Trump says he’ll declare the “Hormuz Strait” US territory. iPINIONS contends the absurdity is almost beside the point. The real danger is how MAGA loyalty and American fatalism have trained millions to accept his lies, cruelty, and autocratic whims as normal.

Condoleezza Rice helped sell Bush’s Iraq War by warning that the smoking gun could become a mushroom cloud. iPINIONS contends that she is recycling that same preventive-war logic for Trump in Iran, where a supposedly quick campaign has metastasized into mounting deaths, destruction, and conflict over the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump bullied Spain for refusing to join his war against Iran. Now iPINIONS is rooting for the World Cup final to force him to honor Spain, Lamine Yamal, and the multiracial success he scorns, especially given how Trump’s infamous meddling has turned this beautiful game into political theater.

Trump isn’t just moving markets. iPINIONS contends that he’s turning the presidency into a Ponzi scheme with a Bloomberg terminal, where taxpayers and ordinary investors are the suckers while his family, donors, crypto cronies, prediction-market operators, and rich friends profit from the volatility he manufactures.

Memorial Day is supposed to honor the dead, not kick off a weekend of sales, selfies, and slogans. This year, the contrast is even more obscene. Trump has sent Americans to war against Iran, leaving 13 US troops dead and more than 380 wounded, while folding national mourning into his Freedom 250 pageantry, UFC fantasies,… Read more.
Here’s how iPINIONS thinks EU leaders should respond: Sure, Don TACO, just like you’re “considering” invading Iran. You launched this war without consulting us, demanded we bleed for it, and now you’re throwing a tantrum because we said no? NATO is a defense alliance, not your foreign legion. You’re acting like a spoiled kid threatening… Read more.
King Charles came to America bearing pomp, tea, and a civics lesson Trump’s America sorely needed.

NASA wants us awestruck by Artemis II circling the moon. But iPINIONS asks what kind of country can spend billions on space spectacle and war while its own citizens still line up for basic care and dignity here on Earth.

Trump wants a Japan-like surrender in five weeks. Netanyahu wants Gaza-like destruction on a far larger scale. iPINIONS argues that one man is chasing vainglory, the other is trying to outrun judgment at home, and both are helping turn a regional war into something darker, wider, and potentially apocalyptic.
