This is a taste of the report documenting the last 7 days. The website formatting is much cleaner than how it came out with copy and paste:
On Wednesday, CNN reported that Trump is considering a national emergency declaration, using the International Economic Emergency Powers Act, to provide justification for imposing his threatened tariffs on U.S. adversaries and allies.
On Thursday, as wildfires burned throughout Los Angeles, Trump told Republican governors that California Gov. Gavin Newsom “is largely incompetent,” and spread the false accusation that Newsom refused to sign a “water restoration declaration.”
Trump also blamed Biden, falsely claiming that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had “no money” to help California. Congress recently passed a disaster relief supplemental of $29 billion.
On Thursday, Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov told CNBC that the Kremlin is watching Trump’s Greenland ambition with “great interest.” Kremlin pundits say Trump’s rhetoric gives Moscow the green light to absorb sovereign states.
Historian Timothy Snyder noted Trump’s rhetoric around Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, and renaming the Gulf of Mexico “plagiarizes” Putin’s rhetoric before he launched his first invasion of Ukraine in 2014.
On Wednesday, Trump’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court to block sentencing in the New York hush money case, claiming Trump was protected by presidential immunity. Trump also made the request to the New York Court of Appeals.
Shortly after, reporting indicated that Trump had spoken to Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Jr. mere hours before his lawyers’ request, raising ethical concerns.
Justice Alito claimed the call was a routine job reference for a former law clerk being considered for the regime; however, it would be highly unusual for Trump to make such a call, rather than a lower-level aide.
On Thursday, the New York Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court, rejected Trump’s request to postpone his sentencing, leaving the Supreme Court as his last option.
