Look, I don’t care who anyone votes for, but if we’re gonna talk about truth, then we’re gonna talk about the actual track record here. Because Trump didn’t just bend the truth; he treated it like a balloon animal at a kid’s birthday party.
Here’s a non exhaustive list of things he said that were so false they needed their own witness protection program:
There’s a caravan of bad people coming from South America.
Yeah, it was mostly families and asylum seekers, not a traveling supervillain convention.
Democrats will take your guns.
Regulations ≠ confiscation. But fearmongering is great for merch sales.
I passed the biggest tax cut in history.
Not even close. But hey, if you ignore math, it sounds impressive.
COVID is totally under control.
It was spreading like wildfire while he was basically doing PR for a virus.
Anyone who wants a test can get a test.
People were driving hours and getting turned away. But sure, “anyone.
We built a brand new wall.
Most of it was replacement fencing. That’s like repainting your garage and calling it a mansion.
Mexico is paying for the wall.
Mexico: No.
U.S. taxpayers: Guess who actually paid.
We had no terrorism during my presidency.
Multiple attacks happened. You don’t get to erase events because they’re inconvenient.
I created the greatest economy in history.
Economists looked at the data and said, That’s adorable.
Inflation is stopped.
It was rising. Like visibly. Like “check literally any chart rising.
Consumer prices are down.
Every grocery receipt in America said otherwise.
Tariffs are paid by China, not Americans.
That’s not how tariffs work. At all.
We’re energy independent.
Still importing millions of barrels. Independence by imagination.
Alabama is in the path of Hurricane Dorian.
It wasn’t. But a Sharpie was bravely deployed to fix that.
We’re building ports in Colorado.
Colorado is landlocked. Very landlocked.
we can inject disinfectant.”
Doctors had to go on TV and say,
Please don’t drink cleaning products.”
In 2020. In real life.
There are literally hundreds and hundreds more but i’m tired and want to lay down and punch myself in the hard until i fall asleep.
Trump voter remorse is almost entirely concentrated in the swing voters who gave him a shot in 2024
fortune.comElon Musk's baby mama Ashley St. Clair reveals that he used "space technology" in the 2024 election and implies that he STOLE it for Donald Trump
Elon Musk's baby mama reveals that he used "space technology" in the 2024 election and implies that he STOLE it for Donald Trump.
This deserves a full federal investigation by Democrats...
"In October, Elon tells me that he is ready to release his, in his words 'anomaly in the matrix' And I am like, oh, like, who's that? And he says that he has 10,000 lasers in space, referring to his satellites," said Ashley St. Clair, one of the many women whom Musk has impregnated and then promptly began treating like dirt.
"I say, because I am like, rather uncomfortable, and I know the gravity of what he's trying to tell me right now. I say, 'Wow, finally, a focus on the Jewish vote. He keeps going," she continued. "And he says, you know, this is not something on, this is not a piece that they'll see on the chessboard."
"And I straight up tell him, I say, I would ask more, but I really don't want to be deposed, to which he says, very wise," she added.
The implication here is clearly that Musk was doing something illegal and that St. Clair wanted plausible deniability.
"Shortly after that, you know, he's involved with AmericaPAC and all of this other stuff, and he's sending me some internal data from AmericaPAC, real time delta vote metrics," recounted St. Clair. "And I am just like, how the f*ck do you have this sort of data? You don't get this from door knocking, because one of my first jobs in politics was in campaigns and cleaning up this bad data from door knocking, because the vendors that AmericaPAC is using at this point is a vendor that hires Craigslist crackheads for door knocking. And I wish I was exaggerating there, but I'm not."
St. Clair said that she now recognizes that she "caused harm" with her "rhetoric" when she was leaning into being a far-right persona, but claimed that she only ever wanted what's "best" for America. Clearly, she feels that she can no longer in good conscience remain silent on 2024.
"And one thing is I have always, always hated big tech," she said. "So then to have arguably the most powerful man in the world, who is sending me things about, you know, using his space technology in the election. I should also say that I have all of this backed up with many people with explicit instructions, should anything happen to me, okay."
"But this was something that I was internally wrestling with, while publicly not really showing that I was having any of these internal ethical conflicts with myself regarding this information," she went on.
"And then on election night itself, Elon, you know, left Mar-a-Lago early. I was at Mar-a-Lago and he told me, he told me over text, he's like, 'Yeah, I knew hours ago that Trump won. My team has the best real-time data anywhere,'" said St. Clair.
"First of all, how the f*ck do you have real-time data on elections?" she continued. "How do you have real-time data? I could not understand that. I don't know that I ever will. I just, I saw some shit, guys. Like, I saw some shit and I'm fighting really hard to keep my voice because I saw shit that impacts everyone. And if I was self-interested, I have been offered the self-interested deal to shut up and not talk about anything. But what I can tell you is I've not been offered certain deals just because I know that he's weird."
"Okay. I saw some shit," she concluded.
This woman must be immediately subpoenaed to testify before Congress under oath about the "shit" that she saw. If Elon Musk — who spent $291 million to help Republicans win during the 2024 cycle — really used his technology to illegally interfere in our elections, he must be prosecuted and imprisoned. And if any votes were tampered with, the election must be overturned!

'Not a big fan' - Top Republican breaks with Trump on $1.8bn compensation fund
Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune has split with the Trump administration over its creation of a $1.8bn (£1.3bn) fund aimed at compensating individuals "unfairly" investigated by previous administrations.
Thune, the most high-profile member of Trump's party to criticise the plan, told reporters he was "not a big fan" and did not see "a purpose" for the fund.
The fund is part of a deal that saw President Donald Trump drop a $10bn lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over the leak of his tax returns to the media.

Iran only wants to talk to Obama
Former president Obama negotiated a deal with Iran without firing a shot. The current occupant destroyed it for no reason other than he has never been pro-USA and all he has to do is invoke Obama's name to get his fellow bigots onboard with making stupid, costly and deadly decisions.
Iran has now told him they will only talk to Obama and are done with these silly games coming from the White House. Not surprisingly, MAGAs can't connect the dots that the entire world still respects Obama, his leadership and his sound decision making.

France Opens Criminal Investigation Into Elon Musk Over Alleged X Algorithm Manipulation
French authorities have escalated an ongoing inquiry into Elon Musk and his social media platform X into a full criminal investigation, focusing on claims of political interference and harmful AI-generated content.
The probe, led by prosecutors in France, centers on allegations that the platform’s algorithm may have been manipulated in ways that could influence political discourse in the country. Investigators are also examining content generated by Grok, the AI chatbot linked to X, including reports of illegal material such as Holocaust denial content and sexually explicit deepfakes.
The investigation began in early 2025 after a formal complaint was filed by a member of parliament from the Renaissance party, Éric Bothorel, along with a senior civil servant. It later expanded following additional concerns raised by authorities about platform activity.
In February 2026, French police reportedly conducted a raid on X’s Paris offices as part of the investigation. Musk and former X CEO Linda Yaccarino were invited for voluntary interviews in April 2026 but did not appear, which prosecutors cited in their decision to escalate the case.
X has rejected the allegations, calling the investigation politically motivated and stating it is not cooperating with the inquiry.
The case is being closely watched across Europe as one of the most significant legal actions involving a major technology executive and questions around platform governance, algorithmic control, and AI-generated content.

Trump approval rating falls to 37%, lowest of second term as economic concerns grow- Moneycontrol.com
US President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped to a new low in his second term, falling to 37% as voter dissatisfaction grows over the economy, inflation and the ongoing war with Iran, according to polling released Monday. The survey findings show widening disapproval among independents and increasing concern over cost-of-living pressures ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
About 37% of voters approve of Trump’s job performance, according to a New York Times/Siena poll, down 3% from January. The disapproval among independents has risen sharply, with 69% now saying they disapprove of the president’s performance, compared with 62% earlier this year.
Republican support remains largely intact, but independents, a key swing group, are increasingly negative on Trump’s leadership.
Economic sentiment remains a major factor behind the decline. Around 64% of voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy, while 69% disapprove of his management of cost-of-living issues, according to the NYT survey.
A separate CBS poll found that 65% of respondents believe Trump’s policies are making the economy worse in the short term. Among Republicans, 37% now disapprove of his handling of inflation, an increase of 11 percentage points since March.
Polling also suggests growing backlash over US involvement in the Iran conflict. About 65% of voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the war, while fewer than a quarter believe it has been worth its estimated $29 billion cost, according to the NYT survey.
Nearly 64% of Americans said going to war with Iran was the wrong decision, including 73% of independents.
In addition, CBS polling shows 69% of respondents say they do not understand what is happening in the Strait of Hormuz, while 59% report financial hardship due to higher gas prices.

Meanwhile, 35% of Americans say Democrats have a better approach to the economy compared to 31% who favour Republicans, according to CBS. The NYT/Siena poll of 1,507 registered voters was conducted between May 11 and May 15, with a margin of error of 2.8 points.
GOP redistricting can backfire with high Democtratic turnout. In south Texas, more Democrats voted in the 2026 Primary than in the 2024 Presidential Election. And recall how the Kansas GOP gerrymandered Sharice Davids’ district in 2022, yet she won re-election by a larger margin than last time.

Here's the description for the full video: The GOP are ahead in the redistricting war, but it may backfire nationally. MS NOW Elections Director Kabir Khanna says Republicans drawing out Democratic districts will, “add fuel to the fire in terms of engaging people and driving turnout,” when midterms usually have lower turnout. “There were in 2024 over 9 million skippers on the Democratic side in battleground states, not just southern states, but battleground states,” says Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. “Those voters are coming out.”
