EO’ing his way through life…

Yesterday President Shitshow sent out 2 “Lie Social” posts.

Hours later he posted this…

CNN explained this isn’t his first time trying to lower drug costs.

The press conference has started…

The federal register has his EO total at 147.

Tariffs…

We have a 90 day pause on the tariffs between the US., and China.

This 90 day pause let’s China pay 10 percent on US goods.

This 90 day pause let’s the US pay 30 percent on Chinese goods.

Treasury Secretary said it’s former President Biden’s fault that President Shitshow had to do what he did.

Qatar’s gift…

Yesterday, ABC News reported that according to sources President Shitshow would be given a plane during his visit to Qatar…

In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar — a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.

The gift had been expected to be announced next week, when Trump visits Qatar on the first foreign trip of his second term, according to sources familiar with the plans. But a senior White House official said the gift will not be presented or gifted while the president is in Qatar this week.

Anticipating those questions, sources told ABC News that lawyers for the White House counsel’s office and the Department of Justice drafted an analysis for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth concluding that is legal for the Department of Defense to accept the aircraft as a gift and later turn it over to the Trump library, and that it does not violate laws against bribery or the Constitution’s prohibition (the emoluments clause) of any U.S. government official accepting gifts “from any King, Prince or foreign State.”

Sources told ABC News that Attorney General Pam Bondi and Trump’s top White House lawyer David Warrington concluded it would be “legally permissible” for the donation of the aircraft to be conditioned on transferring its ownership to Trump’s presidential library before the end of his term, according to sources familiar with their determination.

Ali Al-Ansari, Qatar’s media attaché, said in a statement that the transfer of an aircraft for “temporary use” as Air Force One is current under consideration by Qatar’s Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense.

According to aviation industry experts, the estimated value of the aircraft Trump will inherit is about $400 million, and that’s without the additional communications security equipment the Air Force will need to add to properly secure and outfit the plane in order to safely transport the commander in chief.

As the Wall Street Journal first reported, the aviation company L3Harris has already been commissioned to overhaul the plane to meet the requirements of a presidential jet.

ABC News. 05/11/2025.

President Shitshow confirmed the reporting in a “Lies Social” post last night.

He omitted that the “gifted” plane would be transferred to his “library” just prior to his term ending in 2029.

This morning during his big pharma bad presser he melted down over being asked about the foreign country “gift”.

At first, he was less emotional.

Show more =’s TRUMP: I think what happens with the plane is that we’re very disappointed that it’s taking Boeing so long to build a new Air Force One … I think that was a very nice gesture

He’s far more emotional when pressed on the issue.

show more =’s TRUMP: You’re ABC fake news, right? Let me tell you — you should be embarrassed asking that question. They’re giving us a free jet … when they give you a putt, you pick it up and you walk to the next hole…

He tells some story about a golfer…

Still in all his feels…

I have confirmed that Pam Bondi our cosplay AG did work for Qatar.

Show more =’s But Attorney General Pam Bondi (who received $115,000 per month to lobby for Qatar) says that Emoluments Clause doesn’t apply to gift of $400 million aircraft from Qatar that will ultimately go to Trump presidential library foundation! As if using alter ego of library foundation is meaningfully different from giving it directly to Trump?!? White House says that Trump administration “is committed to full transparency,” so let’s see that legal analysis.

The craziest shit about all of this; they started a whole impeachment inquiry on the “Biden’s” taking bribes from foreign governments. Obviously, that never amounted to anything, but here we have a sitting President accepting a “free” gift from a foreign country.

It’s so obviously bad that even Laura Loomer issued a statement…

I know, she gives her president a free pass; she’s still a cult member. It’s her influence though over other cult members is how come I’m sharing her statements lately.

He was asked if he intended to use the plane after he left office, he said “no”.

The presser today was as wild as you expected.

Prior to his presser he posted this to “Lies Social”…

More than 90 percent would be “free”.

He is big mad countries with universal healthcare have price controls; that means the government sets the prices on what a drug can cost. This happens when tax dollars are paying for the medications of most people in the country.

Show more =’s we’re gonna tell those countries, like those represented by the EU, that that game is up. Sorry. If they want to get cute, then they don’t have to sell cars into the US anymore.”

It seems clear to me, what his goal is; not to lower our prices on drugs, but instead to force other countries to pay more for those same drugs.

The head of the FDA carried on taking about cars.

A President Shitshow presser wouldn’t be completely without Shitshow cabinet members praising the Orange One.

A few twitter users asked “but did they call him “sir!”…

To wrap up the post…

He’s got a friend that takes the “fat shot drug”.

It’s not price control that’s what was before, when we had a “stupid” president…

And he’s off…

If only they’d keep him…
