His tactic of deflecting attention from his own misdeeds to "owning the libs" seems to be working. It always does with MAGA.

I watch a YT channel called Pushing the Limits, which is basically a guy shouting at MAGAs who call into his show. He asked one, who was defending Trump over the Epstein stuff if he would vote for Trump if he saw him sodomizing a child in the street. The guy paused then said "Probably not."

I wanna remind everyone that not even two weeks ago over 100 people, including 30 or so children, were washed away in Texas floods, but to distract from how this was an avoidable tragedy had Texas taken offered money to address it, and DOGE’s cutting of the NOAA hadn’t decimated staffing they drop the Epstein shit which blows up. It’s now the biggest news story and do you even hear about Texas anymore? Are they being helped?

Regional charities have been picking up the slack. It should also be pointed out that Trump didn’t do shit for the first several days because Netanyahu was visiting and of course that’s a higher priority. This would’ve been a big scandal had it been anyone else who was visiting.

You can even look at his tariffs on the EU, Japan, Canada, and Mexico in the same way. Those nations have increasingly gone against Israel on the PR side during the Gaza war.

For all the talk about America First, he’s made America significantly weaker. Thanks to his “Liberation Day” tariffs, several nations around the world forced him to drop them. This is completely unprecedented and now there is a documented and proven way to get America to buckle and it’s all thanks to him. Biden didn’t know what day of the week it was but he kept America’s image more intact than Trump, think about that shit. Being Bibi’s bitch is all he’s known for now.

So this was intentionally done to deflect criticism on recovery efforts?

Tim has been saying Trump was friends with Epstein and that the immigration raids have gotten insane and so on. He's been pretty critical about a number of things so I wouldn't read that much into one podcast episode.

You wouldn't read much into a total shift in tone directly after meeting with Trump admin in DC? Well I'm glad I don't think like you then.

Trump’s Commerce Secretary Loves Tariffs. His Former Investment Bank Is Taking Bets Against Them​

Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial services company led by the sons of US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick, is creating a way for investors to bet that President Donald Trump’s signature tariffs will be struck down in court. Traders at the firm’s investment banking subsidiary, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., say they have the capacity to buy the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars in potential refunds from companies who have paid Trump’s tariffs, according to documents viewed by WIRED.

Lutnick ran Cantor Fitzgerald for nearly 30 years until he was confirmed by the Senate in February, when he turned over control of the firm to his sons, Kyle and Brandon, who are both in their twenties. Since joining the Trump administration, Lutnick has emerged as one of the most vocal supporters of the president’s tariff policies, which Lutnick has said would raise “hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars” in revenue for the United States, eventually eliminating the need for Americans making less than $150,000 to pay taxes.



But the investment bank that made Lutnick a billionaire is now letting certain clients wager that Trump’s tariffs will eventually be ruled unlawful, at which point companies that have paid the import duties can apply to get their money back.


In a letter seen by WIRED, a representative from Cantor said the firm was willing to trade tariff refund rights for 20 to 30 percent of what companies have paid in duties. “So for a company that paid $10 million, they could expect to receive $2-$3 million in a trade,” the representative wrote. “We have the capacity to trade up to several hundred million of these presently and can likely upsize that in the future to meet potential demand.”

Cantor has already landed at least one major deal, according to the letter viewed by WIRED. “We’ve already put a trade through representing about ~$10 million of IEEPA Rights and anticipate that number will balloon in the coming weeks,” the Cantor representative claimed.



Experts say the deals are a form of litigation finance, an increasingly popular category of investing in which financial firms seek to make money from potential legal settlements. Many lawsuits can take years to resolve, and the structure can allow individuals and companies to get money upfront or their lawyer fees covered. The catch is that investors may only pay a fraction of what plaintiffs could eventually receive, and profit by pocketing the difference.


“The fact that it’s Cantor Fitzgerald, that raises some questions,” says Tim Meyer, a professor of international business law at Duke University School of Law. “It’s quite interesting that the commerce secretary’s firm is the one that is betting the tariffs will be struck down. That strikes me as very interesting—and quite telling about what those with connections to the administration think about the merits of the tariffs.”

“Secretary Lutnick knows nothing about this decision because he has no insight or strategic control over Cantor Fitzgerald,” wrote Kristen Eichamer, press secretary for the Department of Commerce, in an email to WIRED. “He has fully complied with the terms of his ethics agreement with respect to divesture and recusals and will continue to do so.”
Cantor Fitzgerald did not respond to a request for comment from WIRED.


Trump announced in February that the US would put steep tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). He widened the trade war in April to include nearly every nation that sells goods to the US, which Trump said would now be subject to "reciprocal” tariffs ranging from 10 to 50 percent.

In response, there was a flurry of lawsuits, including one from a group of small businesses that sued the Trump administration in the US Court of International Trade, arguing that the president exceeded his authority and the tariffs should be ruled illegal. The trade court sided with the plaintiffs, but the Trump administration appealed the decision, and the appeals court allowed the duties to remain in place while the case is pending.

That has forced companies to continue paying the tariffs until a final decision is reached, when they may then finally be eligible to apply for tariff refunds. Oral arguments are set to begin at the end of this month, but the case could then go to the US Supreme Court, meaning it may not be resolved for more than a year.

In the interim, affected businesses have argued in court filings that they could go out of business or suffer other harms from continuing to pay tariffs. “The small-business plaintiffs in these cases have basically said ‘this is an existential issue for us,’” says Meyer.

Ryan Petersen, CEO of the logistics technology company Flexport, says that receiving a tariff refund from the US government can be an onerous process, even under normal circumstances. Companies need to file what’s called a post-summary correction, essentially an update to the customs paperwork for a shipment. “When you file those things today, it takes six to 12 months to get your money back once approved. It’s a physical check that arrives in the mail,” says Petersen.

Facing an uncertain timeline and mounting financial pressures, some companies may decide it’s wiser to accept an offer like Cantor’s, even if it means walking away from a potentially bigger refund later. I “think it may be attractive for some people,” says Petersen.

This comes as no surprise. Absolutely every so-called policy of the Trump administration is aimed at robbing from the poor to give to the rich, and every Republican in his administration, including members of Congress, are only interested in how it will benefit them personally.
