Department of Homeland Security chartered flight for the same route costs a mere $8,577. this extravagant approach not only squanders taxpayer dollars but also raises questions about the administration's commitment to fiscal responsibility. But hey, when you're making a point, why not do it with the most expensive tools available? and we get to feed less poor moms on food stamps as a bonus

ok we just won't do business with you anymore whatever
idk whats going on here but it looks intense
In a unified stand against President Trump's looming 25% tariffs, steelmakers in Canada and Mexico are hitting the brakes on new U.S. orders. Citing concerns over the impending duties, these producers are opting to sidestep the chaos, leaving American buyers scrambling. It's a bold move that underscores the deepening rift in North American trade relations, as allies push back against policies they see as disruptive and economically unsound.
