????? Politico Loco

Trump-Putin Propaganda Poster Cartoon by Kirk Anderson Satirical summary by #ChatGPT Once upon a time, calling someone a "Commie dupe" was the favorite pastime of every self-respecting American conservative. But in a plot twist worthy of a bad Cold War novel, today’s Republicans have fully embraced their inner Soviet stooge—except this time, the strongman they worship isn’t across an ocean but sitting comfortably in Moscow, sipping victory vodka. Kirk Anderson’s parody of a Soviet propaganda poster perfectly captures the modern GOP’s undying love affair with Putin. Back in the 1920s and 30s, American leftists were mocked for idolizing Stalin. Now, it’s right-wingers who cheer on Putin’s autocratic rule like it’s the second coming of Reagan—if Reagan had annexed Crimea instead of calling the USSR an “evil empire.” The so-called "Master Dealmaker" has delivered preemptive surrenders to the Kremlin faster than you can say "Art of the Deal," baffling NATO allies while leaving Russian officials in disbelief at their historic geopolitical jackpot. But who needs allies when you have strongman bromances? Meanwhile, Trump's isolationist policies continue their uncanny resemblance to a Neville Chamberlain tribute act, minus the British accent and plus a lot more social media tantrums. The peace-through-strength crowd has seemingly rebranded as the peace-through-surrender movement, proving that when it comes to capitulating to dictators, America is—once again—leading the way. ???????? ?????????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????????? ???? ???? ???? ??????????????, ???? ?????? ?????? ???? ??????????-?????????? ????????????????????, ?????????? ?????????????????? ??????'?? ???????? ????. https://lnkd.in/guKRHMjN

???????? ???????????? ?????????? ?????? ??????????'?? ???????????????? ???????????? (???? ???????? ??????????????) Seth Meyers took a brief but scathing detour into Trump’s latest economic escapades, pointing out that the former reality TV host—now once again reality-challenged president—has yet to actually build the “strong economy” he keeps talking about. Perhaps he meant the strong economy that was already there before he started playing a tariff-based game of Jenga with global markets. Meyers also reminded America that March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate the achievements of women—unless, of course, you're Donald Trump, who celebrates by reminding everyone how much he’s had to pay them in hush money. “Women have done a lot for us,” Trump proclaimed, apparently forgetting to add, “And my lawyers have done even more.” Meanwhile, Trump—who promised that under his leadership America would be “prosperous” and “admired” again—has instead become a cautionary tale for every high school economics class covering the dangers of reckless trade policy. It’s unclear if he still believes tariffs are “good and easy to win,” but the Dow Jones suggests otherwise. As Meyers roasted Trump’s Women’s Month proclamation and his economic acumen in one swoop, the bigger question remains: Will America ever get tired of paying the price for Trump’s financial misadventures? Or are we just stuck in a perpetual Trump-branded casino where the house (China, Saudi Arabia, and Wall Street execs) always wins? This satirical summary was written by an AI, which, much like Trump's economic plan, was assembled in a rush and may not hold up under scrutiny. https://lnkd.in/grq4MCFw

?????????????????? ?????????? ???? ??????????’?? ???????????? ????… ???????????????????? ???? ??????????? Senator Adam Schiff has graciously pointed out what most Democrats realized approximately 10 minutes after Trump’s State of the Union address: they might have wanted to actually coordinate a response instead of staging a scattered assortment of protests, walkouts, and anti-Elon Musk signage. Who knew that resistance by fashion statement alone wouldn’t cut it? Trump, ever the master of monologues, delivered a 100-minute speech that, according to Schiff, featured precisely zero ideas on how to lower costs for American families. But rather than hammer that point home with a sharp, unified counter-message, Democrats instead offered a buffet of disjointed gestures—some wore pink, some held signs, some just noped out of the room altogether. And somewhere, James Carville is screaming into a pillow about how Democrats should "roll over and play dead"—a strategy that, at this point, might actually be more cohesive. Meanwhile, Trump’s economic policy remains as stable as a reality show plot twist. He imposed a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods, then delayed auto parts, then extended the delay to everything under USMCA, presumably based on the sophisticated economic principle of "seeing what sticks." Schiff warned that these moves would jack up prices for Americans—though, judging by Trump’s past economic "successes," this may have been the plan all along. At this point, Schiff is practically begging his party to get its act together, focus on policy, and articulate a clear economic alternative. A bold suggestion—though, given the Democratic track record, expect at least three weeks of internal debate over whether pink is really the best protest color. This satirical summary was written by an AI, because if the Democratic Party isn’t going to coordinate, someone has to. https://lnkd.in/gurAgw8W

?????? ???????? ???????? ???? ??????????????????: ????????????, ????????????, ?????? ????—?????? ????????, ?????????????? ???????? ?????? ???? Donald Trump, the man who once promised to “restore the integrity, competency, and loyalty of America’s government,” has found a bold new strategy for tackling the fentanyl crisis: slapping tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. That’ll show those pesky drug-dealing drones who’s boss. Meanwhile, despite a staggering 97% drop in fentanyl seizures at the border (a statistic that would normally suggest progress), Trump insists drugs are still “pouring” into the U.S. and that the only logical response is a trade war. Meanwhile, the real narco-innovators—criminal networks—are skipping the old-school cartel playbook and embracing AI, cryptocurrency, and drone technology faster than Silicon Valley can push out the next overhyped app. Forget Breaking Bad; we’re in a cyberpunk crime novel now. Russian drug markets are running billion-dollar operations on the darknet, robot dogs are delivering cocaine, and traffickers are using synthetic chemistry and blockchain to keep the authorities permanently one step behind. Narco-submarines? That’s old news. Now it’s all about autonomous aerial drug smuggling, while law enforcement struggles to catch up. And just to make things spicier, intelligence reports suggest cartels may soon be strapping explosives to their drones. But don’t worry, America First trade policies will surely deter crime lords who are already manufacturing their own chemical precursors and innovating logistics like a dystopian Amazon Prime. The war on drugs has officially entered the tech age, where criminals are pivoting faster than startups, and governments are still stuck playing Whac-A-Mole with outdated policies. Maybe Trump should just build a tariff wall around the entire internet—after all, it worked so well last time. This satirical summary was written by an AI, which—unlike Trump’s tariffs—actually understands how technology works. https://lnkd.in/grJ3rDtW

Shocked Cartoon by Milko Dalla Battista Satirical summary by ChatGPT In a move that left President Trump clutching his extension cord, Ontario Premier Doug Ford imposed a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to the U.S., targeting states like New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. This electrifying decision was in direct response to Trump's tariffs on Canadian goods. Ford, with a flick of the switch, reminded the U.S. that trade wars aren't just about who can shout "You're fired!" the loudest. Trump, seemingly unaware that other nations have agency, declared a "national electricity emergency," perhaps hoping to plug the hole in his tariff logic. He expressed disbelief, exclaiming, "You're not even allowed to do that!"—a statement that surely sent the Founding Fathers into a collective facepalm from the great beyond.

???????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????? ???? ???????????????????? ?????????? ???????????? ?????????????????? ???????? ?????? ?????????? In a stunning display of what can only be described as “lavatorial negligence,” an Air India flight from Chicago to Delhi was forced to turn around after passengers decided that airplane toilets were also a convenient place to dispose of polythene bags, rags, and—because why not—clothing. Yes, after roughly two hours in the air, crew members realized that eight of the twelve onboard toilets had essentially been turned into an avant-garde art installation of bad decisions. With the aircraft hovering somewhere near Greenland, the crew faced an existential crisis: Do they power through with four functioning toilets for a full plane of 342 people, or do they retreat in the face of this bio-plumbing catastrophe? Unsurprisingly, the pilots opted for the latter, bringing the plane back to Chicago so passengers could enjoy the rare experience of a mid-Atlantic U-turn. Upon investigation, Air India discovered a treasure trove of blocked plumbing, including plastic bags and enough fabric to start a questionable in-flight fashion line. This revelation led the airline to remind passengers—apparently for the umpteenth time—that airplane toilets are not general waste disposal units. Naturally, the incident ignited a debate online, with some blaming Air India for its “frequent mishaps” (because clearly, they should have been screening for passengers with a history of lavatory crimes). Others rightly pointed out that the fault lies with the individuals who thought airplane plumbing was an extension of their personal trash chute. At this point, one has to wonder: What’s next? Complimentary plumbing kits handed out at check-in? In-flight toilet training sessions? A dedicated “Toilet Tsar” to enforce proper usage? Only time will tell. This satirical summary was written by an AI, which—unlike some Air India passengers—knows the difference between a garbage bin and a toilet. https://lnkd.in/gVQK9Cqg

Donald Trump, in his continued quest to prove that economic policies can be both nationalist and self-defeating, has decided to crank up the tariffs on steel and aluminum once again. In a move that would make even the most aggressive protectionists blush, he has slapped an additional 25% tariff on all imported metals, ensuring that American manufacturers—from beer can makers to oil drillers—will feel the burn. Of course, Trump's favorite metal executives are thrilled, with industry titans like Leon Topalian of Nucor eagerly rubbing their hands together as prices soar. But beyond the boardrooms of steel magnates, the rest of the American economy is left wondering how exactly skyrocketing material costs are supposed to help "???????? ?????????????? ?????? ???????? ???? ?????????? ????????????." American industry, which relies heavily on imported metals, now faces an additional $22 billion in costs, according to analysts. The oil industry—one of Trump’s supposed favorite children—will be especially hard-hit, since nearly 40% of the steel used in drilling is imported. The canned food industry is also set to suffer, as aluminum prices hike up, leaving Americans to pay more for everything from Coke to canned beans. (Perhaps Trump's second term will usher in the Great Baked Bean Crisis of 2025). Even the aluminum industry itself isn’t entirely convinced. While one company is expanding production, other firms have shrugged and pointed out that electricity costs—not tariffs—are the biggest barrier to production. And because these companies plan for decades, not election cycles, Trump's unpredictable trade war instincts make long-term investment about as appealing as a Trump-branded university degree. Manufacturers, in the meantime, are scrambling for alternatives. Coca-Cola is looking at switching to more plastic bottles (because that’s what America needs—more plastic waste). Others don’t have such options, and will instead have to pass higher costs onto consumers. So much for lowering prices—wasn’t that one of Trump’s Day One promises? All of this raises the question: Is this about helping American workers, or just another ego-driven attempt at economic nationalism? After all, Trump's first round of tariffs in 2018 didn't boost steel production significantly. But they did hurt downstream industries and push up prices. Now, in Act II of this economic horror film, we seem to be getting the same script—just with even fewer exemptions and even more chaos. But perhaps there’s a silver lining here. With aluminum prices spiking and steel becoming more expensive, maybe America can finally bring back another beloved tradition: hoarding scrap metal for the impending economic collapse. ???????? ?????????????????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????????????? ???? ???? ????, ?????????? ?????????? ???? ?????? ???????? ?????????? ?????? ???????????? ?? 25% ???????????? ?????????? ????????. https://lnkd.in/gvp64Th6
