Trump to NYT's David Sanger: "I had a total military victory. But the fake news, guys like you, write incorrectly. You're a fake guy. We had a total military victory. I actually think it's sort of treasonous what you write. You should be ashamed of yourself. I actually think it's treason."

Can't stop thinking about Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive worth $828 billion, spending $290 million to elect Trump, becoming $563 billion richer since Trump was elected and ending humanitarian aid that will lead to the deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest kids on the planet.

@McFaul If Trump brings it up, he will be asking why China isn’t doing more to help Putin.

Any evidence that Trump raised Chinas support for Russias brutal war in Ukraine?

I am the Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization. I am visiting China this week in a personal capacity as a supportive son. Normal people visit their mothers in a personal capacity. Normal people attend funerals in a personal capacity. I do it beside sixteen CEOs, five billionaires worth $870 billion, and a 500-aircraft Boeing order being finalized with Beijing during the trip. Goldman Sachs. Citigroup. Mastercard. Visa. Tim Cook. Larry Fink. Stephen Schwarzman. In a personal capacity. I am also the Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin. My qualifications for this role include mowing lawns on my father's golf courses, laying tile at his properties, and serving as a boardroom judge on The Apprentice from 2010 to 2015. I have no documented experience in cryptocurrency, blockchain, or Bitcoin mining. My stake in American Bitcoin alone was worth $548 million by September 2025 — eight months into my father's second term. We purchased 16,000 Bitmain mining rigs for $314 million. Bitmain is Chinese. Bitmain is headquartered in Beijing. Beijing is where I am visiting in a personal capacity. In March we bought 11,298 more. The terms were "unusual" — hundreds of millions in equipment for "future considerations." I'm not sure what "future considerations" means in this context, especially when your father sets the tariff rate on your supplier's home country. I can tell you it is not a "conflict of interest." It is a "supply chain relationship." On May 12, the day I boarded this plane, my father announced a trade agreement with China. Tariffs on Chinese goods dropped from 145 percent to 30 percent. That is a 115-point reduction on the country that manufactures my equipment, announced the same day I flew there. I did not know. I did not ask. I did not need to ask. My family owns 60 percent of World Liberty Financial. We receive 75 percent of every token sold. The New Yorker's running total is $4.2 billion. Politico documented $12.9 billion in trading volume. Let me tell you about our team. My brother Barron is our "DeFi visionary." He was eighteen years old. His prior experience is being tall. My brother Don is "Web3 Ambassador." His prior experience is selling condos and shooting elephants. I handle "strategic planning." My prior experience is tile. My brother-in-law Jared received $2 billion from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund six months after leaving the White House. The fund's own advisory panel flagged his "lack of private equity experience" and called the due diligence results "unsatisfactory." They gave him the money anyway. My sister Ivanka received Chinese government approval for 16 trademarks during my father's first term. The categories included handbags, sunglasses, perfume, baby blankets, and voting machines. Voting machines. From China. While her father was president. That is not "corruption." That is "brand diversification." My father spent four years on Hunter Biden. Four years. The charge: Hunter sat on the board of Burisma for $83,000 a month with no energy experience. My father called it the greatest corruption in American political history. He withheld $391 million in military aid to Ukraine to pressure an investigation. He was impeached for it. He did it again. A special counsel was appointed. Total cost to taxpayers: millions. Total Hunter earnings: $11 million over five years. Let me do the math my father never did. Hunter Biden made $6,027 per day. My family makes $8.75 million per day. That is 1,451 times Hunter's rate. We earn his entire five-year scandal every thirty hours. Hunter had no energy experience. I have no crypto experience. Hunter sat on one board. I run the operation. Hunter met one banker for a coffee. I sit on Air Force One beside $870 billion negotiating with the country that manufactures my equipment. But here is the part that makes me proud. We launched a cryptocurrency in my father's name. It peaked at $73. It trades today at $2.43. Retail investors lost 95 percent of their money. We collected $400 million in transaction fees regardless of price. We hosted a dinner — the top 220 holders gained entry by holding enough of my father's coin. The top 29 received a champagne toast with the President of the United States. Price of admission: approximately $3.28 million in tokens. A public school teacher earns $3.28 million in 47 years. We call that "community engagement." Not "selling access." Access is what Hunter Biden sold for a cup of coffee. Three days before I boarded this plane to Beijing, our team moved $12 million in memecoin assets to custody platforms. Routine. Unrelated. Everything is unrelated to everything. In a personal capacity. On January 24, 2025 — four days after the inauguration — my father fired seventeen inspectors general in a single night. Without explanation. Without notice to Congress. Seventeen. The people whose job is to look. He removed them all at once and no one replaced them. There is no inspector general for a son's "personal capacity." There is no disclosure form for love. There is no ethics office for a champagne toast priced at $3.28 million. He didn't bend the guardrails. He fired the people who hold them. He built that. I fly in on it. $4.2 billion at cruising altitude. Every thirty hours, another Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden got a special counsel for a cup of coffee and a board seat that paid less per month than one champagne toast with my father costs per million. I am the Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization. I am the Chief Strategy Officer of American Bitcoin. I am the Web3 strategic planner at World Liberty Financial. I am visiting the country that manufactures my mining rigs, approved my sister's trademarks, and funds my brother-in-law's private equity firm, on a plane beside $870 billion and a president who spent four years calling $11 million treason. In a personal capacity. As a supportive son.

@deanwball I was told 7 years ago by Geoffrey Hinton, the “father of AI”, that in 5 years my job as a radiologist would be replaced by AI. I am still employed, and the AI tools I currently use are no way close to replacing me. So count me as a skeptic.

In life, everything is a wager. Whether you realize it or not, you are constantly making implicit and explicit predictions about the future state of reality. To live is to predict. So when you are faced with something like Mythos, and you say, “this is just ‘doomer hype’!,” what you are really doing is making a bet against model capabilities growth, and thus ultimately you are making a broad directional bet against deep learning, which has usually been a pretty bad bet to make. I am surprised that so many people—people who are otherwise AI optimists!—continue to make these bets against deep learning. They keep being wrong, and the less humble among them have torched their credibility with anyone paying attention. So ask yourself, when you make claims about AI and its future: “am I making an implicit bet against deep learning in a broad directional way?”

@McFaul Highly appropriate when your boss comes to visit.

Typically, heads of state don’t greet presidents when they land. That’s not protocol. It’s no big deal that Xi wasn’t on the tarmac. It was highly unusual when Trump was waiting for Putin on the tarmac in Alaska.

@McFaul I can’t hear that phrase without thinking of this star trek: TNG episode and Picard/Riker’s response:

This is the phrase that I wondered in my latest essay if Trump would use too. Stand by. open.substack.com/pub/michaelmcf…

@harryjsisson If he was a drinker you’d say he was on a binge.

Trump had one of his worst mental health episodes yet last night, posting over 55 times in 3 hours. Here is the list: 10:15 PM - Accuses Obama of attempting a coup in 2016 10:15 PM - Says Obama worked with CIA to overthrow Trump 10:15 PM - Reposts tweet saying Obama is a “traitor” and that he should be arrested 10:22 PM - Attacks dominion voting systems for 2020 election saying they switched votes 10:22 PM - Says Fulton County, GA had their 2020 fraud exposed (there was none) 10:23 PM - Accuses Obama of personally making $120 million from Obamacare (wtf?) 10:23 PM - Cites quack lawyer Sidney Powell on the 2020 election 10:24 PM - Posts fake JFK Jr account that says Obama wiretapped Trump Tower 10:27 PM - Demands Senator Mark Kelly resign 10:29 PM - Claims neither Biden nor Harris were in charge of the Biden admin 10:29 PM - Attacks Fulton County, GA again 10:29 PM - Posts Fox News clip of Rep Ro Khanna 10:30 PM - Demands Jack Smith be arrested 10:30 PM - Accuses Obama, Clinton, and Comey of treason 10:39 PM - Reposts a tweet from a MAGA account saying they have secret intel proving Clinton and Obama committed crimes 10:39 PM - Reposts a MAGA tweet saying Hillary Clinton should be sent to Haiti 10:40 PM - Says the DOJ is “working hard” to arrest his enemies for treason 10:40 PM - Reposts a tweet attacking his own DOJ and Todd Blanche for no arrests of political enemies 10:40 PM - Posts a TikTok video of people stealing from a convenience store 10:41 PM - Posts a TikTok of someone taking a Door Dash order 10:41 PM - accuses Obama, John Brennan, and Clinton of sedition and treason again 10:42 PM - Posts a video of a man on CCTV footage knocking over food a waiter was carrying 10:47 PM - Calls Obama the “most DEMONIC FORCE” in American politics 10:47 PM - Posts a tweet from Mike Flynn saying 2020 election wasn’t fair 10:49 PM - Attacks Dominion again claiming they stole the 2020 election (it wasn’t) 10:51 PM - Reposts a fake Charlie Kirk account that claimed Obama blocked Hillary Clinton from being prosecuted 10:53 PM - Claims Obama was part of Hillary Clinton’s emails in some way 11:28 PM - Claims a senior Democrat just testified under oath that Senator Adam Schiff leaked classified information 1:13 AM - Attacks the New York Times for reporting on the reflecting pool This man is clearly not well.

@Jettdirector @OlenaRohoza Every accusation by a Russian troll bot is a confession.

Ukraine did not “make it’s own choice” - their leader was installed by the United States. Now Ukraine is undergoing a genocide sponsored by the West. Immigrants are arriving daily, not to fight and die on the front lines but to take over jobs vacated by the war dead. They have begun “taking care” of the widows and orphans, much as they “take care” of women and girls throughout Europe and the UK. It is painful watching Europe and the UK simultaneously murdering Ukraine while committing civilizational suicide. 🙁

“We all see what is happening to Ukraine now. But it all began with Ukraine’s attempt to join the European Union,” Putin said. And with that single phrase, he essentially admitted the real reason for the war himself. Not “protecting Donbas.” Not “fighting Nazism.” Not “defending the Russian language.” Not religion. Not any of the endless horror stories invented by Russian propaganda. There was only one real reason: Ukraine dared to make its own choice. The choice not to live under Moscow’s control. The choice to become part of Europe. The choice to build its own state, its own language, its own politics, and its own future. For an empire, the greatest threat is not foreign armies near its borders. The greatest threat is when a former colony stops being afraid and starts living independently.

@ABarbashin @RALee85 Ukraine is ready for peace now, but Russia must leave the whole of Ukraine for things to start moving. Then Ukraine and Russia can negotiate reparations.

While many western media post interviews and multiple articles on “Putin is ready to peace now. That’s why” Lavrov before and Yushakov now keeping repeating: Russia is ready for peace but Ukraine must leave the whole of Donetsk region for things to start moving.

@IAPonomarenko @McFaul And he made Putin look like a fool with his decree “allowing” Russia to hold its parade.

In other words, Ukraine made Putin buy peace and quiet for his freaky “victory day parade” in Moscow in exchange for 1,000 Ukrainian POWs getting back home. An excellent trade, if you ask me.

Lavrov again warns there will be “No mErCY” if anyone tries to disrupt Moscow’s pathetic little parade. Oh no. What will Russia do? Bomb schools, hospitals, churches and kindergartens? Kill women, children and the elderly? Try to freeze civilians to death? Oh wait.

@McFaul “Putin says he isn’t and there is no reason he would lie.”

I look forward to Trumps comments on this. But not holding my breath.

@Hexagram012 @biannagolodryga Ukraine didn’t choose war with Russia, it was thrust upon them. What they chose was to fight rather than surrender.

@biannagolodryga The 'Slava Ukraini' war has been terrible for Israel and the US. Not just the colossal economic waste. It pushed Russia closer to Iran *and* China. Terrible decision for the Democrats and Ukraine to choose war with Russia instead of NATO constraints.

“a confidential document (prepared by the GRU) obtained from a trusted source suggests that Russia has offered to provide Iran with unjammable drones and training on how to use them against American troops in the Gulf and perhaps elsewhere.” economist.com/europe/2026/05…

@adgils78 @biannagolodryga Ever hear of fiber optic drones? They are untamable because they don’t use radio signals. And Russia isn’t in full retreat in Ukraine. They are largely in a stalemate, making slow and costly gains in some regions and losing ground in others.

@cdnpoliticalsa1 @biannagolodryga @PekingMike Russia makes their own drones based on modified Iranian designs and with parts from China and Western countries.

@biannagolodryga @PekingMike You absolute retard. Russia gets its drones from Iran and China. You think Russia is going to sell the drones back to Iran? Russia also getting its ass handed to it by the Ukrainians who are running laps around the Russians when it comes to drone warfare. Cope harder.

@JohnnySubRosa04 @biannagolodryga @mdubowitz Every missile the US uses to shoot down an Iranian drone is a missile that won’t be going to Ukraine to shoot down a Russian drone. The US is expending expensive missiles to defend against cheap drones. Putin wants stocks depleted.

@biannagolodryga @mdubowitz I doubt this is true. Why would Russia risk its [functioning]“unjammable drones” in this war zone where the U.S. is so dominant, while stagnating in Ukraine? What does Russia gain from this?

Spiderkash was my favorite!!! 🤣😆😂👊🔥😜 Bwah ha ha HA HA HA HAHAHA ha!!!

@meduza_en These “Peace talks” were always pointless. A waste of Ukraine’s time and an opportunity for the Trump administration to pressure Ukraine into ceding territory. Now Trump has eliminated Ukraine aid he doesn’t have the cards. Thanks to Russia for ending the charade.

Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov says Russia sees no point to a new round of trilateral talks until Ukraine retreats from the Donbas, framing the withdrawal as a prerequisite for suspending military operations before moving toward a longer-term settlement. meduza.io/en/news/2026/0…

@IAPonomarenko @saintjavelin The Kerch bridge is waiting…

It will be monumentally hilarious if, amid all this drama, Ukraine ultimately choses not to strike the “victory day parade” in Moscow at all -- but instead uses the opportunity to hit exposed military factories and oil terminals all across European Russia, precisely in those areas where air defenses had been pulled away to shield Putin’s trembling ass for 20 minutes in the open air.
