He also quietly killed his own trial balloon about U.S. troops helping keep the peace in Ukraine. Make no mistake: this is TACO Trump playing Putin’s game—turning the White House into Putin’s negotiating table. The EU leaders knew it, which is why they showed up in force: not to endorse Trump, but to call his bluff and stand behind Zelensky. 👉 The FiveStack in-depth breakdown here and here.

After Trump’s ambassador blamed Canada for his illegal tariff war, U.S. Senator Joe Martin sent letters to hundreds of Canadian officials, inviting them to join America’s “Christian Nationalist” project to form “One Nation under God.” It’s clownish. It’s insulting. And it’s an open invitation for Canadians to commit treason. 👉 Full story here.

His complaint? There’s “too much focus on how bad slavery was.” He wants to rewrite museum history, sanitizing America’s 200-year legacy of racist brutality. This isn’t about history. It’s about control. Trump is literally ordering museums to whitewash slavery to fit MAGA’s preferred narrative: racism wasn’t that bad, and America has nothing to be ashamed of. It’s not just revisionism—it’s state-sponsored erasure of truth.
