Nothing dodgy here at all…

“Donald Trump’s son, Barron Trump, reportedly made a stunning $30 million oil purchase just 48 hours before tensions with Iran erupted into open hostilities—an investment that is now drawing intense global attention.

The timing has raised eyebrows as the energy market faces massive disruptions. Qatar has declared a state of emergency and halted gas production, while Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has threatened to cut off gas supplies to Europe. At the same time, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claims control over the critical Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil shipping routes.

Meanwhile in Washington, political tensions are also rising. Congress has voted to block President Trump from ordering new military strikes, yet the Pentagon is pushing ahead with a $50 billion funding request following the loss of nearly $2 billion in military equipment.

On the battlefield, the human cost continues to climb. A recent U.S. strike reportedly sank an Iranian warship, leaving around 150 people missing. In another dramatic development, Russia is said to be preparing to secure Iranian nuclear sites after losing contact with Tehran’s nuclear leadership.

With Saudi oil storage nearing full capacity and global markets on edge, Barron Trump’s massive oil investment has fueled debate about the intersection of private financial moves and a rapidly escalating geopolitical crisis.”

Some of the smaller local elections in GOP strongholds such as Texas they’ve been losing heavily, really heavily. Although his strange core of thugs and evangelicals will always support his nappied arse come what may, circa 20m voters thought he’d be better than Harris on the economy.

Surprise!

"When Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2024, he and his top advisers believed they had hit upon a surefire way to ensure that, this time around, he would not be talked out of anything he wanted to do.

The plan: to surround himself with dyed-in-the-wool loyalists from within his Make America Great Again and America First movements. There would be no voices of dissent, no moderating influences and – as the US President looks around his Cabinet table – definitely no Ed Milibands ready to challenge and dissuade him from wading blindly into geopolitical crises and military engagements.

Arguably, no single event has revealed the success of the Trump’s strategy more than the US’s ongoing “major combat operations” against Iran.

Without a single restraining voice in his ear, he has taken full advantage of his top lieutenants’ green light to assassinate Iran’s supreme leader, destabilise the Middle East, put the lives of US troops at risk, send the global price of oil soaring and leave the US at a greater risk of terror attacks at home.

A casual observer can see Trump’s strategy playing out on television daily. His “Cabinet meetings” are not proper Cabinet meetings – they are made-for-television spectacles in which the President goes around the table and invites praise and plaudits from sycophantic members of his inner circle who, at times, appear to be competing to massage his ego with ever-greater dollops of baby oil."

.........

"In Trump’s second term, there are no experts within his National Security Council willing to present an alternative thesis to the President’s preconceived notions – they were all rooted out the moment Joe Biden left office.

This time around, there are not even any first-term figures such as John Kelly, the former White House chief of staff, or former national security advisers General HR McMaster or John Bolton, who, with varying degrees of fealty, would prostrate themselves before Trump but also occasionally tell him he was wrong.

Instead, the country is left with the cartoonish character of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. He is a former Fox News weekend anchorman who displays all the characteristics of a performing seal as he presents cocksure, tough-guy military briefings that appear designed primarily for the attention of his boss. At times, even the generals tapped by Trump to lead his war shuffle uncomfortably on their feet as Hegseth reaches for the high notes.

These are generals who survived Hegseth’s purges last year, which aimed to remove those whose views were seen as at odds with Trump’s own."

Well gee Marjorie, it’s like it was almost impossible to predict that Trump would go back on his word about anything.

Provocation? A stupid Lego animation? It is no more provocative than Duckie’s Lego head avatar. Why are some people so determined to get us involved in Trump/Netanyahu’s war?

I am sure there is a part of Trump's brain that constantly thinks, "Would it be cool to do a nuke?".

I’m not sure that any part of Trump’s brain is currently functioning after his dead people walking around with no legs comment.

More bizarre stuff coming out of his mouth…

During his speech at the Republican Members Issues Conference held at Trump National Doral in Miami on March 9, 2026, President Donald Trump was discussing election integrity, voter ID requirements, and the SAVE America Act. In the context of criticizing what he described as overly lax rules around proof of citizenship and voter verification, he made the following remark:

"Like voter ID, but you know it can be given to you by your daughter, you know, your daughter, she has to be of age, like above 6 years old, she's allowed to say, you had to see some of this stuff is so bad”

The interest on their national debt is greater than their defence budget.

That's staggering. This crazy war will absolutely decimate them. Hitting the Iranian bank and it's oil infrastructure has set a precedent and exposed similar US interests.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15633735/Pete-Hegseth-billions-Pentagon-cash-lobsters.html

 

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth spent over $93billion of taxpayer money this past September, including huge expenses on expensive foods, musical instruments and technology. 

The cash splashing came ahead of what's referred to as 'Amazon Prime Day' for government agencies, as they must spend the remainder of their yearly budgets or lose the funds by September 30. 

Hegseth's 'use it or lose it' outlay amounted to $93.4 billion in September of 2025 on grants and contracts, the most any agency has spent in a single month, according to government watchdog Open the Books. 

Over half of that amount - $50.1 billion - was doled out in the final five working days of the month alone.

The goal was to spend up the remainder of the Pentagon's fiscal year budget of $849.8 billion as set by the Biden administration.  

Much of the money was spent on food, as in September alone, the Pentagon bought over $2 million in Alaskan king crab.

They also spent $15.1 million on ribeye steaks, $6.9million in lobster tail, $1million in salmon and $26,000 for sushi preparation tables.

The Pentagon also didn't skimp on desert spending, with $124,000 for ice cream machines and $139,224 on donuts. 

A huge chunk of the cash was spent on information technology and telecommunications, amounting to $5.9 billion. 

At least $5.3 million was spent at the Apple Store alone, including 400 brand new iPads at $315,200.

Some of the stranger buys include $98,329 on a Steinway grand piano for the chief of staff of the Air Force's residence and $21,750 on a custom flute from Muramatsu.   

For whatever reason, the Pentagon grabbed $3,160 worth of stickers of children's television characters like Paw Patrol and Dora the Explorer.  

Another big expense was on furniture for various Defense Department facilities, which totaled $225.6 million during last September, less than the Obama administration regularly spent but more than Joe Biden. 

Among the largest purchases was $60,719 in chairs from Herman Miller, with another $12,540 spent on fruit basket stands. 

Notably, while Trump has stressed buying American products, at least $6.6 billion in spending was done with foreign governments and companies.

He's added a mere $1 trillion to US debt recently. Stellar performance.

He's fucked them. Properly. 

Looks like the only country in the Americas with a higher debt to GDP ratio than the US is Venezuela and, according to Trump himself, he's de facto president of both countries.  Should probably get a prize or something for an achievement like that.

Scott Bessent again exhibiting the effect of Trump bran washing, in front of a Congressional committee.....

"Mr Secretary, who was President in 2025 ?"

"President Donald J Trump".

"Who was President in 2024 ?"

"Some will say it was Joe Biden".

If it didn’t screw everyone else as well, that would be justice and just desserts for their rotten electorate. Frankly, if you re-elect him after 6 January 2021, you’re a miserable country.

As it is, he has completely finished them as a superpower and he might as well be gift-wrapped to Xi, although this ‘war’ isn’t going to be great for China either.

Mad Ben has had great value out of the Orange baby as well.
