What’d I Miss?

Reporter: Iran has refused to submit.

Trump: Why do you say that? You don’t know that.

Reporter: They were firing on US ships a few days ago.

I like to end the day trying to figure out what happened today.

If Iran had submitted, the Strait would be open. So…

Trump’s connection to reality ended several weeks ago. At least.

By “market” he means DJIA. All other economic metrics (i.e., the real ones) are irrelevant.

With all of us trapped in it.

Is that supposed to be teacher reading a MAGA book? pic.twitter.com/xIpdMieYGR

What in the name of all that’s holy…?

Is that an egg? With tiny hairs? And fins? And legs?

Is this supposed to be what happens when you read about MAGA? You’re turned into a chimera?

Towery: Trump has a loyal 43 to 44% on any day of the month. And when he is doing well he has got 50 plus. The pollsters are wrong. I'm right pic.twitter.com/ekYIaSMfEQ

The guy you move away from in the bar.

And the latest news in the ceasefire:

There are two possibilities to Trump’s latest “pause” of his strategic improvisation without a plan: 1. The claim of significant progress in negotiations reported by Axios; or 2. It was a total failure so the “negotiations” story was more laundered propaganda. You decide. pic.twitter.com/MeuWNJxpqO

Turns out the President DOESN’T know what he’s doing

“Trump surprised Gulf allies by announcing ‘Project Freedom’ on social media…angering leadership in Saudi Arabia…the Kingdom informed the U.S. it would not allow the U.S. military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan Airbase” https://t.co/95QIyrs5VH pic.twitter.com/Iv2cFauapJ

Color me shocked.

I guess this means Operation Enduring Nightmare is still ongoing.

BREAKING from The Atlantic:

Kash Patel has given out bottles of a personalized whiskey to FBI staff as well as civilians he encounters in his duties, according to eight people, including current and former FBI and Department of Justice employees and others who are familiar with…

Of course he does. Although I have to say, this is how you win.

The journalist who is being sued by Kash Patel and reportedly being investigated by the FBI is out with a new story. Is there a Pulitzer for being a fearless badass? If so, she should win it. https://t.co/bSnJemJ1eo pic.twitter.com/eNU5W7vysH

Trump and the Republican Party understands what American wants right now:

A war with Iran, high gas prices, a taxpayer-funded billion dollar ballroom, a $1.5 trillion military budget, a triumphal arch, and UFC fights at the White House.

— Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) May 7, 2026

Gas prices rose 37% in the last year because of Trump. Had enough yet?
