White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles is reportedly urging White House aides to stop censoring reports of US military losses and Iranian military successes as well as plunging poll numbers and gas price trends from President Trump to make him realize what a disaster his great power war with Iran has become.
Vera Bergengruen@VeraMBergen

Susie Wiles has expressed concerns that aides are giving Trump “a rose-colored view of how the war was being perceived domestically, telling Trump what he wanted to hear” and urged them to “be “more forthright with the boss” about the political and economic risks. @EricCortellessa time.com/article/2026/0… apple.news/AdQHUbJyiR_ymh… This material may be protected by copyright.

Bad faith negotiations preceded war: “plan of attack was set in motion nearly a month before it was executed according to 2 senior U.S. officials. It took weeks of meticulous coordination, much of it conducted in close consultation w/ Israeli counterparts” time.com/article/2026/0…

When POTUS tells the Europeans, Indians, etc., to open the Strait of Hormuz on their own, it's very simple what these nations will do: they will cut deals with Tehran, pay tolls to pass through the Strait, and they will pay those tolls in Chinese Yuan. End of Petrodollar.

The bridge on State Road 16 over the Trigno River, between Abruzzo and Molise in central Italy, collapsed this morning. No one was hurt, but a key route is cut; extreme weather and flooding were major factors.

Absolute humiliation for the White House. A Japanese official reveals French President Macron is actively using Japan's Prime Minister to manage Donald Trump ahead of the G7. European leaders are treating the US President like a volatile liability.

🇺🇸🧐 TRUMP IS CRAZY. THE LEVEL OF MADNESS WILL KEEP RISING — IT’S GOING TO BLOW SOON! That’s not me saying it — that’s former Trump lawyer Cobb, who worked with him for many years. “Trump has always been driven by narcissism and nothing but narcissism, but now he has simply gone insane — it’s obvious to everyone around him. He needs to be removed from the White House. He is seriously mentally ill.” Cobb’s words are not a revelation, but a diagnosis that has long been in the air. Narcissism here is not just a personality trait — it is the engine, the steering wheel, and the braking system all at once. An impulse means action. He wants something — he declares it. He feels offended — he starts breaking things. The problem is that the world is not a reality TV stage where you can rewrite the script after a failed line. But Trump behaves exactly like that: as if each of his whims is a new episode, and the consequences can be edited out in post-production. Hence the feeling of growing madness. Not because he suddenly changed — but because the system around him is no longer capable of smoothing out his impulses. Before, there were filters. Now — there is a microphone and a live broadcast. And yes, “we will see more and more madness.” Because a narcissist cannot stop. He always needs more — attention, conflict, drama. That is his oxygen. The question is no longer what he will do next. The question is — how much longer the world is willing to tolerate it.

🚨HOLY SMOKES: Reporter to Starmer: “Trump says the US won’t back the UK anymore. How seriously do you take that threat?” Starmer: “It won’t change my position. I serve the British national interest. Whatever the noise.” Whatever the noise. Trump is an international embarrassment.

Processional departure of the image of Our Lady of the Sweet Name from San Pedro el Viejo, in Madrid. The statue is so large and the chapel doorway so small that the bearers must carry the paso out on their knees.

The French President Just Reminded The World What Class Looks Like Donald Trump stood in front of a camera and did what Donald Trump does. He mocked Emmanuel Macron’s wife. He put on a fake French accent. He told the world that Brigitte Macron “treats him extremely badly” and that the French president was “still recovering from a right hook to the jaw.” It was the geopolitical equivalent of a man shouting at clouds. Macron was in South Korea when someone asked him about it. He paused. He considered the question with the expression of a man who has just been informed that a golden retriever has urinated on his Bentley. Then he said this: “Neither elegant nor up to standard.” Seven words. That was it. Seven words delivered with the quiet, devastating calm of someone who genuinely does not need to raise their voice because the staff will handle it. It was the verbal equivalent of a single raised eyebrow from a man in a perfectly fitted suit, looking down at someone who has just spilled red wine on the carpet at Versailles. Consider the man on the other end of that eyebrow. A man who wears a red baseball cap to diplomatic meetings and a white one to funerals. A man who arrives at the most solemn occasions in the world looking like he has just wandered in from a golf buggy. A man whose morning routine apparently involves industrial quantities of spray tan applied to a face that has, at various medical estimations, the cardiovascular profile of a blocked Manhattan sewer. A man whose idea of a state dinner is a quarter pounder eaten alone in a motorcade. This is the man who decided to lecture the world about Emmanuel Macron’s marriage. Trump called NATO a “paper tiger.” He mocked a head of state’s wife. He uploaded the whole embarrassing performance to the White House YouTube channel, briefly, before someone in the building apparently remembered that diplomacy exists and pulled the plug. Macron’s response landed like a white glove placed gently on a table. Not thrown. Placed. “Neither elegant nor up to standard.” In French diplomatic circles, that sentence is a declaration of war. In English, it translates roughly to: I have noticed your behavior, and I find it beneath comment, which is why I am commenting on it once, quietly, before returning to matters of actual importance. There is a man in this story who has spent eighty years on this earth and still cannot find a suit that fits, a tie that stops at his belt, or a shade of foundation that occurs anywhere in nature. And there is a man who responded to being publicly humiliated by the most powerful person on earth with seven words and a expression that could freeze the Seine. Macron has something Trump has spent his entire life trying to purchase and never quite managed. Class. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

🚨BREAKING: Countries that can now pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Malaysia. Thailand. South Africa. Philippines. India. Pakistan. Sri Lanka. Bangladesh. China. The US is losing control. Nations that refused to bow are moving freely. The empire can threaten. It cannot stop them. The multipolar world is here. The Strait is no longer an American weapon.

Quote from the Korean president today: “If we save every drop of fuel, avoid wasting even a single plastic bag, and add a spirit of mutual consideration and collective resolve, we can emerge from the tunnel of crisis safely and swiftly,” This guy sounds really worried. As he should be. I imagine knock on effects around Asia once exports start to be restricted. Others will need to follow suit quickly or they will be stripped. The issue here is all countries are in the same boat. And the last boat arrived almost two weeks ago now from the Gulf.

Apocalyptic economic fallout. NHK confirms Trump's disastrous war has completely paralyzed India's massive textile industry. With 90% of their LPG imports choked off at the Strait of Hormuz, HALF A MILLION workers just lost their jobs. The global supply chain is collapsing.

The President of the United States woke up this morning and posted a 150-word personal attack on Bruce Springsteen. Not on Iran. Not on the tariffs crashing global markets. Not on the recession warnings. Bruce Springsteen. There is a standard psychological tool called the Hare Psychopathy Checklist. It has 20 items scored on a scale from 0 to 40. The cutoff for a diagnosis of psychopathy is 30.  The average person scores around 4. The average maximum security prisoner scores 22.  A panel of eminent psychiatrists assessed Trump before his 2024 sentencing in New York. He scored 36 out of 40.  The 25th Amendment exists precisely for this. Section 4 allows the Vice President and a majority of the Cabinet to declare the president unable to carry out his duties.  It has never been used. In any normally functioning democracy, the bar would be far lower. Most leaders in that position resign themselves. Instead, this one is on Truth Social at 7:58 AM calling a rock legend a dried-up prune. America is fighting a war it cannot exit in Iran. Markets are in freefall. Allies are making alternative plans. And the man with the nuclear codes is writing concert reviews. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1
