The Trump Card...

[ATeam]

It must have something to do with the Trump Crime family having holdings in those nations.

Mine was a rhetorical question and I have a different answer.

The Trump administration is propping up the Japanese yen because Japan is in deep financial trouble. They also hold $1.2 trillion is US Treasury securities. An easy way for Japan to ease its pain is to sell a good chunk of those. But if they do, US interest rates will instantly rise, which no number of Trump appointees on the Federal Reserve Bank board can prevent. The market speaks louder than the Fed.

A big Treasury sale by Japan would interfere with Trump's false claim that interest rates are going down. To prevent that negative political development, Trump is happy to do everything he can to prop up the Yen (which is doomed to crash anyway later on); no matter what the long-term negative consequence may be to the US.

Of course I do not approve of any one being doxxed or personally threatened. But answer me this. Why do legitimate police officers wear name tags, have badge numbers, and keep their faces unmasked? What's different about ICE that inspires them to unprofessionally patrol the streets and raid homes as secret police? Why do they need to hide their faces when real police officers don't?

Because they’re being doxxed and threatened for doing constitutionally sanctioned enforcement. There’s reportedly a whole illegal network there in Minnesota doing that: Getting license plates numbers, doxxing, and threatening them. And the local police are given stand down orders to not assist ICE and Border Patrol with public violence . Leaving ICE to do their police work. This is the fault of Minnesota leadership.

As the Trump strongman myth collapses, and his law-breaking loyalists are brought to justice, there is going to be a lot of head shaking under those red caps, and a lot of those caps will be burned.

Your premise is wrong again. Like usual.

History will show how ridiculous the whole Maga movement is and rank it along other fascist regimes.

We don't have to wait for history. It's self-evident now. Masked secret police openly violating the rights of citizens at the direction of a Hitler wannabe.

Such rhetoric is embarrassing. The leaders in Minnesota are at fault. They ordered police to stand down. They didn’t allow ICE in their jails so they were left to apprehend outside them. Without Police backup to prevent agitators from interfering with arrests, which makes it unsafer for ICE and their citizens.

Trump to "De-escalate a Little Bit"

"President Donald Trump said his administration was 'going to de-escalate a little bit' in Minnesota, after the second fatal shooting of a US citizen by federal immigration officers there.

'Bottom line, it was terrible. Both of them were terrible,' he said in a Fox News interview on Tuesday." (Source: BBC)

He may de-escalate but the people will not stop protesting and they will not forget. The Minnesota optics and Trump's lies will haunt Trump forever and define his legacy. The Republicans are going to be destroyed in the 2026 mid-term elections. While it will take a generation to repair the damage this Hitler wannabe has done, the constitution will survive his attempt to subvert it.

People can protest. Just don’t interfere with the constitutionally sanctioned ICE enforcement. Without Minnesota police backup( because leaders told them to stand down )to control the agitators interfering with ICE enforcement, there will be unfortunate incidents like this. Especially if they interfere with ICE operations, resisting arrest or assaulting them.

Democrats flip Texas state Senate seat in shock upset

Texans in state senate district 9, home to over 1 million people, voted for Trump with a +17% margin in 2024, and for the Republican state senator +20%.

In a special election Saturday, they elected the Democrat 57%-43%. That's a 31% swing in a district where a Democrat has not been elected since the early 1980's.

That's a stunning turnaround that compels an explanation. The Texas state Democratic Party Chair offered this incisive analysis:

"... voters are tired of Republican bullsh*t." (Source)

Since January 1, 2025, Democrats have flipped a total of 9 state legislative seats from Republican to Democrat through special elections. Republicans have not flipped any seats from Democrat to Republican during this period.

In other words, the Republicans are going to be DESTROYED in the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.

Trump Trading Cards ... The Outcome

Do you remember when Trump launched his digital trading cards (also known as NFTs)? Here's how that turned out per Google Gemini. Note that
the "insiders serving themselves" is commonly found in all Trump endeavors. It amazes me that people keep falling for it.
------------------------------------
The history of the first Trump digital trading cards is a brutal lesson in blind loyalty. In 2022, supporters rushed to buy these for $99, believing they were joining an exclusive movement. What they didn't see was the "Vault" behind the scenes that kept 1,000 of the rarest cards for the insiders before the public could even click "buy." The game was rigged for the elite from day one. The insiders received the rare cards for free.

By 2026, the vanity has been replaced by a total wipeout of value. The most popular "Godfather" card, which once commanded a $66,000 valuation, hasn't moved in over three years because there isn't a single person left to buy it. For the average person who bought in at the height of the hype, their investment has withered to less than $40. Even at that price, they are stuck with cards they can't sell because the market is a ghost town. This wasn't about digital collectibles; it was a wealth transfer from the base to the boardroom. If you’re still holding these cards, you aren't an investor—you’re the person who paid for a billionaire's payday and got nothing in return.

Trump Phone ... The Outcome

Per Google Gemini:

The "Trump Phone" is the latest chapter in a long-running pattern of political loyalty being treated as a bank account. Launched in June 2025 by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, the "T1" smartphone was marketed as a golden, $499 "all-American" alternative to Big Tech. To reserve one, over 590,000 supporters paid a $100 deposit, expecting delivery by August 2025.

By February 2026, the phone is officially vaporware (emphasis mine). The "Made in the USA" claims were scrubbed from the website after experts revealed the device appeared to be a rebranded $169 Chinese model. Shipping deadlines have been missed five times, with the company currently blaming a "government shutdown" for stalled FCC approvals—an excuse that hasn't stopped any other phone manufacturer from shipping.

Just like the NFTs, the creators have already collected tens of millions in non-refundable deposits while delivering nothing but excuses. While customers wait for a phone that may never exist, the company is ironically trying to upsell them on refurbished iPhones—the very products they were told to boycott. It’s the same old script: the base provides the cash, the promoters provide the "exclusive" dream, and the boardroom is simply nurturing this project to continue collecting new $100 deposits. ("Boardroom" means the specific network of shell companies and insiders that operate this project behind the scenes.)

Trump Victory Watches ... The Outcome

Per Google Gemini:

The Trump "Victory" watches represent the high-water mark of boardroom greed. ("Boardroom" means the specific network of shell companies and insiders that operate this project behind the scenes.) Launched in late 2024, the "Victory Tourbillon" was pitched as a $100,000 Swiss-made masterpiece, while everyday fans were urged to buy the $799 gold-plated version. By February 2026, the reviews are a graveyard of shattered expectations. Buyers report that the $799 "luxury" timepiece is actually powered by a cheap $30 Japanese movement often found in budget mall watches.

Even worse than the quality is the delivery. Hundreds of customers who paid in full months ago have received nothing but automated emails. Those who managed to get a watch frequently find the gold plating flaking off within days or the hands falling loose. When they ask for refunds, they are met with a wall of silence or told that questioning the delay is "disloyal." Just like the NFTs, the boardroom cashed the checks instantly, but the actual product is a low-quality afterthought. It wasn’t a tribute to American strength; it was an $800 lesson in how the establishment uses a famous name to move cheap inventory at a 2,000% markup.

Trump Sneakers ... The Outcome

Per Google Gemini:

In February 2024, the "Never Surrender" high-tops launched as a $399 "limited edition" of only 1,000 pairs. Supporters were told these were rare collectibles that would only go up in value. One buyer, a watch dealer named Roman Sharf, famously paid $9,000 for an autographed pair at a live auction, fueling a massive speculative bubble. But the boardroom couldn’t help itself. As soon as the first pairs sold out, they immediately "nurtured" the project by launching endless variations, from "Series 2" to "Fight Fight Fight" sneakers.

By February 2026, that $9,000 investment looks more like a $7,000 loss. The market is flooded with mass-produced gold sneakers from the same company, destroying the rarity of the originals. Common buyers who paid $399 now find their shoes listed on eBay for as little as $137, with zero buyers in sight.

It’s the same pattern as the NFTs: create artificial scarcity to get the first wave of cash, then kill that value by oversupplying the market. The people who "never surrendered" their money are now stuck with sneakers worth less than half what they paid. In this boardroom, loyalty is just a way to identify the person who will pay for a billionaire's next project. ("Boardroom" means the specific network of shell companies and insiders that operate this project behind the scenes.)

Trump Victory 45-47 Fragrances ... The Outcome

Per Google Gemini:
In July 2025, while the country was focused on a domestic policy megabill, the boardroom launched Victory 45-47—a $249 fragrance line for men and women. ("Boardroom" means the specific network of shell companies and insiders that operate this project behind the scenes.)

To get people to pay up, the marketing promised a numbered, collectible bottle topped with a golden statue of Trump. Just like the sneakers and the phone, it was another pre-order trap designed to collect millions in cash long before any bottles were ready to ship.

By February 2026, the Smell of Victory has turned into the stench of a scam. Financial disclosures reveal the project pocketed $2.5 million almost instantly, yet shipping delays have become the norm for anyone who didn't pay for expedited handling. Supporters who finally received their $249 bottles found that the iconic statue cap was made of hollow plastic, and the scent itself has been described by experts as a generic $20 mall cologne marked up by 1,000%.

The fine print tells the real story: the fragrance isn't even made or sold by Trump, but by a shell company called 45Footwear using his name under a license. It’s the same old script: use a political slogan to sell a cheap product at a massive markup, then hide behind a legal disclaimer when the quality doesn't match the hype. The boardroom is simply nurturing this project to continue collecting new $100 deposits from people who think they are buying a piece of history, but are really just padding the pockets of the project's already wealthy creators.

World Liberty Financial ... The Outcome

Per Google Gemini:

World Liberty Financial was supposed to be the "DeFi revolution" that would take down the big banks. Instead, by February 2026, it has become a textbook case of establishment "pay-to-play." Just days before the inauguration, the boardroom secretly sold a 49% stake in the project to a UAE royal-linked firm for $500 million. ("Boardroom" means the specific network of shell companies and insiders that operate this project behind the scenes.) While the public was told this was a grassroots financial movement, the reality was a boardroom deal that pocketed $187 million for Trump-linked entities before a single product even launched.

The regular investors are the ones paying the price. While the UAE "Spy Sheikh" got board seats and direct access to the inner circle, the $WLFI tokens sold to the public remain "locked." You can buy them, but you can't sell them. Thousands of supporters are watching the value of their holdings sit in a digital cage while the boardroom continues to "nurture" the project by launching new stablecoins and apps. It is the ultimate "closed-loop" scam: the insiders get half a billion dollars in cold hard cash, while the followers get locked tokens and a front-row seat to an ethics investigation. The establishment didn't build a new bank; they built a private exit for themselves.

Now, as the broader market shifts and the hype fades, the reality of the trap has set in. Message boards and social media are filled with early investors begging to be let out of their positions so they can recover at least some of their capital. These cries fall on deaf ears while the boardroom remains silent, offering no timeline for unlocking the tokens. Investors are forced to watch helplessly as the perceived value of their stake crashes in real-time, unable to trade or exit, proving that these projects are really just padding the pockets of the project creators.
