Trump Asked Whether Anyone in His White House ‘Was Giving Any Kind of Tips’ to Wall Street on Tr…President Donald Trump denied accusations that his administration is sharing “tips” on ongoing trade deals with Wall Street executives. Trump was asked during a Friday press gaggle whether he could “commit” that no one in his administration was sharing such information, and the president said he could only commit to himself, but he doesn’t believe anyone would be doing such a thing. “Can you commit that nobody on your financial team was giving any kind of tips to Wall Street executives about deals with India. There was some reporting yesterday that people had heads-up on Wall Street, possibly to make money. Can you commit that did not happen?” Trump was asked on Friday amid his trade negotiations with numerous countries. “I can commit to myself. That’s all I can commit. I have…

Trump Is Running Economic Development In ReverseThe markets are going haywire, and consumer confidence is nosediving. You might be wondering why the Trump administration decided to burn down the healthy economy it inherited. Is it pure incompetence? Or is there a plan?The answer to both questions appears to be yes. The incompetence is undeniable. But the administration does have a plan, or at least a vision, for what will spring up from the ashes. The trouble is that the long-term economic program is even worse than the short-term one.The clearest picture of the new America that is meant to arise from the crash was provided by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in an interview last week with Tucker Carlson. Bessent acknowledged some short-term discomfort—the stock market plunged as he spoke—but in the service of something grand. “On one side, the president is reordering trade,” he said. “On the other side, we…

Trump’s Plan to Sell Out Ukraine to RussiaDonald Trump said on the campaign trail that he would make peace between Ukraine and Russia in a day. Three months later, he’s behind schedule, and his plan now is to end the fighting quickly by selling out Ukraine and its people to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The proposal that Trump, Vice President J. D. Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are pushing is not a framework for peace, but a rich and bloody reward to Moscow for three years of aggression and war crimes.The Russians might do some performative caviling, but the Americans are offering Putin a dream of a deal. If Trump has his way, Washington will lift sanctions against Russia; both sides will accept a cease-fire in place (leaving Russian troops on newly conquered Ukrainian territory), and the United States will agree to recognize Crimea as part of Russia…

Trump’s Understanding of Due Process Is Just As Farcical As His Definition of ‘Alien Ene…Two weeks ago, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously held that foreign nationals threatened with summary deportation as “alien enemies” have a due process right to challenge that designation through habeas corpus petitions. As the Court explained in Trump v. J.G.G., that meant alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua “must receive notice” that “they are subject to removal” under the Alien Enemies Act (AEA) “within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to actually seek habeas relief in the proper venue before such removal occurs.” As the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) notes in a lawsuit it filed on Friday, the Trump administration maintains that it is obeying that order by giving AEA detainees 12 hours to indicate whether they plan to file habeas petitions, then another 24 hours…

Putin, the KGB officer, is laughing.” She continued: Meanwhile the instability at the Pentagon is not helping project strength during these delicate negotiations.
