Could we agree to avoid this kind of clickbait on this forum? You can surely take a screenshot or write a few lines.

Disgusting politicization. Couldn’t this age-old creation of enemy images be left to the Americans? Collective responsibility doesn’t really belong to the Western concept of justice.

Yeah, I forgot the emoji there. It was a sarcastic reference that I thought everyone would get since it was about 25 dollars; this same thing was also mentioned in many news sources. So, I wasn’t creating any enemy images or politicizing here. It’s unfortunate that you jumped to that conclusion.

For every person who actually shoots, tens of thousands are needed who feel like shooting. And millions of dissatisfied people.

This latest lone gunman is so laughably bad that I’m starting to believe in conspiracy theories. What kind of guy sets out to take down the US President with a shotgun in hand, trying to rush in through the main door? The previous two at least had a plan that actually had a chance of succeeding.

Additionally, it’s surprising that the shooter survived. US police are notoriously trigger-happy in situations where someone is brandishing a weapon. Usually, we read that the shooter was killed by police bullets.

Oh hell, it’s actually happening. Trump’s image is going on passports, specifically a special passport that can only be ordered from Washington. Never before has a president’s face adorned a passport; that’s likely the main driver for printing it. Just when I thought the upcoming coin featuring Trump’s head would be enough. Someone was joking about “updating” Mount Rushmore to the modern day. Personally, I don’t see that as impossible at all anymore.
Then again, he’s one incredible character. If someone had said 20 years ago that this would happen, how many would have believed it? Now the guy’s face is about to be in a travel document. I’m not entirely sure about the passport’s practicality, though. There might be a few countries in the world where it might not be the best idea to show up with this particular edition.

Well, his signature will soon be on the money as well. Provided you have enough cash to keep these bills in your wallet, which isn’t a given for a large part of the population. Not for the broke ones, of course.
Donald Trump is set to become the first sitting US president to have his signature on US banknotes, the treasury department has announced.
The first $100 (£75) bills with the signatures of Trump and Bessent will be printed in June, with others to follow.
And a gold coin for the real MAGA fans.
Earlier this month, a federal arts commission approved a commemorative 24-karat gold coin bearing the image of Trump, also to celebrate America’s 250th birthday.
The Governor of California has his own interpretation of the matter.

The President of the United States has published an op-ed stating that everyone seeking the presidency should take a cognitive test. I agree.
https://x.com/ReallyAmerican1/status/2049911440455168228
A cognitive test is a series of tests that provides a picture of the brain’s ability to process information. It is not an intelligence test. These tests are administered to individuals who have been observed to have, for example, memory problems or difficulties finding appropriate words in conversation.
A cognitive test checks for problems with your mental functioning (cognition). The test involves answering basic questions and performing simple tasks. You don’t need to study before taking this test.
Trump has indeed distinguished himself in this regard, as he has completed several of them. He has passed three tests on at least two different occasions. Very good! 
- President Donald Trump boasted on social media on Jan. 2 that his doctors have “just reported” he nailed his third straight cognitive evaluation
- He made the same claim about taking a third cognitive test on Dec. 9 as well

Unrelatedly, it is likely only a matter of time before the Strait of Hormuz gets a new name. At least at the White House communications department.

They are whining for a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump again, since he has ended so many wars. Juurikki, in their spare time, asked the Deep Mind supercomputer how many net war endings are needed for this to happen. That is, wars ended minus wars started equals the number of net war endings. The result was as expected: 42.
Now we also got the answer to what Deep Mind meant when, after 7.5 million years of calculation, it gave the answer 42 to the person asking for the meaning of existence and stated that here is the answer, now at least try to come up with the right question.

So focused on those cognitive tests that his memory is failing.
It seems that king’s visit and those speeches hit his ego after all, since this same bluster and taking out his frustrations on Europe has started up again.
If this continues for nearly three more years, things in the US will have been turned into quite a mess.
Fortunately, those midterms might save us from the worst of it.

Personally, I am skeptical about the midterms. We’ll see how gerrymandering affects things. In at least some states, the Supreme Court’s recent decision caused a rush to redraw electoral districts.
Plus, of course, other “coup tactics” cooked up by Trump’s gang to challenge the election results. Whatever they may be. Discarding votes, etc.
Things are going to be interesting around the elections in the USA.

What is there to add to that Trump video. Which will happen first: his mind just withering away, or a blood vessel bursting in the same area and that’s it. Doesn’t look like he’ll make it to the end of his term at this rate.

In 2016, Trump declared during his campaign that “We are going to win so much that you get tired of winning.”
Now, during his second term, the White House’s official X channel has fulfilled this promise.

Indeed. I got tired of winning very quickly. For the sake of comparison, what if the President’s Office released the same video of Stubb? Would you feel like a winner?

Multiple media outlets have reported on an investigation launched by the Department of Justice regarding oil trades in March and April, which occurred shortly before Trump’s announcement of the ceasefire extension and the Iranian Foreign Minister’s announcement regarding the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. The source is anonymous, and the DOJ has not confirmed that such an investigation is underway.

Trump promised to make America great again — apparently including gas bills as well.
The price of gasoline in the United States has risen to $4.56 per gallon, the highest level since July 2022. The 53 percent increase over the last 10 weeks (from $2.98/gallon to $4.56/gallon) is the largest that pump-goers have been able to celebrate in the last 30 years. People are also rejoicing over the inflation rate. Great.
Fine job, Donald, keep it up and things will turn out great!

On April 30, 2026, an event occurred in the United States that may go down in history or may be forgotten without many ever hearing about it. 36 doctors put their professional licenses at risk. They signed a document that could destroy their ability to practice their profession in the United States and could make them targets of action by the U.S. Department of Justice.
What is this document? It is their professional opinion on Donald J. Trump’s state of health, and it is permanently in the public archives of Congress. It cannot be deleted, it cannot be buried, and it cannot be retracted.
The key sentence of the document is below. The full statement can be read at the link.
Prior to the presidential election in the Fall of 2024, a statement assessing Donald J. Trump’s mental fitness for the presidency was issued. At that time, serious signs of cognitive decline were identified, and in our expert opinion, these signs warranted disqualification from office.
It is our professional opinion, based on previous and ongoing assessments, that Donald Trump’s mental state since our 2024 statement has deteriorated even further.
https://www.congress.gov/congressional-record/volume-172/issue-76/senate-section/article/S2162-1
Why do I find this to be a significant matter? For three reasons:
- The historical framework (I will return to this shortly)
- The authors of the document are putting their careers, their freedom, and their ability to practice their profession at risk just so the statement would enter the public record.
- The significance of the statement going forward.
To the best of our knowledge, the first time the president’s supreme authority over the use of nuclear weapons was bypassed was in August 1974, when the Nixon administration’s Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger approached the commanders of every branch of the armed forces and told them that a nuclear launch order given by the president should not be obeyed without his approval and that of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (the highest military commander directly under the president).
Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger was terrified enough to order that any nuclear launch instruction from Nixon be cleared with him first.
He went to General George S. Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Brown went to the four-star commanders of every major military command, including Strategic Air Command, which actually had the nuclear weapons. The instruction was simple: if the White House issued an unusual order, do not execute it until Brown and Schlesinger had personally verified it.
Schlesinger gave this informal “order” due to Nixon’s unpredictable behavior, particularly during bouts of drinking.
The most powerful person in the world spent his last week in office drunk, sleepless, and wandering the White House asking dead presidents whether he should fight on.
His daughters were terrified. His staff was terrified.
Nixon knew nothing about it. No one was ever supposed to know. If the matter had come to light, Schlesinger would have faced trial and potentially imprisonment. It involves the illegal restriction of the president’s legally granted powers and is therefore treason.
The nuclear football may or may not have been physically removed from Marine One on the morning of August 9. Historians disagree. What is not in dispute is that for the last several days of his presidency, Richard Nixon was Commander in Chief in name only, and he never knew it.
Possibly for a second time, a subordinate of the president gave a similar order in 2021. As Trump’s first term was drawing to a close, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley gave the same order.
In January 2021, the grown-ups stepped in again. Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, called the four-star commanders into a secure room after January 6 and told them not to take launch orders from anyone — including the President of the United States — without him in the loop. He had a name for what he was doing.
He called it pulling a Schlesinger.
We come to the year 2026. 36 doctors have publicly stated that it is their professional opinion that Donald Trump is not fit to carry out the duties of the presidency.
Now, we are on the third strike. On April 30, 2026, thirty-six American physicians slipped a document into the Congressional Record that every future historian will be forced to reckon with.
This is something that everyone knows, but no one in the administration dares to touch. Democrats talk about it constantly, but they do not have the power to carry out the removal of the president from office.
As of this writing, not a single mainstream reporter has touched it. The Times has not. The Post has not. 60 Minutes has not called. The MSM has done the math. They looked at what happened to the law firms, the universities, and Jimmy Kimmel and politely said, “Not my rodeo.”
The doctors who signed the statement may face threats—not only from Trump, who actively seeks to destroy everyone who stands in his way and whose DOJ acts on Trump’s orders without a moment’s hesitation—but also countermeasures from their own profession.
They knew about the Goldwater Rule — the 1973 American Psychiatric Association ethics rule that forbids members from offering professional opinions on public figures they have not personally examined.
They knew about Bandy Lee, the Yale forensic psychiatrist who lost her teaching appointment in 2020 after tweeting that one of Trump’s lawyers showed signs of “shared psychosis” with his client.
They knew the American Psychiatric Association would not defend them and might actively go after their licenses.
They knew that the administration they were assessing had, over the past fifteen months, demonstrated a remarkable enthusiasm for using the federal government — the IRS, the FBI, the FCC, the DOJ — against private citizens who annoy it. They knew their names would be public, printed in the official record of the United States Congress, searchable forever, easy to find.
They truly know what the personal consequences for them may be.
The 36 were concerned enough to invoke the Declaration of Geneva — the post-Nuremberg successor to the Hippocratic Oath, which was written specifically because doctors at Nuremberg argued they had only been following orders. They concluded that Donald J. Trump is mentally unfit to be the President of the United States, and that steps to remove him from office must be undertaken with the greatest urgency.
Then they signed their names.
We do not know if, for example, the current Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Dan Caine or Chief of Staff Susie Wiles or Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth or Vice President J.D. Vance have spoken about this matter with anyone. We may never know.
However, in everyone’s mind is the professional opinion given by 36 doctors regarding Donald J. Trump’s state of health. And if Trump seeks to launch a nuclear weapon—which it is possible for a president to do by their own decision in the United States—this statement will be at the heart of every discussion. Why did no one do anything sooner? And now it cannot be said that no expert had provided a professional opinion on the matter. If Trump takes some irreversible action, no one in the administration can say anymore: “I couldn’t have guessed.”

As of May 9, 2026, the best estimate for the average age of these 36 signatories, based on public sources, is approximately 75 years. If we limit the scope only to those with an M.D. degree, the average age rises slightly to around 77 years.
For example, Henry David Abraham was born on August 25, 1942, Justin Frank in February 1943, Mindy Fullilove on October 15, 1950, Bandy X. Lee on May 27, 1970, Dee Mosbacher in 1949, Stephen Soldz on November 19, 1952, Lise Van Susteren on March 7, 1951, and John O. Pastore on April 20, 1942…
If the average age is that high, they are unlikely to be very concerned about losing their licenses to practice.
