#PeteHegseth slammed "#FatGenerals". He criticized the look of overweight troops, saying: "It's completely unacceptable to see fat generals & admirals in the halls of the #Pentagon."
He said ALL fitness tests would be set to #male benchmarks only [meaning #women will be required to pass those tests] & emphasized the importance of grooming standards.
"The era of unprofessional appearance is over. No more beardos," Hegseth told the audience, which sat in silence.
#Trump, as he departed for the event, told reporters that he would fire #military leaders on the spot if he did not like them.
Trump then opened with a joke as he took the stage, saying: "If you don't like what I'm saying, you can leave the room, of course, there goes your rank, there goes your future."
He then spoke of the #US the military prowess, in often wandering remarks praising US #nuclear #submarines, his creation of the #SpaceForce & military recruiting.
#Hegseth 🤬🧵
#Trump repeated his most recent favorite idiotic claim:
"I have settled so many wars since we're here. We're here almost 9 months."
On getting #Ukraine leader Volodymyr #Zelensky & #Russia President Vladimir #Putin together, he said: "But the only way we can do that is through strength. I mean, if we were weak, they wouldn't even take my phone call." [setting the bar pretty low there Donnie]
"'Will you get the Nobel Prize?' Absolutely not. They'll give it to some guy that didn't do a damn thing. They'll give it to a guy that wrote a book about the mind of Donald Trump & what it took to solve the wars, & he'll get the #NobelPrize," #Trump complained to the assembled #military leaders.
Trump has used a mix of threats, inducements & the power of his office to try to shape the behaviors of allies & foes.
He [nobody else] counts solving conflicts between Armenia & Azerbaijan, Cambodia & Thailand, India & Pakistan, & Serbia & Kosovo among his successes.
Many foreign leaders, including India's, dispute Trump’s claims, that US pressure led to the peace. Others, including Cambodia's, have said Trump's pressure was *helpful*.
And many conflicts remain unresolved, including between Russia & Ukraine, Israel & Hamas.
#Trump repeated the message that #Hegseth touted earlier—that the #military will no longer be "politically correct."
"Merit. Everything's based on *#merit* [loyalty to the Supreme Leader]. You're all based on merit. We're not going to have somebody taking your place for political reasons [🤣] because, they are politically correct & you're not," Trump said.
🤬🧵
"We take the people that are going to do the best job. And so it's very simple. And that's the way our country was built. We were built on merit," #Trump who was born a #white #male #millionaire told the #military leaders.
"We're bringing back a focus on fitness, ability, character [🤣] & strength & that's because the purpose of American military is not to protect anyone's feelings. It's to protect our republic."
[character: #Hegseth & Trump who are criminals & rapists👍]
🤬🧵
#Trump told the #military generals in the audience that the #US government has "brought back the fundamental principle that defending the #homeland is the military's first & most important priority."
"Only in recent decades did politicians somehow come to believe that our job is to police the far reaches of Kenya & Somalia, while America is under invasion from within," Trump said.
🤬🧵
#Trump repeatedly diverged from the purported topic of the future of the #US #military, focusing on several other issues he often highlighted in political rallies.
He spoke about the dangers of #protests against #ICE, & touched on his #NationalGuard dispatch to #WashingtonDC several times, claiming that crime has disappeared in Washington.
He called members of the #media "criminals", & lied about how much money his his #tariffs were raising.
🤬🧵
#Trump returned to his criticism of President Joe #Biden, saying Biden was constantly falling down the #stairs.
Trump said he is more careful.
"I walk very slowly. Nobody has to set a record. I just try not to fall because it doesn't work out well. A few of our presidents have fallen & it became a part of their legacy," said Trump, now 79, who was the oldest man to be elected president when he took office.
"I'm so disappointed in President #Putin," #Trump said.
"I said I thought he would get this thing over with. He should have had that war done in a week. And I said to him, you know, you don't look good. You're four years fighting a war that should have taken a week. Are you a paper tiger?"
"#Hegseth will soon be announcing major reforms to streamline #military acquisitions & expedite foreign military sales," Trump said.
🤬🧵
Already, the remarks by #Trump & #Hegseth are drawing criticism from former #military officials. “I couldn’t be prouder of our highest ranking leaders for maintaining an #apolitical face under immense pressure,” said retired Army Maj. General Paul D. Eaton.
He added, “#PeteHegseth spent millions to fly in all of our generals & admirals to rant about facial hair & brag about how many pull-ups he can do, & have Donald Trump sleepwalk through a list of partisan gripes.”
[that sums it up well]
🧵
The low light of Trump’s speech came when he complained he couldn’t use the “n-word” anymore.
#Trump was speaking to hundreds of #US generals & admirals when he got on the subject of #nuclear weapons. The word nuclear was not one to “throw around,” he said.
“We can’t let people throw around that word, I call it the n-word. There are 2 n-words, & you can’t use either of them.”
“You can’t use either of them,” he said again.

Two positive thoughts about the terrible #Hegseth #Trump meeting with military leaders:
1) I am confident that it hardened opposition more than support among military leadership.
2) Contrary to my expectations, they did not use the gathering to loyalty-test people and immediately dismiss any who failed the test. This was a huge strategic blunder.
I think with regards to the military we are actually in better shape as a result of this meeting.

#TheCryptocalypseChronicles: Make Argentina Gold Again
Is the American taxpayer's bailout of Argentina just a secret bailout of #Tether and the crypto industry? And where did Argentina's gold reserves disappear to?
Over the last year #Tether, the central bank of international criminal finance and the most important company in #crypto, has been buying up agriculture and technology companies in #Argentina under the guidance of #HowardLutnick, #Trump's Commerce Secretary.
Now Trump and Scott Bessent are announcing a $20 billion #bailout for Argentina's Javier Milei, which is coincidentally exactly the same amount of money #Tether just announced it's going to raise in a "private placement".
Oh, and Argentina's #gold reserves disappeared last year, and now Tether is claiming to hold the same amount of gold on its books that Argentina held before its gold did a disappearing act.
It's all very "sus" as the kids say.

It also calls for all remaining hostages to be released within 72hrs of Israel accepting the plan. Trump says Israel would have the “full backing” of the #US to take steps to defeat Hamas if it doesn’t accept the deal.
It is becoming very clear for everybody around the world that we have a US president with severe mental problems. It is all very funny but at the same time he wields enormous (military) power and nuclear weapons....

"This is as malevolent as it is ridiculous, this threat to invade Portland militarily. It's striking that witht this administration, the more extreme it becomes, the more unpopular it becomes, but the more unpopular it becomes the more extreme it becomes."
Trump’s rhetoric — his constant talk of 'animals,' 'invasions,' and 'vermin' — isn’t some sideshow. It’s the main event. And his disciples repeat it like gospel. …
The scariest part? We are nowhere near the bottom. As Trump continues to lash out — at immigrants, at the courts, at the media — the permission structure grows stronger."

Still think calling this a dictatorship is hyperbolic?"
"Today, Saturday, he ordered troops into Portland, Oregon and authorized that they use force, presumably against U.S. citizens.
Let me stop for a moment to observe: This claim that Portland is a war zone and our armed forces must be deployed there is not just a fascist power grab although it is certainly that. It is frothing at the mouth, howling at the moon, eating bugs and bats for breakfast insanity."

PS: It seems clear that #Trump is playing a role here. While he uses tariffs to boost American companies, he scares foreign buyers away from American companies, at least software companies that collect user data. He's creating a #TikTok problem for American software. Microsoft didn't help itself on this front by giving $1 million to the Trump inauguration.
BTW, many other US closed-source software companies gave $1m to the Trump inauguration, among them Adobe, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Perplexity.

Just to be 100% clear, the reason why Hegseth is doing this now is because Trump has plans to use the military for completely illegal purposes real soon now, and he wants to purge all the leadership who will resist that before he does it. It'll far easier to do that when they're all in a room near D.C. than when they're at their stations commanding their troops and can literally rally the troops to refuse the illegal orders.

"Am 8. März entführte die Trump-Regierung in den USA den Palästinenser #MahmoudKhalil .
Beamte des Department of Homeland Security nahmen den Studenten auf dem Campus der Columbia University fest, fixierten ihn in Handschellen und fuhren ihn mit einem nicht gekennzeichneten Auto fort. Gegen Khalil, der ein dauerhaftes Aufenthaltsrecht hat, liegt keine Anklage vor, die Beamten hatten auch keinen Haftbefehl.

Gut, dass wir in Deutschland noch nicht so weit sind, dass die #AfD hier noch nicht an der Regierung ist.
Aber braucht es dafür überhaupt die AfD? Am selben Tag, als Mahmoud Khalil in New York gekidnappt wurde, stellten Politiker:innen von Union und SPD in Berlin ihr Sondierungspapier für die Koalitionsverhandlungen vor.

#Brazil president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, is the first world leader to address #UNGA, after the UN’s secretary general & the Assembly’s president, because of tradition. The representative from Brazil has spoken first since the mid-1950s because, at the time, no other country’s leader was willing to do so. That position is now considered a coveted slot that can help set the tone for the week.
As the #US is the host nation to the #UN HQ in NY, #Trump, will be the second leader to speak.
In a reference to #Trump’s attempts to pressure #Brazil into dropping the# coup case against former President Jair #Bolsonaro, #Lula stresses that foreign intervention in his country’s #judiciary is unacceptable. Impunity for those who try to undermine Brazil’s #democracy is not an option, Lula says.
#Trump announces his teleprompter is not working. He says whoever is operating it is “in big trouble.”
With the telprompter failing, Trump is reading from paper. “We’re the hottest country anywhere in the world,″ he says, talking about the #US, not the #UN on its 80th anniversary.

#Trump also bashed the #UN, claiming he has solved conflicts around the world while the UN did nothing: “It’s sad I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them.”
“What is the purpose of the United Nations?” Trump asked.
Trump goes on & on about how he didn’t win a bid to renovate the UN building long before he became president. He goes on a tangent about construction materials.
#Trump lists the wars that he says he ended: Israel vs Iran, Cambodia vs Thailan, Armenia & Azerbaijan. Then he argued he was doing, as a side job, what the #UN should. “The United Naitons did not even ty to help in any on them.” He added, “All I got from the United Nations was an escalator on the way up that stopped right in the middle & a broken teleprompter.”
#Trump argues that containing #NuclearWeapons has been his No. 1 priority. He talks about the offer he made to #Iran, in hopes of getting it to give up its nuclear program. “Today most of Iran’s military commanders are no longer with us; they are dead,” he says, & repeats the totally debunked lie that the #US attack on #Fordo, #Natanz & #Esphahan “completely obliterated” its nuclear stockpiles.
#Trump bashes #US #allies who are recognizing a #PalestinianState.
He moves on to #Ukraine, without dealing with the issues of #Israel’s efforts to take over #GazaCity, & without talking about his past promises to bring in more #food & #aid.
On Ukraine, Trump again blames his predecessor, #Biden.
He names #China & #India as funders of the war in Ukraine by their purchases of #Russia #oil.
#Trump again *threatens* #tariffs on #Russia — notably not traditonal economic #sanctions — but only if #Europe ends all of its #oil & #gas purchases. He says he learned only 2 weeks ago that European nations were still buying some Russian petroleum products even though it has been going on for the duration of the war — the past 3½ years.
“Your countries are being ruined” because of immigration, #Trump tells the representatives from countries gathered at the UN.
The speech has turned to a wandering series of complaints, including #immigration to Britain and criticism of London’s mayor, Sadiq Khan, who is Muslim. But so far there is no description of a vision for what the #UN should become, 80 years after its founding.
“I’m really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell,” Trump says.
#Trump has gone way off script. And he has gone well beyond the allotted time -- not that anyone will enforce limits when the president of the #UnitedStates comes to speak in the well of the #UnitedNations.
He going off on windmills like a totally ignorant moron. He is lying so much about #ClimateChange it is painful.
He says it’s a hoax & the #UN has lied about it.
“I’m really good at predicting things.…I’ve been right about everything.”
“The carbon footprint is a hoax.”
“We will blow you out of existence,″ #Trump warns anyone moving drugs out of #Venezuela. Yet, for all the time Trump has spent on #immigration & the “supreme power of the United States military,” he has not turned to the technological, military or economic challenge of #China, arms control with #Russia or any of the International agenda of the #US.
#Trump claims that the #UN is financing
waves of immigrants to illegally cross into the #US. In fact, the UN’s #refugee agency & #UNICEF offer assistance like #shelter, #food & #CleanWater to refugees the world over. They run refugee camps in Turkey, Greece & Lebanon for the waves of refugees who leave countries like Iraq & Syria to journey to Europe.
After dismissing #RenewableEnergy, #Trump praises #Germany for returning to #nuclear energy & more #FossilFuels. “All green is all bankrupt,″ he said.
Tump accuses #China of not building #wind farms in its territory. That is incorrect. China’s expansion of wind & #solar capacity overtook #coal capacity in 2025, according to a recent analysis.
#Trump calls #ClimateChange the “greatest con job” ever perpetrated on the world.
Trump undermines scientific consensus on climate change, saying they were “made by stupid people.” In fact, global average temperature has already increased by over 1°C since the start of the industrial era. “if you don’t get away from this green scam, your country is going to fail,” he says.
Trump accuses environmentalists of wanting to “kill all the cows.” There is no evidence for that claim.
The #CleanAir #Trump is bragging about in the #US is a product of #environmental #regulations that the Trump admin is currently gutting.
Trump has spent 10 minutes on “the global warming hoax.” He is celebrating the US withdrawal from the #ParisClimateAccord & “clean, beautiful #coal.” He is talking about American #energy exports & adds, “The United States has been taken advantage by much of the world, but not anymore.”
#Trump criticized the #Brazil government for what he called unfair political persecution. He imposed 50% #tariffs on Brazil in large part for the legal case against Jair #Bolsonaro, the former president, a conservative politician who was recently convicted by the country’s Supreme Court for attempting a #coup. Trump considers Bolsonaro a friend & ally.
Seemingly unrelated to anything at all, #Trump said #Christianity is the “most persecuted religion on the planet.”
🤣
Trump linked #immigration & #RenewableEnergy as the forces “destroying a large part of the free world.”
World leaders have a time limit for their speeches at the General Assembly. When they go over, a red light on the podium goes off. Trump is well over his time limit but the light is not on yet.
#Trump is finally done. He spoke for nearly an hour but managed to say absolutely nothing at all.
Just stream of consciousness nonsense, complaining, bragging, blaming, threatening & #ConspiracyTheories.
People actually applauded at the end. I was shocked people sat through it & no one booed at anything he said that I heard.
#Trump refers to a successful real estate developer called Donald J Trump at the United Nations
Narcissist, much

Ah, Bluesky, my sweet summer child.
You're going to enforce your "rules against harassment and toxic content". And then you'll discover that it's the same set of people doing the toxic shit. And those toxic people are connected to really powerful people from a specific political party.
And suddenly you'll be getting calls from really wealthy fascists asking why you're enforcing this liberal bias by squashing conservative speech...
It's so predictable I can't even. There is no neutral position. If you clamp down on all the hate speech and toxic shit, you will clamp down disproportionately on a specific demographic who will throw a (potentially violent) temper tantrum.
The thing is, Bluesky is fundamentally capitalist. They need money and all the money is with the fascists these days. If they clamp down on toxic fascists, they will clamp down on wealthy fascists and their money will dry up. This won't last.

Toutes les chaînes d'info françaises retransmettent "l’hommage" à Charlie Kirk aux Etats-Unis et notamment le discours de Trump.

If I have to read one more clueless and/or clickbait posting about how the judge "tossed out" Trump's lawsuit against the NYT, I'm going to burst a blood vessel.
He didn't fucking toss out the lawsuit, he told Trump's lawyers to rewrite their shitty complaint.
Which is itself quite embarrassing enough for them, it's not necessary to exaggerate what happened.
Facts matter. If you can't get the facts right then shut the fuck up.

@xs4me2 I think the final quote is more correct than it appears:
“Those who cave in — those like ABC who cave in — what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite,” Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen told MSNBC on Thursday. “When they appease the bully, they put all of us at risk.”
When THEY appease the bully, they put US at risk. And THEY don’t give a fuck about US. They are made safer by appeasing #Trump. They keep their stocks, their cars, houses, planes, etc.
We have to make defying US hurt them more than defying him. Boycotts that tank stocks work. The long pole in the tent of America’s economy is consumption by individuals. We have more power than some of us realise.

@gwagner It’s good. But it would be interesting to search the NYT archives and see how many articles have been written previously with essentially the same topic/same headline. This particular bit of info in the headline has been believed by scientists for decades.
If the NYT ran this story once per year since it was known, there could easily have been 30 or 40 prior articles with the same headline. They’re safe publishing this one because they have decades of evidence that no one will do anything about this one more than they did about all the other similar articles.

I wish Charlie Kirk could see how distraught Trump is over his death.
Speaking out in favor of the full release of the Epstein files in his final months of life clearly forged a bond between the two that will never be broken.
Au Royaume-Uni, le groupe d’activistes qui a projeté les images de la lettre de Trump à Epstein sur une tour du château de Windsor dénoncent des arrestations « ridicules »: « Trump a droit aux honneurs d’une seconde visite d’Etat à nos frais ».

"21st-century fascism is not just about governing through force. It’s also about surveillance. It’s about AI in the service of fascism, as a tool of surveillance. It’s about dismembering the public sector…It’s about systematically erasing history, including data and primary source materials. This is foundational, for fascism —to distort the record or obscure it or simply deprive people of public data so that there is no independent source of fact. We’re seeing that right now. We’re also going to see more intimidation of individuals, more anti-union work, more anti-intellectualism, more loyalty tests."

"Trump is not a man to seek calm. In terms of political violence, he’s an arsonist, not a firefighter. He mocked the assault on Paul Pelosi and joked about 'Second Amendment people' going after Hillary Clinton. He has hailed the January 6 rioters as heroes."

Hey, MAGA Trump jerks!
You say you don’t want political violence? Then STOP preaching political violence!
I work for Meta (Facebook), and I see how often your kind calls for harmful, hateful, and cruel actions toward anyone different from you.
It’s not the single Black mom raising two children who’s calling for violence. It’s not the LGBTQ+ person — who just wants to be loved — calling for violence. And it’s not any of the many other people you seem to hate who are out there inciting it, either.
If any of them are starting to show signs of violence, it’s only because — after a lifetime of being targets of violence, both through constant threats and real actions — they’re finally giving back what you’ve been throwing at them all along.
You reap what you sow!

Heather Cox Richardson comments incisively today on the two big stories in the news, the release of Trump's salacious birthday note to Epstein and the Supreme Court's greenlighting of ICE as it targets people solely on the basis of appearance, language, associates, job choices, etc.
But she wants us see the bigger picture of what Trump's aiming at as he declares "emergencies."
#Trump #fascism #elections #ICE #Epstein #crime #military
/1
https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-8-2025
Richardson notes that Karen Yourish and Charlie Smart report that since Trump took office, he has declared 9 national "emergencies" and one crime "emergency." "Since 1981, presidents have declared on average about seven national emergencies per four-year term. Trump declared that many in his first month back in office, although experts say no such emergencies exist."
What's this about?
"On Friday, September 5, Trump lawyer Cleta Mitchell told Southern Baptist pastor and Newsmax host Tony Perkins that Trump may try to declare that 'there is a threat to the national sovereignty of the United States' in order to claim 'emergency powers to protect the federal elections going forward,' overriding the Constitution’s clear designation that states alone have control over elections."
The sordid Epstein saga and the attack of ICE masked thugs on immigrants with the blessing of the corrupt Supreme Court are not mere noise. But the big prize for which Trump is aiming appears to be control of the electoral process, and the threats to sic the military on big Democratic-voting cities led by Black mayors is all about that prize.
On the racial/racist subtext here, see Jemar Tisby:
"Trump isn’t just targeting Democratic strongholds.
He’s targeting Black leadership. Chicago, L.A., Baltimore, Oakland—all run by Black mayors, often Black women."
Those diverse major urban centers not only vote Democratic: they have Black leaders, often Black women leaders. And Trump's going after them single-mindedly.

Here's how censorship is starting to work in US universities:
"A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum."
https://www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/am-dean-professor-removed-following-student-complaints-over-curriculum/
PS: Watch the video. The student didn't say to the prof, "I think you're teaching something untrue. Can you say more about the evidence?" She said, "You're teaching something that Donald Trump says is untrue." When the student brought her "documentation" to the university president, he fired the prof and the dean of her school.

Update with some new facts. Not only did the Texas A&M president, Mark Walsh, fire the professor and her dean. He also fired her department chair.
https://www.texastribune.org/2025/09/08/texas-am-video-professor-student-gender-identity-content/
The excuse is that at least a sentence of the professor's comments in class didn't fit the published course description. We're still waiting to hear that uttering something Donald Trump says is untrue had nothing to do with it.
The Board of Regents defended the firings by saying that it would "not tolerate actions that damage the reputation" of its institution. Too late.
Walsh himself is not safe. Texas governor Greg Abbott called for Walsh to be fired for "offering DEI-related courses" and “targeted student recruitment”.

From #StephenGreenblatt, "We Are Watching a Scientific Superpower Destroy Itself."
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/opinion/universities-science-trump-china.html
A few of his points:
* Sputnik (1957) triggered bipartisan support for massive new spending on US research. Southern conservatives worried that feds would use the money to desegregate universities, & barred the govt from dictating curriculum, administration, or hiring. The Trump admin is now conditioning federal funds on precisely those demands prohibited by post-Sputnik federal law.
* While the US was racing ahead on research funding, Soviet science was held back by the influence of Lysenkoism. Today, US research is controlled by people like RFKJr, "a kind of Lysenko lite".
* After decades of generous federal spending, "by the 1990s, American universities had become global cultural icons — envied for their intellectual breadth, celebrated for their academic freedom & eagerly sought after by international students who viewed them as the apex of open inquiry & prestige. The government hadn't intended to create autonomous, cosmopolitan knowledge institutions, but the scale of its investment — & the relative insulation of universities from direct political control — helped to make those institutions into supreme civilizational achievements."
* Just before Trump took office, 8 of the top 10 universities by research publications were American. Today, one is American, one is German, & the rest are Chinese.
@leafwarbler.bsky.social Just like they were so upset about electing the oldest president in US history. Everyone opposed to electing old men got really quiet suddenly.

@blag What makes me mad about this is that it’s not the Americans rejecting it. It’s a Spanish company that is doing this out-dated behaviour called “following the rules.” They should do what #trump does: ship it anyway and don’t pay the taxes. Dare administration to try to collect.
I wish these companies would not change at all. Just keep doing what they were doing. The US is not prepared to collect the taxes, enforce the rules, etc. It is entirely possible (maybe even likely) that the exemption will be restored and retroactively forgive anyone who didn’t pay the taxes on de minimus goods. Then the people who didn’t change will have a huge advantage over people who operated in good faith and tried to obey the rules.
The other thing companies should do is make sure they do not keep records of the tariffs they should have collected but didn’t. If anything ever happens, it’s just “whoops! The law changes so fast we didn’t have time to update our systems…”

"Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military," he added.

#Trump has long questioned the US electoral system & continues to falsely claim that his 2020 loss to Democratic President Biden was the result of widespread fraud. Trump & his Republican allies also have made baseless claims about widespread voting by non-citizens, which is illegal & almost never occurs.
I did not even know that the President had the power to end unions for federal workers!

L'Ukraine reconnaît que les troupes russes ont pénétré la région de Dnipropetrovsk, dans le centre-est du pays, un territoire qui n'est pourtant pas revendiqué officiellement par Poutine. On ne va pas se mentir, ça sent la fin pour l'armée ukrainienne, qui s'est battue vaillamment. Mais face au géant russe et au lâchage des Etats-Unis, aucune chance de résister plus longtemps...

Convoqué, l'ambassadeur de Trump Charles Kushner... ne s'est pas présenté. L'ambassade a envoyé un simple chargé d'affaires pour se faire sermonner après l'envoi d'une lettre critiquant le supposé "l'absence d'action suffisante" de Macron "pour combattre l'antisémitisme". "C'est une énorme humiliation", souffle un diplomate. "Les coups de pression vont s'accentuer" avant la reconnaissance de la Palestine par la France.

Trump's administration is considering imposing sanctions on European Union or member state officials responsible for implementing the bloc's landmark Digital Services Act, over U.S. complaints that the law censors Americans and imposes costs on U.S. tech companies.
Trump has long quested after a Nobel Peace Prize. But unlike a U.S. presidential campaign, winning a Nobel Peace Prize depends on an electorate of five, but at least three of the five Norwegian deciders have criticized Trump publicly.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/08/25/trump-nobel-peace-prize/
Journalist and historian Garrett Graff writes,
"The United States, just months before its 250th birthday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped over the edge into authoritarianism and fascism. In the end, faster than I imagined possible, it did happen here."

"American fascism looks like the president using armed military units from governors loyal to his regime to seize cities run by opposition political figures and it looks like the president using federal law enforcement to target regime opponents."
"American fascism looks like the would-be self-proclaimed king deploying the military on US soil not only not in response to requests by local or state officials but over — and almost specifically to spite — their vociferous objections."
"America has become a country where armed officers of the state shout 'Papers please!' on the street at men and women heading home from work, a vision we associate with the Gestapo in Nazi Germany or the KGB in Soviet Russia, and where masked men wrestle to the ground and abduct people without due process into unmarked vehicles, disappearing them into an opaque system where their family members beg for information."
So there is currently a lot wild speculating going on with #Trump's health
One theory is #CongestiveHeartFailure #CHF
Which would mean progressive enfeeblement and a cascade of very serious complications
On what timescale? Months? Years?
Who knows. Don't listen to anyone certain about anything, as none of us have access to Trump's medical records
But there is *something* going on
And what is going on is *not* minor
@newyorktimes Why make it sound like #Trump gathers evidence and then makes decisions? That’s plainly not what happens. It’s stupid to frame it like that.
Cet escroc qu'il a lui même pardonné que #Trump a offert à la France comme ambassadeur des USA, Charles Kushner, le beau-père d'Ivanka, vient de démontrer en accusant la France de surfer sur l'antisémitisme que le mouvement #Maga n'était en réalité qu'un sionisme, déportation des étrangers, mépris de la loi internationale, volonté d'annexer le #Canada et de s'emparer du #Groenland

"Why is Trump so panicked about his connection to Jeffrey Epstein? Because he’s dirty all the way up to his triple chins. Have you followed any of the Epstein stories lately? If you did, you would have seen this stunning number that is thrown around so frequently, it has completely lost its meaning: 1,000 victims of Jeffrey Epstein. The horror of that number and what happened to those girls incomprehensible."
"Epstein was a disgusting piece of shit who spent most of his adult life raping and sexually assaulting underage girls. The reputation of anyone who associated with him socially, in business, privately or publicly is covered with the DNA of those crimes.
Donald Trump has Epstein DNA smeared all over him. He tries to hide who he is with concealer pancake make-up. It doesn’t work. We know who he is. He is Jeffrey Epstein’s best friend."
"Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA): 'Only 3% of the documents given to the Oversight Committee are new. The rest are already in the public domain. Less than 1% of files have been released. DOJ is stonewalling. The survivors deserve justice and the public deserves transparency.'"

"[Rep. Garcia] confirmed that while 33,000 pages arrived on Friday, the overwhelming majority were duplicates. Of the thousands of pages, only a sliver contained new information.

@dalias It is constant Obama jealousy. Obama won the peace prize 12 days into his first term. It was debatable what he had done to earn that. A lot of people were surprised at the time. Though I like Obama a lot, I’m not sure he had accomplished much for world peace in so short a time.
But #trump is obsessed with Obama. Hence the peace prize nonsense.
Donald Trump just interrupted his own Press Conference to brag about getting a photo from Vladimir Putin that he will be signing and sending back.
He then says that Putin wants to be at the World Cup in Washington DC, and says he's been very respectful.

Before Trump’s return to power in January, NATO confirmed Ukraine’s “irreversible path” to membership.
The president, who has framed mental health as a national crisis, paused rules to hold insurers accountable for unlawfully denying coverage. And Congress cut funding to the agency that enforces insurers’ equal treatment of mental and physical health.

Le bilan de la rencontre Trump-Poutine aurait pu être pire, selon Le Figaro qui qualifie le sommet « d’humiliation auto-infligée ». Au moins, le président US n’a pas lâché l’Ukraine. Pour Le Figaro, c’est « Marco Rubio qu’il faut remercier, le secrétaire d’État incarnant, au sein de l’équipe trumpiste, l’aile de la fermeté face à Poutine ». C’est dire l’état de désolation de l’administration Trump… https://www.lefigaro.fr/international/a-anchorage-l-ascendant-de-vladimir-poutine-face-au-bateau-ivre-de-la-diplomatie-americaine-20250817

Bitcoins, jet luxueux, accords avec les Saoudiens... Le clan Trump aurait amassé 3,4 milliards de dollars depuis son retour à la présidence des Etats-Unis, selon les calculs du New Yorker. Un "jack-pot", observe le journal. Le dirigeant avait prévenu les Américains avant sa réélection, se plaignant d'avoir perdu de l'argent lors de son premier mandat. Il se rattrape et le pays est devenu une kleptocratie https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/08/18/the-number
Macron s’en prend aux "somnambules" qui, selon lui, n’ont pas vu venir la guerre en Ukraine, avant son départ pour Washington à la rencontre de Trump: "Ceux qui pensent qu’on peut être libre en étant faible, ceux qui pensent qu’on peut être libre en continuant de vivre comme s’il n’y avait pas la guerre à nos portes sont ceux qui préparent la défaite de demain", affirme le président. Une variante du "Qui aurait pu prédire", en somme...
"Compiled in just two months by five “independent” researchers hand-selected by the climate-sceptic US secretary of energy Chris Wright, the document has sparked fierce criticism from climate scientists, who have pointed to factual errors, misrepresentation of research, messy citations and the cherry-picking of data."

2/2 "Even the choice of #Alaska is a concession, and an odd one. Russians [...] routinely claim Alaska for #Russia. As one of Putin's special envoys put it, Putin's journey to Alaska is a "domestic flight."
Inviting people who claim your territory inside your main military base on that territory to discuss a war of aggression they started without any participation of the country they invaded -- well, that is just about as far as a certain logic of fantasy can go. It is Ultima Thule."
#Trump
Timothy Snyder: "The premise of Trump's foreign relations is that foreign leaders can be dealt with like Americans, with fantastic promises and obnoxious bullying.
The fantasies do not function beyond America's borders. The empty offer of a "beautiful" future does move dictators who commit crimes for their own visions, or affect people who are defending their families from a criminal invasion."

"He’s got lousy poll numbers. He’s got pushback over the Epstein files and there’s a backlash in the heartland over the Big Beautiful ill. So, Trump is putting a lot of things out there and this was another opportunity to seize to change the narrative."

"Trump has made extraordinary concessions to Russia in exchange for nothing at all. Russia has repaid him by continuing the war and seeking to win it -- and by laughing at Trump on state-controlled television."
~ Timothy Snyder
"What are those concessions? Just by meeting Putin in Alaska, Trump gives the Russian dictator a chance to spread his own story of his invasion of Ukraine, both to the Americans around Trump and to the American press. By shaking hands with an indicted war criminal, Trump signals that the killings, the tortures, the kidnapings do not matter."
"Donald Trump is desperately trying to bend reality to his whim. He wants you to ignore your eyes and ears and just believe whatever crock of nonsense he peddles.
On Thursday, Trump held an event in the Oval Office where he declared:
'Inflation is down to a perfect number, hardly any inflation at all … we’ve ended Biden’s inflation nightmare.'"

"Wholesale prices rose far more than expected in July, providing a potential sign that inflation is still a threat to the U.S. economy, a Bureau of Labor Statistics report Thursday showed.
The producer price index, which measures final demand goods and services prices, jumped 0.9% on the month, compared with the Dow Jones estimate for a 0.2% gain. It was the biggest monthly increase since June 2022."

"As with the CPI [Consumer Price Index], the PPI [Producer Price Index] was declining when Trump came to office and now it is rising again. Trump’s economic agenda - particularly the tariffs - has re-ignited inflation. Period. Hard stop. He has spectacularly betrayed the central promise of his campaign to lower prices and make things better for working people."

Macron s'agite depuis Bregançon à coups de grandes déclarations mais c'est l'Allemand Merz, et le président finlandais, Alexander Stubb, qui jouent un rôle important car Trump a une bonne opinion d'eux. "Le chancelier est un ancien banquier, donc ça plaît à Trump et il joue au golf avec le Finlandais", souligne un diplomate, qui raille un Macron "un peu hors du coup". Un ancien banquier d'affaires, pourtant...

Le sommet Trump-Poutine n'a abouti à aucun accord de cessez-le-feu ou concession de la part de la Russie. "Honnêtement, on ne peut pas être déçu car on ne s'attendait à rien de sérieux", confie un diplomate du Quai. A ce stade, les chancelleries européennes se demandent surtout dans quelle mesure Poutine ne serait pas en train de réitérer sa stratégie de 2014 en Crimée: faire semblant de négocier tout en continuant la guerre.
