And many of our values, such as democracy, human rights, and individual opportunity, are deeply seductive.”

Such a loadout would turn the F-15E in a flying counter-drone and cruise missile arsenal ship capable of an incredible 50 engagement opportunities, minus the gun.

Even Donald Trump’s MAGA Backers are Getting Sick of Him Using Presidency to Make Himself and Family Billions. Donald Trump’s National Golf Club just outside Washington, D.C., is set to transform into the ultimate playground for cryptocurrency moguls. The star-studded event isn’t about honoring contributions to the United States or charity. Instead, it’s about growing the Trump family’s private bank account.

Republicans resist Trump’s takeover at Library of Congress as party question unrestrained power. Quiet resistance from top Republicans has kept Trump officials out — for now. GOP congressional leaders have stood aside the past four months as President Donald Trump has attacked legislative branch prerogatives — shuttering agencies, canceling federal grants and imposing sweeping tariffs. Now he’s meddling in their actual back yard.

Trump’s own words are being thrown back in his face after his latest threat. Author James Surowiecki said, “But Trump has said over and over again that foreign countries pay tariffs, not US businesses or consumers. If that’s true, why would Walmart have to eat anything?” he then asked.
