Here are two minutes of lowlights from Trump’s rambling, hour-long address to the UN General Assembly that Twitter is calling one of the most embarrassing moments in recent US history. Subscribe to zeteo.com for more.

President Zelenskyy: And every year that this [Russia-#Ukraine] war goes on, weapons become even more deadly. And only Russia deserves to be blamed for this. #StandWithUkraine

Hillary Clinton: "Good lord -- the things that have been said about me, the lies that have been propagated. If I had only known I could call up the FCC chair and say, 'Take this person off the air! Off with his head!' You have to laugh about it so you don't cry."

Law enforcement official: "When we did a search of the vehicle, there was a manifesto that identified many lawmakers and other officials." (The suspect is not in custody at this time.)

Law enforcement official on Hortman shooting: "It was knocking on the door and asking the person to come out. Absolutely impersonating a police officer ... we have the suspect's car. The suspect is on foot."

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one. That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

The new dividing line in the Democratic Party isn’t liberal vs moderate, or old vs young. It’s active vs passive. Dem politicians who are doing something to break through in this moment are rising; Dems seen as punching in & out and content to do the bare minimum are vulnerable.

It’s been less than two weeks since Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day,” and the president has already literally melted trillions of dollars in American wealth. The majority of the country believes Trump’s tariffs hurt the US economy, while….. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

Here was my prediction before Bukele’s White House visit today on our substack open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Why would Darth be blocking me? 😔

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Probably another thing the geniuses currently running our government didn’t anticipate. The only question remaining is what excuse Trump will give for his next capitulation while declaring victory. We are so screwed with these morons.

its crazy watching the president openly brag about using the presidency to extort law firms into working pro bono on the post-presidency legal defense he thinks he'll need when he's out of office

JPMORGAN: To argue that today’s 145% China tariff clarification “is somehow less of a shock as a result is very misguided .. The sudden stop of roughly $450bn in US imports and the resulting disruption to US supply chains would be a significant blow .. We maintain our call for a US recession ..”

(SCMP) - European Union leaders are planning to travel to Beijing for a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in late July, according to five people familiar with the arrangement. @scmpnews.bsky.social www.scmp.com/news/china/d...

Hey, Bill Cassidy, look at the monster you created.

Update: The Office of Government Ethics has "no comment" on its acting director, Jamieson Greer, also being Trump's U.S. Trade Rep -- meaning the guy in charge of investigating whether Trump engaged in insider trading with his tariffs is also the guy who advises Trump on tariffs. Can't make it up!

New on @MSNBC: The White House will not release the list of 75 countries that have reached out on trade deals, despite requests from NBC News.

Taking a victory lap on this bounce is some A+ cope. 🤡

Did the White House just admit to market manipulation?

I'm going to start saying "art of the deal" every time I do something really stupid and then start backtracking

NEW: An unsigned interagency agreement calls for the Dept of Labor to reimburse the US DOGE Service up to **$1.3 million** for work done by four DOGE affiliates over 18 months. Musk has previously stated that DOGE staffers would cost taxpayers nothing. from me and @timmarchman.bsky.social:

You all said Mr. President would fully shit his pants but he only shit 3/4 of his pants. You all look pretty stupid now, don’t you?

US TREASURY SECRETARY BESSENT: THIS WAS TRUMP’S INTENTION ALL ALONG.

Woof

Trump, April 4: “MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE”

Fox Business Sr. correspondent: "I want to tell you Donald Trump outsmarted the world, but that's not really what happened here" "Make no mistake about it you cannot divorce this decision from what happened last night. ... Those markets were imploding last night, and that's why we have a freeze"

This is a little embarrassing

Secretary Bessent: Trump executed a “successful negotiating strategy” and demonstrated the "courage" it took to get to this moment

Trump rounded up a collection of the biggest sycophantic liars and narcissists in America and put them in charge of the US government.

Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later. Nothing to see here.

Undoubtedly too, people close to Trump made a killing knowing this was coming:

So....he caved. But the damage to America's image as a stable democracy and a stable market and a reliable safe haven for money in T-bonds...that will not be easily repaired. Plus, more chaos to come, undoubtedly.

And the spin begins on Fox News about how brilliant Trump was by tanking the global stock markets for a week before suddenly reversing course and pausing his tariffs for 90 days. "The bottom line is Donald Trump is back!"

Trump claims so many countries called him kissing his ass that he will just forget the big tariff rollout that was suppose to transform and rejuvenate our country by bringing manufacturing jobs back. He claims people kissed his ass, so forget all that.

Bessent indicates that Trump still plans to announce new tariffs on lumber and pharmaceuticals despite the pause on the reciprocal tariffs 🤡

🚨 “President Donald Trump says he is pausing his tariffs scheme for 90 days on all trading partners who have not retaliated against the U.S.” www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

REPORTER: Can you explain more of the decision making on what feels like a reversal here? BESSENT: No

YESTERDAY!!!
