| second: 2) The Platinum Card is a $15,000 application and $5 million donation to the government for extremely wealthy immigrants looking to expedite their citizenship process. The program would allow applicants to live in the U.S. for nearly the entire year without paying taxes on foreign income.
At the Republican midterm convention on Wednesday, Trump vowed to “issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000” if the Republicans win the House and Senate in November. Since then, the administration has scrambled to propose different ways to pay for the promise, which would cost an estimated $1.3 trillion.

| second: 1) Trump’s Supposed Plan for $5,000 Checks Gets Even More Unbelievable.
Trump’s treasury secretary now says taxpayer funds won’t be used at all, proposing a far-fetched idea.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick thinks Trump’s $5,000 midterm bribe can be paid for with funds from the so-called “Trump Platinum Card,” which hasn’t even been launched yet.
Lutnick shared this ridiculous idea with NBC News on Thursday.

| second: President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and other Republican officials came together for a two-day convention this week to rally voters in advance of midterm elections in November. But in celebrating their accomplishments, they made several false and misleading claims, many of which have been stated repeatedly during Trump’s second term.
They covered topics including the economy, immigration, healthcare and the 2020 election. Trump spoke both nights and Vance gave the keynote on Thursday.
Here’s a closer look at the facts: [go to link] One example out of many: Trump has cited an increasingly higher number of investments in the U.S. throughout his second term, claiming on Wednesday that the number could go up to $25 trillion. But he has presented no evidence that he has secured this amount of funds from either foreign or domestic sources. |

| second: Trump Whines About How He Can’t Give Himself Medal of Honor. He said this in front of an audience full of medal of honor recipients. [go to link] “The thing I really want is I want for myself a Congressional Medal of Honor, and I’ve studied it and I will give it to myself. I have no problem, but I’m not allowed to. Can you believe it? The one thing I’m not allowed to do,” Trump said to laughter from the audience, which included 15 of the 65 living recipients of the honor. “I would give myself, so it would make it instead of 15, we’d have 16.”
After making jabs at the “fake news media” for always taking his sarcastic remarks and claiming that he actually wants a medal, Trump quipped “I’m only kidding” before adding, “Actually, I’m not kidding, I would like to.... I can think of no other thing.” The president has never seen a trophy or award that he didn’t want, regardless of whether or not he deserved it. |

| second: Canada and Iran Have Found Trump’s Achilles’ Heel [go to link]
Canada and Iran are making life very difficult for Republicans ahead of the midterms. In the stop-start Iran war, spikes in already skyrocketing energy prices are intended to damage GOP chances in the upcoming midterms. Canadian officials aren’t being coy about it: The retaliatory tariffs imposed Tuesday against the United States were deliberately chosen to hurt vulnerable Republicans before the midterm elections. |
| second: Donald Trump’s War (the war of choice against Iran that he launched on February 28, 2026) might be one of the most consequential wars in US history. If the last few days are any indication, what this war has done is greatly accelerate American decline and failure. It has done this by severely degrading the position of the USA in the Middle East—and through that to the Pacific—and at the same time exposed the weakness and rot at the core of the US military.

| second: 3) Trump could not help but make the election about himself, demanding that Americans vote not based on their assessment of the Republicans who are actually running, but on their loyalty to him, personally. Democrats could not have asked for a better closer for the evening. |
| second: 2) The mindlessness of the whole thing was reminiscent of what the comedian Steve Martin captured with a revealing prank he used to pull on his audiences in the late 1970s—the Non-Conformist Oath. They would repeat his vows to be different and unique, without knowing where he was going with the bit. Then Martin would shout: “I promise not to repeat things other people say!” The crowd would start to chant back, of course, and then dissolve into laughter. Trump, too, asked his crowd to repeat his words without knowing what was coming. Unlike Martin’s audiences, the GOP attendees did not seem to get that it’s creepy to uncritically repeat whatever someone else tells you to say. [go to link] |
