Trump moves Obama’s White House portrait to display his assassination attempt photo
The official portrait of former president Barack Obama has moved to the opposite side of the hallway — directly across from the new addition

I mean, yeah, but we pretty well knew that?
Not to disparage the assholery on display, but I feel like there are FAR greater concerns than what paintings are hanging in the White House at the moment.

Only new bit here is China has said they're done playing the tariff game and appear to be writing off US trade entirely on their side. What I'm waiting for now is to see how much of the US Bonds they hold they decide to dump to crater the dollar, or if they don't want to burn that bridge quite yet. That could be a good bit of leverage still if they decide to use the amount of US debt they hold as a stick, like how Canada apparently did previously.

He keeps a painting of his near-assassination.
It's a pity he obviously doesn't know the term "memento mori."
To him it looks like he stayed strong in the face of death. To everyone else, it's a reminder of the biggest disappointment in three inches since Stormy Daniels.
Trump’s FEMA Refuses to Fund North Carolina’s Hurricane Recovery
The president has said he wants to do away with the agency entirely.
Shoulda voted for Kamala, NC.
Three months ago this same Acting Administrator tweeted "To the survivors of hurricane Milton and Helene…you are not forgotten." I guess he forgot.
Trump authorizes US military to take control of land at US-Mexico border
Order allows armed forces to take ‘direct roll’ in securing southern border, which Trump memo says ‘is under attack’

Tariffs on computers and smartphones are being exempted...for now. Game consoles do NOT appear to be included. The administration continues to walk back on tariffs, but given his wishy washy attitude, who knows how this will shake out long term. If nothing else, this might continue to fuel theories of the entire tariff incident being a means of market manipulation to enrich those "in the know".

Trump exempts PCs, smartphones, and components from tariffs
On Friday night, Trump added a number of exceptions to his tariff plan, excluding PCs, components, monitors, and smartphones from the administration's import duties.

Unfortunately not.
As President, he wields significant power and authority, and that has tangible impacts. While he DOES walk about everything back…if someone tried to call him out on it? THEN he’d tamp down just out of spite.
As is, the “rumblings” are that the only reason he pushed back the wider reciprocal tariffs and exempted the tech industry was because of outside pressure from major tech companies and internal pressures from advisors. Seems even the brown nosers have a breaking point…
It is entirely possible that, in a few months, Trump will just not institute the more extreme tariffs under the guise of “getting what we needed” and spin the entire walk back as a victory. But given his willingness to take these steps TO BEGIN WITH, steps many chalked up to “just talk”, is that a dice roll many of us are willing to take?
Trump Admin Walks Back Tariff Exemption On Electronics
U.S. Customs and Border Protection claimed late on Friday that imported electronics, such as smartphones, laptops and more, would be exempt from Trump’s tariffs.
And I guarantee you it was because apple tore a strip off trumps ass over this. Nothing will sink iphone sales more than rampant price hikes... ones that can't be justified by a slimmer profile and better camera.
and now we get to watch Donald ignore a UNANIMOUS Supreme Court ruling against him.
Supreme Court says US must begin process to release Maryland man deported to El Salvador
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was arrested near his Maryland home in March and deported to El Salvador. His family has sued to force the U.S. to return him.www.usatoday.com
And the administration has responded.
tldr: "No."
Can we please start impeachment proceedings? The GOP already in Congress need to realize that they are quickly becoming un-re-electable. They lost me; there must be tons of moderates that have vowed "never again."

"Give me your vote, and we'll fix it so good you'll never have to vote again". It's almost like they don't care about being electable anymore.
And the El Salvador President wants to keep him apparently: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/04/14/trump-presidency-news-tariffs-deportations/
Guess we'll see now if the Judges can send someone to retrieve him as my Dad has said(based on his time dealing with courts and in the military)

Isn't it a classic move for dictators to dissolve their legislatures entirely rather than merely purge them of opposition members?
EDIT: And even if it wasn't, Trump has already made it clear that he considers Congress dead weight and would rather do everything through executive orders. That was true even in his first term.
