Thank you Whoopi for being so concerned. The View has a mixed race group as your hosts and that is good because the show has a world of experience who are facing the people each day and should use it wisely – not to portray HATE for any person.
Just when you thought the man had seen it all, from business ventures that soared to the heights of Trump Tower to political escapades that shook the very foundations of Capitol Hill, comes a twist that reads like a page from a high-stakes Wall Street thriller.
In a move that’s got everyone from the casual observer to the die-hard supporter on the edge of their seats, Trump’s latest venture, Truth Social, has hit what some might call the jackpot. Shareholders of the shell company that keeps the social media platform afloat have cast their votes, deciding to take the company public. And not just any kind of public – we’re talking NASDAQ under the ticker “DJT.” That’s right, Trump is about to potentially rake in somewhere between $3.5-$4 billion in net assets, according to a report by CBS News.
But let’s not start counting those billions just yet. Converting this windfall from paper to the bank won’t be as straightforward as one might hope. Trump is faced with the dilemma of needing to liquidate his stock before a six-month lockup period ends. Why, you ask? Well, there’s this small matter of a $454 million bond needed for his New York real estate judgment. It seems even billionaires can have cash flow problems.
Letitia James, New York’s Attorney General, is breathing down Trump’s neck, threatening to seize assets if he doesn’t cough up the cash by Monday. Trump’s lawyers are scrambling, but lenders seem to be playing hard to get. Despite possibly having $500 million lying around, Trump might need to double that to comfortably cover his obligations while the appeals court does its thing.
The irony? Truth Social, the brainchild born out of Trump’s banishment from X (formerly Twitter), is not just a platform for free speech; it’s turning into a moneymaker. With $3.7 million in revenue for the first quarter of 2023, despite running at a loss, there’s a glimmer of hope. Could this sale not only bail Trump out but also prove to be a lucrative venture attracting advertisers disenchanted with X?

For all of you President Trump haters – remember what God stated:
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Crucial to Joe Biden’s exceedingly small margin of victory in 2020 was the perception that he was the more serious of Americans’ two presidential choices.
Despite manifold opportunities, Donald Trump never grew into the presidency: he was simply too recalcitrant to learn any new tricks and subordinate his id to the interests of his country, as well as his own political prospects.
Trump’s tendency to incessantly and deleteriously run his mouth extended into many spheres, including foreign policy. He praised North Korea’s Kim Jong Un for being “very honorable.” He showered China’s Xi Jinping with praise for achieving the status of “president for life,” adding that he thought that was “great.”
With considerable justification, he bristled over America’s Nato allies failing to pull their own weight, but went too far in suggesting that the US might leave the alliance as a result. Perhaps most infamously, Trump handed Russia’s Vladimir Putin propaganda coup after propaganda coup at a shameful press conference in Helsinki back in 2018.
Biden capitalised on Trump’s reckless tongue on the campaign trail, saying in 2019 that “American foreign policy… has to be purposeful and inspiring. Based on clear goals, driven by sound strategies, not by Twitter tantrums”. A year later, he assailed his opponent for having “poked his finger in the eye of all our friends and allies” and “embraced every autocrat in the world.” Trump was labelled “Putin’s puppy” during their first presidential debate.
Yet for all of Trump’s rhetorical shortcomings and Biden’s critiques of them, it’s the latter who has more persistently empowered America’s enemies, undermined its allies, and inadvertently sewn chaos across the globe. After spending a two-year campaign cycle pledging to restore America’s image in the eyes of the world, Biden has spent his three-plus years as commander-in-chief doing exactly what he charged Trump with.
Iran, suffering under the Trump administration’s maximum pressure strategy, was quickly given a reprieve at Biden’s direction. In a nostalgic effort to bring the mullahs back to the negotiating table for another nuclear deal, Biden lifted sanctions and eased up on Iran’s terrorist proxies across the Middle East, including Ansar Allah (the Houthis) in Yemen.
Biden has also sought a rapprochement with China in spite of his tough talk prior to his election. In a video released by Antony Blinken in the spring of 2020, the future secretary of state accused Trump of having gone “soft on China when it mattered most.”
Yet as America’s top diplomat, Blinken has overseen an effort to kowtow to the United States’ most formidable geopolitical rival. In a statement commemorating the Tiananmen Square massacre last year, Blinken would only allow that China took action to “brutally repress pro-democracy protesters.” It was a noticeable shift in tone from the prior year’s statement, which acknowledged that “countless were imprisoned and the number of deaths is still unknown today”. The watered-down commemoration came amidst reports that the administration was seeking to hit the reset button with the Chinese regime. That same month, Blinken stressed American opposition to Taiwanese independence after meeting with Xi in Beijing.
While Biden admirable, if imperfect, efforts to aid Ukraine in its defensive war against Russia are laudable, the truth is that the president is guilty of the same appeasement he accuses his Republican opponent of. After-all, it’s undeniably true that in the early days of his administration sanctions linked to the lucrative Nord Stream 2 pipeline were lifted – a move that Donald Trump opposed.
While Biden offers carrots to foes, he wields sticks against his beleaguered friends. As Israel seeks to finish the job of rooting out Hamas in Gaza, Biden has embraced – largely out of perceived electoral interest – the false narrative that the Israeli response to October 7 has been somehow disproportionate.
At a press conference meant to reassure the public of his mental capacity last month, Biden actually shuffled back to the podium to chide the world’s only Jewish-majority state for its “over the top’’ response to the mass slaughter, rape, and torture of civilians. More recently, Biden praised Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for his wildly inappropriate speech in which he called for the ouster of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
And of course, there’s the general air of incompetency about the Biden administration’s namesake and his braintrust, which was best exemplified by its ill-considered, haphazard, and ultimately disastrous evacuation from Afghanistan.
The results of the Biden Doctrine, as it were, have been entirely predictable. The hand of evil has been made stronger, and the hand of righteousness has been weakened. Countless innocent Ukrainians, Afghans, Israelis, Palestinians, and yes, Americans, have died. The United States is less trusted by its friends and less feared by its enemies. A new axis of evil between China, Russia, and Iran has coalesced and American leadership hardly seems aware, much less prepared to face it down.
American foreign policy, it has been said, is supposed to be purposeful in its aims and clear-eyed about the world in which it operates. The criticisms of Trump’s loose tongue leveled by Biden in 2020 may have been well-grounded. But if he recycles them in 2024, one must only look to his own actions to see their irony.

This is the scary part to allow Biden to run lose and make his insane statements to world leaders and the decisions he has made and the people’s money he is throwing around like garbage (trillions), and, lastly, like the border madness – his handlers don’t realize his words are set in stone.
His handlers are not taking his dementia – his brain doesn’t work – seriously. They usually turn on certain people who they know as enemies.
“While President Biden refuses to do his job and enforce immigration laws enacted by Congress, the state of Texas is once again stepping up and taking unprecedented action to protect Americans and secure our southern border,” Abbott said in a statement. “As the challenges on the border continue to increase, Texas will continue to take action to address those challenges caused by the Biden administration.”
We must remember the Biden/Obama Admin are working in conjunction with ONE WORLD ORDER/SOROS to overload our country with immigrants so that we have to succumb to their orders and NOT THE CONSITUTION.
BIDEN/OBAMA are not using the Constitution – are they using SHARIA LAW?
We must know the answer to that. We cannot succumb to sharia law.
Time to consider who you will trust with your money as we can see the Democrats/Biden/Obama are giving it away to migrants, willy-nilly – and filling their own pockets in the mean time.
