Donald Trump just had the kind of Monday that tells you everything about his priorities — and none of it is good for the American people.
While families are staring down exploding health-care costs, rising energy bills, and an economy that feels rigged from top to bottom, Trump started his week fixated on… Marjorie Taylor Greene, 60 Minutes, and his own bruised ego.
The catalyst?
Greene’s blockbuster 60 Minutes appearance, where she accused Trump of betraying the MAGA / America First movement, covering for a child sex-trafficking ring, and feeding a wave of death threats in her direction.
Trump’s response wasn’t policy. It wasn’t leadership. It was exactly what it’s always been: a late-stage spiral, live on Truth Social.
Trump vs. Marjorie: From Cult Leader to “Jilted” Soap Opera
Instead of addressing the substance of what Greene said, Trump went straight for the personal attack.
He called her “jilted by me”, adding that she was “probably jilted by other people in her life” too.
He whined about 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl, still fuming over her 2020 interview where she pressed him on Russia — even as he now parrots Russian talking points and pushes Moscow-friendly “peace plans” for Ukraine.
Then came the demand:
He “hereby demands” a complete and total apology from Stahl and 60 Minutes over Hunter Biden’s laptop.
This is what he’s doing while:
- People are living paycheck to paycheck
- Some workers aren’t seeing paychecks at all
- Affordable Care Act subsidies are days away from vanishing unless Congress intervenes
- Families are watching their premiums spike in real time on ACA exchanges
The country’s in crisis. Trump is rage-posting about getting “jilted” and demanding apologies from a Sunday show.
Greene’s response was short and lethal:
“I’m America First.”
For someone as obsessed with loyalty as Trump, that’s not just shade. That’s a fracture.
His Fake AI “Power Move” That Isn’t Real Power at All
On top of the personal drama, Trump decided to announce that he’s going to issue an executive order to make federal law “preempt” all state laws on artificial intelligence — essentially wiping out state-level AI rules and consolidating control in Washington.
There’s just one problem:
An executive order isn’t a law.
If Trump really wanted a federal AI framework that overrides states, he’d have to get it through Congress. He controls the House and the Senate. There’s a 3,000+ page National Defense Authorization Act floating around — if Republicans wanted real AI preemption, they’d legislate it.
Instead, Trump is doing what he always does:
Talk like a dictator, act like a TV lawyer, and hope nobody notices the difference.
And the irony?
The same crowd that screams “states’ rights!” on everything from guns to public health now suddenly wants Washington to force zero-regulation AI onto communities already getting hammered by:
- AI-driven job loss
- Massive, power-hungry data centers
- Higher electricity prices caused by those same facilities
People don’t want unregulated AI written in secret from DC. They want someone to protect their jobs, their bills, and their neighborhoods.
Trump’s executive order doesn’t do that. It’s vapor.
ProPublica Catches Trump Doing What He Accuses Others Of
While Trump spends his days accusing his enemies of “mortgage fraud,” ProPublica quietly dropped a story that blows up his entire narrative.
For months, his regime has insisted that opponents committed mortgage fraud by claiming more than one “primary residence.”
But records show Trump did the exact same thing in the 1990s:
- In 1993, he signed a mortgage for a Palm Beach, Florida home, pledging it would be his principal residence
- Just seven weeks later, he signed another mortgage on a neighboring property — also calling that his principal residence
- In reality, he was a New Yorker. He never lived in either. The properties were rentals from the start, according to people involved in the deals
This is the guy weaponizing the DOJ, screaming “fraud” at his enemies, while his own paper trail matches the exact pattern he’s using as a pretext for investigations.
When ProPublica called him for comment, he hung up.
Jared Kushner, Gulf Money, and the Quiet Foreign Takeover of Media
As if the domestic chaos weren’t enough, there’s a massive media power grab unfolding behind the scenes — and Trumpworld is right in the middle of it.
You’ve probably heard that Netflix is trying to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes CNN. That alone raises major antitrust concerns in an already over-consolidated media landscape.
But Netflix isn’t the only bidder.
Paramount, newly tied up with Skydance but still operating under the Paramount name, has launched a hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. And buried under the press releases is the really alarming part:
- The bid is backed by sovereign wealth funds from Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and Qatar
- The public face of the deal? Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners
The same Kushner operation has already hoovered up influence in gaming (like EA), and now they’re aiming for Warner Bros — while Paramount already controls CBS.
Put that together and you’re staring at a foreign-backed, Trump-family-linked media empire that looks a lot more like a Kremlin or oligarch-style state-aligned network than a healthy, independent press.
Trump spent Monday attacking CBS and 60 Minutes — while his son-in-law quietly positions himself to own the house.
The Economy They’re Lying About, and the Fortune They’re Quietly Building
Trump’s surrogates went on TV Monday trying to plaster a smiley face on a brutal economic reality.
Kevin Hassett bragged about “trillions” in investment and factory groundbreakings, claiming Trump will roll out “positive news” and “patriotic hope.” Rep. Dan Meuser repeated the same script: everything’s fine, waste and fraud are being reined in, just give it time.
Meanwhile:
- Treasury yields are spiking again, driving up the cost of borrowing and signaling serious stress
- China’s trade surplus just crossed the $1 trillion mark, underscoring how badly Trump’s trade war has failed to realign the global economy in America’s favor
- ACA subsidies are expiring without a clear rescue plan, raising health-care costs for millions
And then there’s the Trump family’s personal scoreboard.
Don Jr.’s estimated fortune has reportedly exploded from somewhere in the single-digit millions to over $300 million, buoyed by:
- Crypto deals
- AI ventures
- Stablecoin schemes
- SPACs and foreign-backed entities
While ordinary Americans get crushed by the cost of living, Trumpworld is turning the chaos into a cash machine.
The Pattern Is the Point
Put all of Monday together and a clear pattern emerges:
- A president obsessed with personal feuds and late-night grudges
- Executive orders used as props instead of real policy
- Hypocrisy and projection on fraud and corruption
- Foreign influence and family enrichment quietly expanding behind the scenes
- A political machine insisting the economy is “great” while people slide further into crisis
Donald Trump isn’t fixing anything. He’s spiraling — and trying to drag the country into that spiral with him.
While he posts, insults, and demands apologies, the bills keep coming due for everyone else.
