On today’s episode of Uncovered, we did a deep dive into Trump’s schizophrenic tariff mania with all the behind the scenes infighting going on between Howard Lutnick, Peter Navarro, Scott Bessent, Elon Musk and others.
I live in Dallas. I went to a town hall in TX-24 where Rep. Van Duyne wouldn’t show up… so Colin Allred did. He said he’s considering running for that senate seat. I hope he does!
Yes, I'm glad I made back all the money. I lost the other day. But I suspect there'll be another loss coming in a week or so it's just going to go up and down and up and down, because well, when children are making decisions, that's the way it goes
It’s called market manipulation and I believe it’s against the law. Not that any of those fkg yahoos give a good gd damn as long as they increase their wealth! Look out Russia here we come!
When you can not spend your precious metals ,you can use them for what. Its time to rethink how they can control those markets to make you fall in alignment.
What makes this so egregious, even more so than the outrageous money he spends on his golf outings (which of course also sickens me, like it did the first time too, but there is always the chance some stray golf ball could hit him in the head and kill him, or get run over by a golf cart 🙏 ) is because of what this represents. This parade is FOR HIM. FOR HIS BIRTHDAY Our Dear Leader. Our Fuhrer.. Our Mango Mussolini. Our Tangerine Tyrant,. Our Manchurian Cantaloupe. Our Dictator. Our Monarch. So far this is still the United States. So far, even though we are hanging on by a thread, this is not Russia or China, YET. We don't have military parades for our living Presidents'' Birthdays. Can you imagine if Biden or Obama tried to do this? There would be thousands, nay, millions of marauding MAGA gangs with pitchforks and flaming torches on the streets. He tried this this the first time but cooler heads prevailed and talked him out of it. saying it would ruin the streets or whatever to shut him up. Now Congress has given away their power of the purse to him and SCOTUS made him a king. This is what they do in authoritarian countries where their leaders are installed forever. This is because he thinks he's never leaving. He is deluded, demented, and dangerous.He's like Henry VIII with a bunch of ass-kissing sycophants as his privvy council.
If this was for July 4, 2026, the 250th birthday of our country that was still a democracy, that would be one thing.There would be private donations, corporate sponsors, a national celebration that everyone in the country would want to celebrate. It would be majestic. Proof that our fragile democracy has stood. If it was to celebrate his DEATH, I'd send my SS check to donate, but for this animal's EGO and POWER TRIP??? While people are starving, homeless, while how many people have lost their jobs, planes crashing, defunding medical research, threatening our allies, leaving us isolated and in danger of terrorist attacks, CRASHING OUR ECONOMY, which affects the rest of the world too, while there is NO ONE to reign him him. THIS IS TO SHOW THE WORLD HIS POWER and our military might while the world quakes in its boots from his threats.
We will not survive as a country if he is not removed, peacefully by impeachment, or by violent means.. Truthfully I don't care how they do it, but he has got to go. He has only put a pause on the tariffs for 90 days. You see he has left and even raised to 125% tariffs on China? China is the danger, and Xi is not playing. Next will be huge tarriffs on our pharmaceuticals which we import (pretty sure he'll leave out the viagra factories) that were ALWAYS hands off ALWAYS. . I'm not talking about Tylenol. People with cancer, chemo, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, life saving drugs, insulin (I'm not diabetic but you can say goodbye to $35 insulin). Cholesterol and High blood pressure meds that people take everyday Lots of them come from India. We can't even make baby formula here that isn't poisoned. These factories and the people that run them won't go up in a week or people trained. This is not an Amazon factory (who by the way just cxl'd millions of dollars in order from China) These are life saving meds. This man wants to destroy us, and leave us as serfs but sure, spend $90 million of OUR money to celebrate him? He's probably having a general's uniform with a cap and a chestful of fake medals and shiny gold buttons made right now for our very own Commander-in-Bone Spurs. Do you see the difference?
Boycotting his birthday parade without a “counter parade”, would let it happen without resistance, that doesn’t make any sense. If you want to boycott, I would agree with boycotting, Walmart, chick-fil-a, hobby lobby, Amazon, tesla etc. etc. etc. because that will hurt them financially, but to not protest at his parade will give him the go ahead for his next birthday parade to go off, without a glitch.
This will not work, he needs to see we are against his shit. Boycotting his birthday parade is exactly what trumptards nationwide would love to see. Trumps skin is so thin and he hates to be insulted or ridiculed, he would be so pissed, he will want to declare Marshall law against the protesters.
You will see that if this happens, HE WILL KILL IN OUR STREETS. Once again, no one is listening. This is another step to the US being run over by fascism. It must not happen protest ,yes, BEFORE IT HAPPENS. after is too late
Trump & his oligarch cronies are manipulating the stock market so they can buy low & sell high. Insider trading. Follow the money. Trump once said he liked a down market so he could buy, then get rich in the recovery. Just before today’s 90 day pause he signaled, saying “it’s a good time to buy.”
I think you're absolutely right. And we have to remember that in a crime family, the godfather doesn't do the killing himself. An investigation would need to find out which of his capos did the deals.
Are we going to have "Pious Pam" Fake Christian Bondi lead the investigation? She won't even investigate Signalgate with the proof including those ridiculous emojis. There is no one left in power unfortunately that will do it. He can send Seal-Team 6 to kill Howard Lutnick and he would get away with it.
The Nazi regime is hard at work on voter suppression as Nazi’s Hitler talks about a third term There is no need to stop future elections just rig them so voter ballots are disqualified or disenfranchise existing voters through state vigilante voter challenges https://bit.ly/4hVFyeC
The US Nazi leader just announced by an executive order(EO) that mirrors the SAVE act that the Nazis are currently pushing through the House The SAVE ACT will require people who register or re-register to vote (31m do that every year….for various reasons change address/change county, change name with marriage) that they prove they are citizens in order to vote This can be done in 2 ways: 1) proof of birth either by original birth certificate(who has that?) or 2 passport (12% have passports and are usually white and wealthy) What about women who have different last names now? Try to register if you do not have your original birth certificate because marriage licenses, military ID’s will not count Estimates for 2026: 7million voters will be disqualified or not counted
The result of the SAVE ACT and Hitler’s EO is : Massive drain and purge of the voter rolls
What to do?? 1 Call your congressperson to vote against the SAVE ACT 202 224 3121
2 Check voter registration 80d ahead of election and don’t use a provisional ballot…nearly 50% don’t get counted
3 Most of the voter suppression laws on the books are to disqualify or disenfranchise Black voters, women voters, Hispanic voters ….good old fashioned Jim Crow 2.0….talk to your minority voting friends about the dangers of the Nazis coming after their votes
4 Protest the USPS being brought under the Commerce Dept because this is the step to privatize and then control mail in voting(if this happens 1 in 7 votes will be lost….MIT doubles that to 1 in 4)
Donald Trump didn’t pause the tariffs because of strategy, diplomacy, or economic foresight. He did it like a con artist yanking the lever on a slot machine he rigged himself. Minutes later, the market soared. And right on cue, he screamed “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!” on Truth Social—along with “DJT,” the ticker for his own bottom-feeding media stock.
This wasn’t subtle. This wasn’t clever. This was naked corruption in broad daylight, served with a side of smirking contempt for the rule of law.
Enter Senator Adam Schiff—finally, someone with a spine. He’s demanding an investigation into whether Trump engaged in insider trading or outright market manipulation. And it’s not just warranted—it’s urgent. Because if we don’t draw the line here, then we’ve officially greenlit the presidency as a money-printing machine for whoever lies, cheats, and hashtags their way into power.
The timing isn’t suspicious—it’s screaming. The markets exploded immediately after the announcement. Trump’s friends and family—already infamous for shady meme coins and miracle stock timing—were likely salivating at the bell. And yet the Senate Finance and Judiciary Committees, chaired by Republican stooges Mike Crapo and Chuck Grassley, are still polishing Trump’s shoes and pretending not to notice the stench of securities fraud wafting through the Capitol.
This isn’t just about Trump’s ego. It’s about whether the presidency itself has become a day-trading scam with nuclear weapons. Schiff’s right to demand answers. And if Congress fails to investigate—really investigate—then every American with a 401(k) should understand: your retirement is now collateral in a billionaire’s casino.
All true. All expected. Saw it coming. Why didn't anyone else see it. We the people are doing what we can. WHERE is some sort of support. They are criminals, we get to suffer? I'm so sick of this. Something needs to change. Fast.
I hope the troops are safe. Domestically and overseas, I paid attention to how locals treated me. I know that our troops have technology at their fingertips, they can see the truth about how the world sees us.
Does it matter anymore if it’s ridiculous that his minions claim victory when the media and his entire voting bloc think he’s a genius? Oh, and what stellar job on blocking him from messing with tariffs. They always cave and he always wins.
They've got some real beauts in the House. Mike Johnson who thinks Trump is the Messiah. Another one whose head will have to be surgically removed fro Trump's ass. Tommy Tuberville, Markwayne Mullin, Marge, Bobo, Gym Jordan...too many to mention. A cavalcade of cretins in gov't. It will be a miracle if we ever recover. Just the fact Sen. Rand Paul and John Kennedy spoke out is a big deal. It probably won't do anything, but the facade is cracking. They are 2 speaking. There are probably more, but they are cowards. Now if they can only shut up that Bolshevik Barbie Karoline Leavitt.
The biggest joke is Pam Blondie. AG. My ass. She is a puppet of the worst kind. Does and says everything THE FELON tells her. Dumbo isn't writing his stupid tweets he thinks are laws, he can't put two sentence together when he speaks. Thanks for the pic of him sucking a microphone again.. wish he'd choke on it.
😂😂😂😂😂 "Pious Puppet" Pam Blondie. I noticed yesterday Bolshevik Barbie's cross got smaller and planer. They probably told her to nix the diamond one as the economy was crashing.
I hope if he is choking on a big piece of steak at Mar-a-Lago while his lips are flapping, no one, not even the Secret Service or Walt Nauta does the Heimlich Maneuver to save him. We'll give them the Presidential Medal of Freedom for saving us.🏅 Even Melania would stop them, give them a big smile with the veneers and a 👍. She can't wait. 💰
Quick questions: Do the tariff dollars collected go into the US Treasury or into Trump’s pocket? Is Trump charging the US government a fee for each ‘deal’ he ‘negotiates’?
NEITHER....the tariffs are paid to the seller by the purchaser. The purchaser then decides how much to raise their price for the goods they purchased. Trump claims we [the US] is making millions in tarrifs.
Don't fall, yet again, for his lies. The trade deficit is: the difference between what American businesses sell overseas and what they purchases from foreign suppliers. We sell miniscule amounts compared to what we buy. If American businesses come out ahead it amounts to a very small amount because "we" buy far more than "we" sell.
If the US manufactured more products than we bought we'd be in good shape. [ keep in mind...Biden made it so that TSMC would invest BILLION$$$ to build a plant in AZ to manufacture microchips in the US]. God only know how much longer that plant will be underconstruction and when people will be employed there but THAT was a good move for the US.
The bumpy road and "medicine" the US must injest before his dream of bringing manufacturing back to US soil could be 5 years or more. His tariff approach is I'll conceived and he's running a scam on the fools who think he knows what he's doing. Sadly, I think all this bruhaha all just a smoke screen for what he's really got waiting ahead for us.
HIS PLAN: gut the US [and world economy], sew fear and frustration, make the populous so befuddled that they will be happy to grovel for scraps [do you know where your closest food pantry is? Do you think it'll still be functioning in a year?], create a war so he can take over every aspect of our lives, throw the constitution into a fire along with any proof of his illegal deeds. He just demented enough to think he will be happy with his creation. Many people will die [poverty induced lack of healthcare], give up, commit suicide or otherwise "check out"?
I sound like a lunatic but it's not hard to see his plan if you back up a little and see it all working in concert.
NOW ITS TIME TO FIGHT, PROTEST AND SHOW OUR RESOLVE. GET TO "KNOW" YOUR COMMUNITY. THERES NOT MUCH TIME LEFT BEFORE HE'S TAKEN ALL OUR RIGHTS.
I've thought about moving out of the US. And I've considered several Central American countries but, I doubt anywhere will be safe...BTW, El Salvador was never on my list.. .but if I keep this up I might end up there.
I'm in my 70s and grew up with TIME magazine in the house, and indeed continued to get it until well into my adulthood. I stopped quite some time ago and I wonder how they, or any weekly magazine even tries to cover the news. While the trump administration is the best example of nothing staying the same from one day to the next (or sometimes one hour to the next) I think that may apply to a lot of things also. But nothing is as unsteady as the trump administration. Indeed, you can hardly print a story in the morning and still have it be true by the afternoon. I don't understand how today's action is going to help anyone except China (who will make even faster moves to develop trade agreements with the nations trump and the GOP have debased. Who knows if tomorrow trump will rethink things (meaning he will listen to Navarro instead of musk) and reinstate the tariffs. I cannot imagine the hard work that goes into keeping MTN current but I sure do appreciate it!
I live in Dallas. I went to a town hall in TX-24 where Rep. Van Duyne wouldn’t show up… so Colin Allred did. He said he’s considering running for that senate seat. I hope he does!
Yes, I'm glad I made back all the money. I lost the other day. But I suspect there'll be another loss coming in a week or so it's just going to go up and down and up and down, because well, when children are making decisions, that's the way it goes
It’s called market manipulation and I believe it’s against the law. Not that any of those fkg yahoos give a good gd damn as long as they increase their wealth! Look out Russia here we come!
Children make better decisions.
Put your money in gold and silver. That is what I did. Also health care and staples seem to be good.
When you can not spend your precious metals ,you can use them for what. Its time to rethink how they can control those markets to make you fall in alignment.
Love what you do Ron. Never stop. Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸 Someone has to fight!!!
We need a million protesters at trumps birthday parade
I can't even cope he would piss away $90 million on this outrageous parade for his ego like we are North Korea.
Why not. He’s already spent 26 million playing golf. By the time this so called military parade happens his golfing outings will cost as much.
What makes this so egregious, even more so than the outrageous money he spends on his golf outings (which of course also sickens me, like it did the first time too, but there is always the chance some stray golf ball could hit him in the head and kill him, or get run over by a golf cart 🙏 ) is because of what this represents.

2 million would be better. We need enough people to block all the streets between the Pentagon and the White House.
If I lived there, I would be there! However, I will keep posting & sharing & donating to the Meidas Mighty Cause!
Maybe this is the Big March, like the Women's March in 2017. (Tho last weekend's many Hands Off protests were inspiring.
No. It needs to be boycotted. He wants the freaking attention. Doesn't anybody see that! It's sickening.
Boycotting his birthday parade without a “counter parade”, would let it happen without resistance, that doesn’t make any sense. If you want to boycott, I would agree with boycotting, Walmart, chick-fil-a, hobby lobby, Amazon, tesla etc. etc. etc. because that will hurt them financially, but to not protest at his parade will give him the go ahead for his next birthday parade to go off, without a glitch.
Not allowing it to happen has to be the plan. This isn't North Korea. America does not do this. Fight to stop it. Or we lose again
This will not work, he needs to see we are against his shit. Boycotting his birthday parade is exactly what trumptards nationwide would love to see. Trumps skin is so thin and he hates to be insulted or ridiculed, he would be so pissed, he will want to declare Marshall law against the protesters.
AGAIN.. BULLH ORNS PEOPLE! EVEN IF THEY PUSH BACK.. YOU WILL BE HEARD!!!!! RUIN HIS NORTH KOREA NAZI DAY!!!
You will see that if this happens, HE WILL KILL IN OUR STREETS. Once again, no one is listening. This is another step to the US being run over by fascism. It must not happen protest ,yes, BEFORE IT HAPPENS. after is too late
I will go. I wish veterans would also go to the parade.

I am not sure the Treasury and Trump's pocket are separate reservoirs any longer...
Well, they cause consumers (us) to pay more for goods (clothes, cars, etc.). Think of them as sales taxes tacked on to what you want to (or must) buy.
I'm in my 70s and grew up with TIME magazine in the house, and indeed continued to get it until well into my adulthood.
