President Donald Trump can’t stop talking about, in his showy salesman style, how well the stock market has done during his second presidential term, using the rising tickers for indexes such as the Dow, S&P 500, and NASDAQ as stand-ins for a good economy. But, unfortunately for Trump’s popularity and potentially for Republican candidates who are seen as bearing responsibility with him for the state of the American economy, most Americans see the economic situation as bad and worsening despite any stock market gains.

Waiting for Kei Truck Freedom
In April of 2024, I wrote about the Texas government opening up roads in the state to mini vehicles often referred to as kei trucks or kei cars. Then, in December of last year, President Donald Trump gained attention with his expression of support for these “tiny cars” like those common in Japan being made in and driven around America.
Remember Moderna? It is one of the United States government preferred companies that made big money off the vehement push for virtually every person in America to take their experimental coronavirus “vaccine” shots promoted under the deceptive description of “safe and effective.”
In his February 24 State of the Union Speech, United States President Donald Trump claimed gas prices in America were much lower than they actually were. This was part of Trump’s effort to claim credit for an asserted vastly improved economy. Several days later, the war against Iran, which Trump started along with the Israel government, resulted in gas prices shooting up further.
When Javier Milei won election to the presidency of Argentina in November of 2023, I wrote that he was acting to “move forward enthusiastically in his support of the United States government and the wars of Ukraine and Israel.” Israel, I further noted, “is a nation upon which he has heaped praise and whose new war he supports steadfastly, just as do top US political leaders.”
President Donald Trump will, via an already prepared recording, participate in the “America Reads the Bible” event scheduled to occur at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC on April 19-25. With the whole Bible to pick from for his reading, Trump chose a portion of the book of Second Chronicles that deals with King Solomon’s establishment of the “First Temple” and the potential for its later destruction.
In his Wednesday evening speech to announce to the American people the continuation and potential intensification of his war against Iran, President Donald Trump conceded that as far as oil is concerned the war will bring no benefit for Americans. Instead, he said he is undertaking the war just to help “allies.”
A high-level national security official in the Trump administration resigned from his position on Tuesday. National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent cited as the reason for his resignation that he “cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran.”
Back in 2022, media was reporting on people affixing to gas pumps stickers with a photo of then President Joe Biden pointing toward the gas price display on the gas pumps. The text “I DID THAT!” prominently accompanied the photo on the stickers. People putting the stickers on gas pumps sought to emphasize the judgment that Biden was responsible for the gas price increasing. It looks like those stickers could be making a comeback, with the photo of Biden replaced with one of the current president — Donald Trump.
United States President Donald Trump is coming to resemble more and more the kooky and dangerous characters who led the US into nuclear war in Stanley Kubrick’s film Dr. Strangelove. It is black humor in real life.
