Welcome! This is an unapologetic, agenda-free zone. Just commentaries on current events that’ll move you to think, laugh, rage, and even cry.
Trump has turned breaking norms and laws into a governing method. Act first, create the irreversible fact, then dare Congress or the courts to put Humpty Dumpty back together. iPINIONS notes that, from his billion-dollar ballroom-cum-bunker and illegal visa ban to tariffs, war powers, and presidential immunity, Trump keeps discovering that even an eventual court… Read more.
Helsinki saw Trump throw American intelligence under the bus for Putin. Now he’s inviting this wanted war criminal to America to carve up Ukraine—without Zelensky at the table. Forget the Nobel Peace Prize. iPINIONS thinks this warrants the igNobel Prize. Read it on my Substack: https://ipinionsdaily.substack.com/p/from-helsinki-to-ukraine-trump-is Read more.

And he couldn’t care less if this wrecks the global economy – so long as he can claim he’s making manufacturing in… Read more.
Trump and the Sleight of the Deal President Trump made quite a show last week of announcing a “partial” accord to end his trade war with China. Unfortunately, this was rather like British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain making quite a show in 1938 of announcing a “peace-for-our-time” accord to end German aggression. The U.S. and… Read more.
President Trump’s blusterous ignorance is surpassed only by his dangerous delusions. He might even think a lie becomes the truth if he keeps repeating it boldly and loudly enough. Only this explains his dogged claim that the United States is “collecting tens of billions of dollars from China in tariffs.” It is not – as… Read more.
