Trump Watch: Chaos, lies, and power grabs

This week, Trump kicked things off by bombing Iran—apparently after binge‑watching Fox News—then threw a fit when his supposed ceasefire fell apart hours later. He lied about the results and called reporters “scum” for not playing along, and he lashed out at a GOP lawmaker who dared to disagree. Meanwhile, he waived executive privilege for Biden aides so the GOP could chase conspiracy theories and waste taxpayer dollars. Ego trips, media attacks, and authoritarian moves—just another MAGA week.
