Mark Cuban stands behind Trump as Trump speaks on behalf of stealing from taxpayers. This is why you don't go to the White House to do events with Trump -- you end up disgracing yourself.

Also: President Trump previously said he had personally chosen the contractor to fix the Reflecting Pool, because of the good work they did on his golf club's swimming pools. Now, Trump says does not know them.

A reminder whenever Trump posts these cartoons pretending to be on the front lines of any conflict: He sought and received five deferments and didn’t serve in the Vietnam War. He’s happy to wage wars, but happier still to have other people fight them.

Completely ruthless and craven. “After halting a U.S. resettlement program for Afghans who helped the American war effort, President Trump is in talks to send as many as 1,100 of them to the Democratic Republic of Congo.” nytimes.com/2026/04/21/wor…

Trump has never been good at geography. Even when it comes to countries he’s bombing and blockading. Where is the Strait of Iran?

First, Iran, now Hungary. Quite a losing streak for JD Vance and the White House. Is he going to Greenland next?
