Chopper pressers are the best pressers. President Trump stops to talk to the assembled press pool about current political events as he heads to Bedminster, New Jersey.
President Trump answered questions about firing the labor statistics commissioner, tariffs, Ukraine, Gaza and possible prosecution of Hillary Clinton. WATCH:
.

40billion deficit with Switzerland!
Switzerland is a major exporter of pharmaceuticals to the entire world not just the United States.
Would you rather buy you medication from India or China?
Nobody. US should produce it
Maybe payments transfers from Fed Reserve to BIS???
What is Trump’s problem with Russia?
Did you listen to what he said?
I heard the reason plan as day.
“The Russians are winning a war which we started” does not sound like a real good reason. And yet that is the reason.
🤦♀️ 🤦♀️ President Trump told Zelensky
to his face during White House visit…
You. Are. Losing.
Now, months later Zelensky has almost run
out of money, troops, arms/ammunition and
lost even more territory.
And ….Zelensky and UK/Euroweenies think
they get to dictate terms? 🙃🤪😜
She probably doesn’t know the backstory…
see my post above…I don’t believe many know
I had to listen to presser twice to make sure
I heard him correctly.
🤷♀️
Oops…my post below.
It’s about the recent twitter fight/trolling
between Ms Lindsey, President Trump
and former President of Russia- Dmitry Medvedev.
I posted Medvedev reply…guess everyone will
have their own view/take on it.
Me…🤐🤐🤐
🤷♀️
See below -my answer to Sally and her question.
🤷♀️
Zelensky is continuing this war to fatten his pockets with the money.
Nuclear.
Another first name troll…
You could have just told her about
the twitter fight with former President
of Russia President Trump mentioned.
🤷♀️ 🤷♀️
Troll, name calling, harassment of a frequent CTH member, totally verboten here.
Sally just had a question. Do you know the answer, or not?
The billionaires who gave President Trump hundreds of millions of dollars in 2024 seem to really hate Russia.
Other than the fact that Putin is a two-face liar and a kill crazy war monger ?
You haven’t been around here very long, have you?
He’s from Tavistock
Actually, I’m from Nespelem.
Victoria Nuland on Bio Labs in Ukraine (Streamed LIVE March 8th 2022)
Um, who was it that said NATO will not move 1 inch closer to Russia but since that statement NATO has added, what, 7 or so additional countries……and has not moved 1 inch closer to Russia but MILES closer. Exactly who is/was the two-faced liar? In addition, during the last 50+ years or so, who has been ‘war mongering’ worldwide for the sake of ‘democracy’? Why in hell would Russia believe ANYTHING NATO/US tells them? I imagine V Nuland is the face of ‘trustworthiness’ to Russian leadership……
..Can you tell us about Zelensky…….???
At least Putin still holds presidential elections (or ANY election for that matter) unlike some guy whose name starts with ‘Z’.
Which btw, ‘Z’ is now in his 8th year of a 5-year term.
RogerRamjet haven’t heard that name in long time!
Great question!
👍 👏
Thinking it may be this…
Ms Lindsey got his feelings hurt by
trying to pick a twitter fight with
Dmitry Medvedev.
Medvedev called Graham….Gramps. 🤣
Graham had been talking smack, as usual, about Russia.
Dmitry Medvedev is former Russian President. 🤷♀️
I guess Ms Lindsey got butt hurt- then ran
sniveling to President Trump…..
President Trump then tried to pick a twitter
fight with Medvedev…who is also known
for being …troll master.
Did not end well…Medvedev ended with
comment about “Dead Hand”
Here is the tweet..
“Dmitry Medvedev
About Trump’s threat against me on
his personal ‘Truth’ social media network,
which he has banned in our country.
If some words from a former president of
Russia trigger such a nervous reaction from
the high-and-mighty president of the United
States, then Russia is doing everything right
and will continue to proceed along its own path.
And about India’s and Russia’s ‘dead economies’
and ‘entering very dangerous territories’- well let
him remember his favorite movies about ‘the walking dead’,
as well as how dangerous the fabled ‘Dead Hand’ can be.😂”
My research….
💥💥”The “Dead Hand “, or Perimeter System, is a long-standing
fail-safe mechanism/plan which a full -scale retaliation in case
any nation is foolish enough to try a decapitation strike “ 💥💥
Biden’s BLS constantly fudged (outright manipulated) the monthly employment figures.
As late as last night I wondered how long it would take for him to fire her 😎
Good!
I’ve been telling my friends and interlocuters, for decades now, that I don’t trust the job or GDP numbers.
One of my most moderate friends asked me one time, years ago, “Well, what numbers do you trust?”
”None of them, until I feel there’s someone in charge that I CAN trust”
Statistics/numbers can be “arranged” for the purposes of whoever’s hands they are in. Political weapons in Biden’s case and without questions other administrations. Same for inflation.
I have thought the same as you have, Cadence…for decades.
I am looking forward to seeing whom President Trump chooses.
I’d suggest he consult Ed Dowd for recommendations.
You can’t be serious. Ed Dowd is an anti-MAGA hack who worked for Blackrock.
concur
Ed’s a prognosticator extraordinaire
He absolutely is.
He’s not on covid
Suggest he consult William M. Briggs ‘Statistician to the Stars’, Former Cornel prof. , Scientist , slayer of Experts miss-use of mathematics

“Figures don’t lie but liars figure!”
You make it sound as though President Trump isn’t capable of manipulating the numbers.
If you think he wouldn’t, I have some pork you can sell to some Brooklynites.
Loyalty first.
I won’t insult your intelligence by suggesting that you actually believe what you just wrote.
The onslaught of trolling lately indicates to me that our little treehouse must be considered a significant threat to the left. Kinda makes a body proud, don’t it?
We call them as we them, beagle…and as they probably are 😎
Good one Betsy.
In Twelfth Night Toby calls Maria, the servant he will later marry, a Beagle which was a form of compliment.
In Timon of Athens it is more insulting. Timon tells Alcibiades and a group of women (‘whores’ to leave him alone … “get thee away, and take thy beagles (snooping on others) with thee”
I would trust a magic 8 ball in the hands of my 7 year old grandson before I’d believe a Biden/Obama lackey holdover.
Get a grip.
Asides from the fact that Vance is a big fan of hers (and voted for her), she’s had a long career in government, including positions with the Census Bureau, Treasury and White House, where she was a senior economist on the Council of Economic Advisers.
Watch – President Trump is going to pluck another goober from Fox News or Newsmax.
Census bureau? Interesting.. Isn’t that used to count illegal border jumpers and leftists whose curious migratory patterns have gerrymandered formerly conservative voting districts?
Please don’t talk smack about my Oracle, here at CTH. It has served me well.
I just keep shaking it until I get the answer I want.
Oh wait, I forgot I’m not a Democrat, nor an idiot.
I believe it was Winston Churchill who said, “There are three kinds of liars, Liars, Damn Liars and Statisticians”
I think you’re right, benzy. Was he wrong??
Nope 👍🏻
I’ve never trusted polls for the same reason. The medical industrial complex is another propaganda arm that we simply can’t afford to trust, if we wish to remain healthy.
There are so many of them that I basically have no trust of anything I hear or read. That’s a good place to start. Then we can begin to see what’s what.
Has anyone received the Good Housekeeping Award in same year as Nobel Peace Prize?

next to impossible to believe anything coming from the ds sources
Well, she’s gone now, Bud, or soon will be.
Makes me wonder what a revised GDP would look like next month had she not been given her pink slip today.
There still far, far too many hate filled Biden/Obama subversives embed in the bowels of every department or agency.
And for this I do have to give huge credit to Laura Loomer and her bloodhound-like diligence in exposing them.
I don’t believe any of it.
None.
Nada.
Zilch.

Established as the General Accounting Office by the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, the GAO was renamed the Government Accountability Office in 2004 to better reflect its expanded mission beyond financial auditing to include performance evaluations and oversight.

Shadowstats.com!! It took me a while, but I finally remembered 👍🏻
https://www.shadowstats.com/
right there with you, Betsy, and would guess most on tct share your thoughts
ds=bs
scUM cheats at everything.
This site is changing I find myself scrolling for familiar names like yours Betsy and the former regulars to find instructive commentary, How do we filter our the noise?
Discernment, dear sir. Of which the residents of this bless-ed Tree have in abundance.
this started or the first I was aware — under the Clinton Administration
“ I would cut the check myself for the ballroom.” 😂😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Frankly, if a red line gets drawn in the sand, Trump is the kind of man who understands how to back it up. I trust his instincts on the economy and matters of state.
Jobs, illegals, votes, the deficit, cost overruns–the only thing DC counts correctly are bribes.
Agreed. But please omit the BOLD TYPE.
Why?
I like Gipper’s BOLD TYPE.
It makes it easier to find his posts.

Your last 2 words were all CAPS !!! What shall we do? Whatever shall we do?
Perhaps Sec. Bessent might suggest a trustworthy replacement for the numbers manipulator.
Numbers aren’t partisan.
Call me stupid but I just don’t understand why President Trump will not tell Putin, “Hey, Vlady. We can end this thing tomorrow. You get the regions that you fought for and won including the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk as well as Zaporozhye and Kherson. Ukraine never becomes a NATO country and Alensky will be removed. What say you?”
These people voted to be Russian citizens and then the Maidan protest, revolution and takeover of Ukraine led by Victoria Nuland-Deep State puppet -commenced, the DICK tater Alensky was installed and subsequently milked the USA cash cow while giving our beloved/sarc Senators and Reps kickback after kickback after the MIC gets paid.
Trump wants peace? Well there’s the easiest path to take. Why is he being hamstrung by some entity or force we do not know?
Wish I was an AI fly on the wall.
And “Vlad” knows such a deal would be honored just as long as Trump is President I suspect he would like a longer term arrangement with better guarantees.
Agreed.
Putin wants a lot more than Donbass and that’s the problem.
Russia is the largest country in the world approximately the size of the United States and Canada combined stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific with a population of 135 million.
I don’t think Russia needs more land!
Obviously Putin thinks otherwise.
(and better land).
Actually it is the Europe which dreamed about conquering Russia for centuries, and tried and failed and getting their hands on all the vast richness in Russia.
Exactly.
I wonder if Pinot Noir changed
names??
🤔 🤔
I haven’t seen that Nazi troll in a while. Miss “Drive-by”
Exactly! Perhaps he could have done Pinot Grigio instead of Roger ramjet?
ROFL! Good one!
a country can never have too much farmlands and rare earth mineral access though
much of both, and more, in the ukraine
There are no rare earth elements in Ukraine. It’s a carrot on the end of a stick to justify flushing billions more down the drain!
Well I recall our beloved British leader Two Tier Kier doing a deal with Ukraine to buy all their rare metals. If memory serves it was a ‘treaty’ to last 100 years or some such stupidity. Don’t forget our pensioners have been robbed to send millions of pounds and hundreds of ‘advisors’ to Ukrane
“Rare earth” minerals aren’t rare.
Was that during the reset button -Clinton incident?
🤣 🤣 🤣
Wow….Lavrov really has aged well looking at
this picture and now…he really hasn’t changed.
👍 👏
You think Putin wants Russia inhabited by Ukrainians that don’t want to be a part of Russia? Does that make sense?
What about, “To the victor goes the spoils?”
Who cares?
Well said.
MAGA didn’t sign up for a continuation of globalist wars.
Why is Trump doing what he is doing vis a vis Russia??
Because hyper-warmonger Putin has given him no other choice.
Putin’s Orthodox Christian Russia was doing a pretty good job in wiping out the Al-Cia-Duh & Obozo/Hillary ISIS terrorists. Now they are wiping out Azov Nazis and Victoria Nuland-Kagan’s Bio-Labs.
He also cut off Rothchilds strings ..and they are mad like hell for that….more than RogerRamjet……
Don’t forget to check under your bed and in the closet for Jews before you say your evening Protocol quotes.
And send another check to Hamas.
And Soros is banned in Russia – fancy that.
Hyper warmonger Putin?
What about hyper warmonger NATO? Or the CIA running biowarfare labs and sex slave businesses in Ukraine?
If Trump want the war to end, better that he be an honest broker than a potential participant.
It is not as if Russia has
not said exactly that for
the last 3 years!
Over and over and over…..
🤦♀️ 🤷♀️
No NATO
Keep territories
No Nazi
Guess that is the problem with
Geriatrics like Lindsey Graham..Gramps🤣,
Blumenthal and the rest of the Dinosaur 🦖
crowd in our Government who are still
living in the Cold War era, they appear to
be hard of hearing.
They even pulled out and dusted off
Newt Gingrich from the closet recently-
Domestic policy..maybe…but Foreign policy…
😣 😖 😬 😵💫 🤣 🤭
🤦♀️ 🤦♀️ It’s embarrassing.
Council On Foreign Relation & arch-Fabian uniparty traitor Newt had been mothballed for long time until they dusted him off hoping Heritage American would forget his many treasons and tried to dangle him to PDJT to take him as a VP or in his cabinet, PDJT smartly avoided that traitor at least. Now mr “High Pitch” Gingrich is a semi-regular on Uniparty Faux News and everyone forgets the real Newt.
That’s a great start. Add.
– unfreeze Russian assets
– create a neutral buffer zone between Russia and Ukraine
Good points. I believe Alex Christoforou (youtuber) has mentioned a few times that the EU has already spent the interest on those assets and they are now trying to change some laws that will allow them to steal it all. Would not surprise me one bit.
Thanks for playing. Now go home and read some history of Russia, Ukraine before you spout nonsense.
Yup…..
Russia didn’t move….NATO did!!
And then Russia finally said…enough is enough.
👏 👏 👍
Rootin’ for Putin !!!!
President Trump is not president of Ukraine and neither is Zelensky therefore neither can make a binding agreement to end the war.
sooo Vlad id de facto forced next few days left to 08/07/25 STALINgradized rest of Kyiv./Ukr…
Do you think the car maybe driven by the Arms Industry by any chance?
You know like Big pharma Big Guns have a lot of influence.
Just a thought.
I think you may be on the right path. Be alert for tanks trying to run us over.
One Cesspool reporter asked ” How is your health?”
Gee, does anyone remember ANY cesspool reporter asking the most demented and corrupt, installed Puppet-President with MAJOR cognitive issues THAT question?”
Me neither.
He wouldn’t have understood the question anyway.
Love that -Cesspool!
I wonder at what point the Cesspool inhabitants will be forced to cover Russiagate,perhaps if there are any court cases.
>> I wonder at what point the Cesspool inhabitants will be forced to cover Russiagate….
How about: At what point will the Cesspool inhabitants be forced to tell the truth?
I have mused over a solution to this mess and thought of this:
There needs to be a trial concerning a very large collection of lies published by the New York Times, a trial so large and comprehensive that a judgement against the NYT is necessary.
A large fine may be appropriate, but what is necessary is a requirement that henceforth anything published in any way either directly or indirectly by the NYT whether it be a newspaper or anything at all must include a warning label, analogous to the warning labels on cigarette packages, that this publication is likely to include lies, gaslighting, misdirection, or deceptions of any number of varieties base on it century-long activities of such practices. Each copy of anything published without such a warning label would be subject to confiscation and a $100 fine.
This would not infringe on the NYT’s freedom of speech (i.e., to continue to lie) , and it will not necessarily result in the [much desired] end of the NYT. After all there are many tens of thousands of leftist lives that are dependent on the NYT’s lies, and are regard its lies much like mother’s milk.

@ElectionWiz
BREAKING: The U.S. Office of Special Counsel is NOW INVESTIGATING Jack Smith.
No news on this.
If there are not some indictments coming soon it is going to be tough sledding for President Trump. The stock market has commenced a short-term Bear Market Cycle and this never makes people comfortable.
It will also be when the major affects of Tariffs kick-in….good and bad.
I just can’t hear those things. I need a transcript. (I feel like such a Boomer saying that)
The cost of hearing aids is going down with the advent of OTC devices. This boomer uses them.
I use the closed captions option whenever it’s available along with the sound because there is so much noise from the so called reporters .
It was very awkward listening to that person that was just shouting one question after the other although the President answered about 5 of them, which is pretty unusual and generous. Plus, those were really hostile like: “If you don’t like what these officials put out, will they have to fear they get fired?” etc. What a duche…! And he went on and on. How is it even possible that such a person isn’t eliminated from the press pool after such a performance? Amazing!
>> How is it even possible that such a person isn’t eliminated from the press pool after such a performance?
Don’t worry. There is an endless supply of duches lined up to replace him.
I would like to see a vote, should Ukrainians be under Ukraine or Russia, Personally I don’t know if there a difference? Current leader of both might not matter.
Donbass already voted a couple years ago
What a rabble! that’s the first time I watched/listened to the Prestitutes.
Can anyone imagine Joe O’Bongo facing that lot.
How can they sleep at night, with the stupid questions they ask President Trump?
That idiot who asked him about his health can not be serious.
There really is not much hope for a democracy when people like that are alloud to be out of the mental hospitals.
What strikes me most is that they seem to be totally incapable of learning the lesson. It’s almost like they seek to prove Pavlov wrong, or as Groening put it: Hamster 01 Bard 0. The whole presser thing should be re-thought. The people wasting the less amount of time and actually doing their job as journalists should be preferred whilst douche bags like that particular individual should be moved backwards to the last rank or line, if at all allowed to take part. Questions may well be brutal, but they should be founded on honest research and a minimum of intelligence display. How come there is just as little vetting of those guys at it seems to be when it comes to hold overs of the deep state?
I see rose bushes in the rose garden!!!
Beer summit time. Stop arming corrupt neo Nazi Ukraine. I can’t stand this pissing match bs.
The EU/UK are sabotaging Trump’s efforts in both Ukraine and Gaza. We need economic sanctions on them and not India
