Some of the news tRump doesn't want you to see: July 1, 2025 [1]

We all know the MSM has not been doing enough over the last decade to get Americans to understand how awful the convicted felon is for our country — and the world.

Consider how our one-time allies view tRump. Canada, Ukraine, the UK, France, Australia, pretty much everyone: they all know how wretched he is.

Also, there are tRump’s distractions, and we must admit, he is good at that. It is exhausting to keep up with everything.

So, here are some of the stories that tRump does not want you to see, as he tries to steal everything he can from everyone and to ruin the country for the present and the future.

Mental, physical decline.

tRump’s mental and physical declines are hard to track, because tRump has always said stupid stuff and stuff that was not true. As many have asked, if this guy now has dementia, how would you know? This makes it hard to determine any reduction in cognitive abilities. And, as for his physical abilities, well, he’s been lying about that too. The only time he “wins” at golf is when it’s a tournament at one of his golf courses. And we can all see that he is not 6’3” and he cannot weigh 225 lbs.

But the lies in the past make it harder to track the lies of the present (actually a canny way to go about it — because they are exhausting.

Here’s a dailykos diary (DanK) on the subject. Some excerpts

And, even if it’s hard to tell if things are going from low to lower — because tRump does say stupid stuff just to distract from his crimes and his cruelties — we can take a look at genetics (about which tRump is so proud). Let’s see: Fred Trump, the convicted felon’s father, had dementia.

From Fred Trump III (the convicted felon’s nephew) By John O'sullivan, Chiara Fiorillo, William Morgan Express

Speaking candidly last Friday, Fred Trump III shared his unease, observing what he believes to be familiar signs of cognitive decline in the president. He recounted how their grandfather, also the father of Donald Trump, struggled with Alzheimer's disease for eight years before his death in 1999. On air, Trump III did not hold back, stating: "You know, Donald said, 'Oh, my father was tiptop until the end.' I can assure you, that was not the case. I know what I saw in my grandfather."

Fred Trump I was 85 when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, but the convicted felon’s diet is probably much, much worse than his father’s. (Soda, especially diet soda, is correlated with dementia.)

As for the physical decline and genetics, the convicted felon had four siblings. Only one is still alive.

Everyone hates that bill

Economic News

US markets are not doing as well as European markets , Michael Msika and Naomi Tajitsu, Mon, June 30, 2025, Bloomberg via Yahoo Finance

(Bloomberg) -- European stocks outperformed their US peers by the biggest margin on record in dollar terms during the first half, the most dramatic sign of how the region’s markets are staging a comeback after more than a decade in the doldrums. The rebound isn’t confined to stocks: the euro is up 13% against the dollar in the six months through June. Meanwhile, the chaotic rollout of US tariffs wiped some of the shine off Treasuries. German bunds have outperformed them since April even as the government braces to issue more debt. Assets in emerging European markets like Poland and Hungary are also rallying sharply. Investors globally are slowing their purchases of US assets and shifting more money to Europe amid concern that President Donald Trump’s program of tariffs and tax cuts will impact earnings, stoke inflation and widen the budget deficit. Europe has become the big beneficiary as governments there boost spending while its central bank slashes interest rates.

One reason the US stock market has been doing so well is because the dollar is weaker.

Red states are facing economic catastrophe

This is the first red state to say they need help, but others will follow.

Even those not on Medicaid may be affected by this billionaire bailout bill, because hospitals, without the support of Medicaid, will close.

Bombs in Iran did not do that much damage

Most Americans know tRump is a crook Jamie Ballard, YouGov

Trump has been convicted of felony crimes. 44% of Americans say he has definitely committed crimes. 22% think he probably has, 11% think he probably has not committed any crimes and 11% say he definitely has not committed any crimes. Democrats (77%) are much more likely than Republicans (11%) to say Trump has definitely committed crimes.

Moreover, fewer Americans think presidents should have legal immunity for acts in office:

Republicans are less likely than they were in November to say presidents should have legal immunity protecting them from being charged for any actions they have taken as president: 35% of Republicans say this, down from 49% in November. 19% of Americans — including 10% of Democrats — think presidents should have this immunity. 60% of Americans — including 83% of Democrats and 33% of Republicans — say presidents should not be immune to being charged for actions they have taken as president.
