Some telling points:
The first president in living memory that didn't ask Congress to consider any new legislation. "L'État, c'est moi!" He really doesn't give a shit what Congress does. He continues to rule primarily by Executive dictat, and as long as Congress sits on its hands and doesn't interfere, that's fine with him. Section One of the U.S. Constitution states, "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives." It may as well be Sanskrit poetry to Trump and his toadies, who dream of nothing more that a late-Roman situation where the Emperor rules absolutely, and the Senate is a harmless debating club.
A great prequel by Bill Maher:
Total disregard for the plight of the working class. I could get hyperbolic here, so I'll just stay calm and post NPR's guarded language:
Voters have been saying for a long time that prices and the cost of living are their top concerns. It's largely what has landed Trump and the Republican Party in a precarious position ahead of this year's midterm elections.
And yet, Trump largely ignored the economic hardships many are feeling. He gave a rosy outlook, touting the stock market and lower gas prices. But the reality is, it's just not how voters are feeling, and Trump did not have an "I feel your pain" moment in this speech.
More of his typical lies. Again, trying to claim credit for having "ended 8 wars". Not going to fully repeat my debunking of this one, which I have previously debunked not once but twice in this forum. In short, at best he can claim to have brokered three ceasefires: Rwanda-Congo, Armenia-Azerbaijan, and Israel-Gaza. All three are tenous ceasefires, frequently punctuated by violence, and none of the three have resulted in a permanent peace treaty. In Gaza. more than 500 civilians have been slaughtered by Israel since the "ceasefire" In Congo, fighting continues. In Armenia, fighting has stopped for now, but troops are still staring each other down and true peace remains elusive. Of the others, two ended without any useful input from him (India-Pakistan and Cambodia-Thailand), one was a completely fictional war that never happened (Egypt-Ethiopia), one ended long before he got into office (Serbia-Kosovo), and one was a war that he encouraged (Israel-Iran) and can't really take credit for walking away from.
Representative Raul Ruiz of California went through the speech’s claims one by one. “He lied to us about inflation, while his tariffs have increased costs for all of us. He lied to us about healthcare, while his policies took away health coverage from millions of Americans. He lied to us about protecting retirees, while he is doing everything he can to dismantle social security and Medicare.”
Ruiz added: “Trump wants desperately a Nobel prize – with all his lies, he should try to get one for fiction.”
Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia said: “Their proudest accomplishment is taking food away from working families to give their donors another tax cut.”
Some really wild fantasies. Claims to have secured $18 trillion in new foreign investment. Even the official White House estimate is $9 trillion, which he conveniently doubled, but almost every economist who has analyzed even those numbers believes they are mostly fake. Here's an article from the very conservative Cato Institute: https://www.cato.org/commentary/trumps- ... on-fantasy
My Cato Institute colleague Alan Reynolds works his way through the figures and finds several basic errors. First, he looks at the Fed’s 2025 foreign investment data and finds no evidence of a significant uptick. In fact, FDI “grew 23% more rapidly during the Biden years, 2021–24, than it did in the first three quarters of 2025.”
Broader domestic investment figures were similarly unspectacular last year, particularly in the manufacturing sector that Trump is targeting: “growth of US fixed investment in plant and equipment was relatively weak last year. … Real investment has been rapidly falling in manufacturing structures (factories)—the opposite of the President’s familiar justification for high and erratic tariffs on imported manufactured goods (to ‘rebuild American manufacturing’).”
The obvious rebuttal to these figures is that Trump’s investment figures are prospective—meaning they represent investments to come, not spending that has already happened. And that’s a fine point, given the announcements’ timing. Yet here, too, there are plenty of problems. For starters, the only actual evidence the White House has offered of a tariff-fueled “Trump Effect” on domestic investment is a list of 132 “private and foreign investment” announcements it claims was “made possible by President Trump’s leadership.” But even that totals just $9.6 trillion—a little more than half of what Trump keeps claiming.
This hefty sum, moreover, is also wildly exaggerated. A Bloomberg analysis of the White House’s “investment” list shows that about $2.6 trillion isn’t investment at all. Instead, it’s routine U.S. business expenses (e.g., worker training) or vague commitments to purchase U.S. goods. Some of those commitments, moreover, relate to military equipment that foreign governments (e.g., Saudi Arabia) already wanted to buy. Others, such as India’s promises to stop buying Russian oil and start buying U.S. liquid natural gas, might never happen for practical and geopolitical reasons. Others still—as is the case of the EU’s purchase promises—simply can’t happen because government officials in these places don’t have the authority to control private firms’ purchasing decisions.
The remaining $7 trillion on the White House list is split evenly between U.S. firms and overseas governments and companies, but there are big red flags here, too. “Most of the biggest investment plans,” Reynolds explains, came from large multinational corporations—Apple, Meta, Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, Micron, IBM, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Merck, Johnson &Johnson, and AbbVie—that were already investing heavily in the United States and had already planned even more spending in the future, long before any tariff-induced “Trump Effect.”
