Iran's new Lego viral video exposes how Trump manipulates the oil/stock market with his tweets to enrich himself through insider trading.
https://politicalhumor.substack.com/p/irans-new-lego-viral-video-exposes

The Iranian regime is evil. Absolute evil. However, they are also doing a brilliant job pointing out the corruption (and ineptitude) of the Trump administration.
[I wish Dem politicians would put even half as much effort into denouncing the Trump admn.]

"Today, that childhood dream is finally coming true. Today I can finally say the sweetest nine or 10 words in the English language: Global Tetrahedron has completed its plan to control InfoWars.com.

I’ve had a lot of time to think about InfoWars in the last year and a half. As the seasons have changed, my ambitions for the project have grown grander, crueler, better aligned with market data. Come, friends, and imagine with me…"

Modern contraception is nothing short of a medical miracle — one that has saved the lives of millions of #women and babies worldwide.

Not satisfied with the end of legal abortion in #America, the anti-abortion movement seems poised to end the era of affordable contraception."

"But #Trump seems intent on killing Title X. This month, the Dept of #Health & Human Services quietly issued new funding guidelines that have effectively subverted the program’s entire purpose. Instead of getting highly effective #contraception methods to the country’s poorest women so that they may decide if & when to have #children, Title X under Trump seems aimed at getting more #women pregnant, whether they want to be or not."

“unwanted or untimely childbearing..." A year later, Congress passed Title X: the first federal program entirely dedicated to #family planning and reproductive #health care.

It would go on to become one of the most successful #federal programs of the last century"

Of the war in Iran, Trump asked a reporter: “How do you like the performance?”

Like Putin, he feels nothing for the dead."

"I recall TrumpMania sweeping through the land in 2016 — this veteran D-lister and Ponzi schemer, six-time bankrupt, Russian mob bailed-out pageant guy, with a history of sexual assault, was making people I had once respected become total creeps.

It was like he gave them a license to be their worst selves — to be openly racist and greedy — because they’d seen him on TV and read his book of lies."
