Trump Accuses Marjorie Taylor Greene Of Setting Him Up For Humiliation
A MAGA brawl broke out on social media on Friday between Donald Trump's team and Marjorie Taylor Greene, after the administration accused Greene of setting up Trump to be confronted by protesters. The White House was referring to the episode last September when an angry citizen said "mean" things to Trump at a DC restaurant, and they're accusing Greene of leaking Trump's dinner plans to the public in order to set him up to be mildly inconvenienced for about a minute. The entire administration is just beyond insane.
Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have been forced to ask a federal judge to step in and force Pam Bondi's Department of Justice to start complying with the law. Specifically, the law is the Epstein Files Transparency Act that requires Bondi to release all available Epstein files, and she has already blown past multiple deadlines without a care in the world. The judge, and Congress, have the option to sanction Bondi in many ways over her failures, the question is whether or not they will use the tools at their disposal to hold her accountable.
Experts are worried that a recession is imminent at this point, and the dismal jobs report that was released on Friday has only exacerbated those fears. The report showed that December job gains were far less than expected, and they mostly happened in low wage sectors. To make things worse, the economy only added half a million jobs throughout ALL of 2025, making it one of the worst years in recent history. Trump is wrecking the economy and the job market, and everything is about to come crashing down.
The Trump administration is currently workshopping an idea to bribe citizens of Greenland with $100,000 a piece to join Donald Trump's side as he continues to push for a takeover of the territory. This sum is not only implausible considering the problems we have in the United States that could be solved with that money, but it is also incredibly insulting to residents to think that they would switch loyalty and be willing to be ruled by an authoritarian for such a small amount of money.
This probably doesn't come as a shock to anyone, but Donald Trump is not sane enough to remain in office, and his diminished mental capacity is exactly why we have the 25th Amendment. But people need to really stop and think about how insane his behavior truly is - the nonstop meltdowns, the manic mood swings, the inability to distinguish fantasy from reality - all of these are things that would get the average person booted from their jobs and possibly placed in a hospital.
