Trump is....an AI genius?

"Have you ever used ChatGPT or Claude?" NBC News' Tom Llamas asked the president in a recent White House sit-down.

"I haven't really, but I know all about it," Trump replies. Then, he insists, "AI is a big deal. It's going to be maybe the biggest thing. Bigger than the internet, bigger than anything else."
Trump is....monetizing his position in office.


From Former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy — a Fox News contributor and National Review columnist no less.
“You know what the difference is between the Biden family business and the Trump family business?” McCarthy wrote. “You’d have to add two digits to the sum of Biden abuses of power, foreign entanglements, and corruption alleged in the report to get near what Trump has raked in just from the UAE.”

Trump is ignoring another of his promises..
When taking office in January 2025, Trump said he wants the SPR filled to its full authorized capacity — “right to the top.” This has been a stated goal of his administration.
A Department of Energy order lists “refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve” as a priority under his administration.

A single ~1 million-barrel buy represents the only confirmed addition under new contracts in 2025 publicly announced so far.

2025 started with SPR at 55.1 % of capacity. 2025 ended with SPR at 57.9 %
Trump is....OMG. we can't let this happen!

The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup.

As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump is....reportedly not inviting Democrat Governors to national Governor's meeting.

The National Governors Association said it will no longer hold a formal meeting with Trump when governors are scheduled to convene in Washington later this month, after the White House planned to invite only Republican governors.

WOW. I looked in the dictionary
Trump is....winning?!?! (not)

According to a Rasmussen survey released on Tuesday, 56% of likely U.S. voters disapprove of Trump’s performance thus far in the White House. The numbers got worse from there, especially when his performance was compared to that of former President Joe Biden.

According to the latest numbers, 29% strongly approve of Trump’s job performance, while 46% strongly disapprove.

When asked who did a better job as president, 48% answered with Biden and 40% answered Trump. Another 8% say they have performed about the same. The survey was conducted between February 2-4 among more than 1,000 likely voters. It carries a margin of error of 3%.

Rasmussen is widely considered a conservative polling outlet favorable to the president, and he’s often cited them to talk up his approval among voters. Rasmussen’s social media accounts regularly boost conservative talking points and culture war issues, while slamming Democrats and the left as out of touch.

Trump is....setting another new record for the US!

The United States has fallen to its worst-ever position in a leading global index that measures perception of corruption in the public sector among independent experts and businesspeople.

The world’s most powerful democracy last year slipped one notch to 29th place, out of 182, in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). That’s the lowest rank since 2012, when the index, established in 1995, was relaunched using new methodology.

In its new position, the United States tied with the Bahamas and was beaten by Lithuania (28), Barbados (24) and Uruguay (17).

We define corruption as the abuse of entrusted power for private gain.

Corruption erodes trust, weakens democracy, hampers economic development and further exacerbates inequality, poverty, social division and the environmental crisis.

President Donald Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao last October, after the cryptocurrency exchange kingpin was sentenced to prison for failing to stop criminals from using his platform to move money connected to Staff Edit - Biomed1 and terrorism.

Asked why he pardoned Zhao, Trump literally couldn’t say.

“OK, are you ready?” Trump told CBS News. “I don’t know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt.”

Turns out Binance holds 87% of the Trump family’s “USD1” crypto-coin, worth around $4.7 billion. In a “fun” wrinkle, since Binance is prohibited from serving U.S. customers, that means Binance is sitting on $4.7 billion in Trump crypto reserves that belong to foreign interests.
Trump is....pushing to increase Department of War energy costs.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/president...eration-fleet/

Given our Nation’s vast coal resources and the proven reliability of our coal-fired generation fleet in providing continuous, on-demand baseload power, it is imperative that the Department of War (DOW) prioritize the preservation and strategic utilization of coal-based energy assets.

Sec. 3. Power Purchase Agreements with Federal Installations. The Secretary of War, in coordination with the Secretary of Energy, shall seek to procure power from the United States coal generation fleet by approving long-term Power Purchase Agreements, or entering into any similar contractual agreements, with coal-fired energy production facilities to serve DOW installations or other mission-critical facilities, with priority given to projects that enhance:
Coal Power Reliability
https://www.utilitydive.com/news/con...vation/808846/
North American Electric Reliability Corp. data shows coal plants break down more frequently than gas, hydropower, or nuclear at an 11.4% average unplanned outage rate. Third-party analysis of NERC data reveals coal has the highest “equipment-related outage rate” of all generation sources.
Coal Power Costs
admittedly from chatgtp:
Summary Comparison (LCOE range):
Coal: $50 - $120 per MWh
Natural Gas: $40 - $100 per MWh
Nuclear: $100 - $130 per MWh
Solar: $20 - $60 per MWh
Wind: $30 - $60 per MWh
Hydropower: $20 - $80 per MWh
Biomass: $70 - $130 per MWh

Coincidental, I'm sure


Mr Peabody's coal train has hauled it away.
