Trump's New Dollar
July 1, 2026 — Something strange is happening to your money. It wasn't voted on. It wasn't debated in the
Senate. And most Americans have no idea it's even taking place but . . . President Trump is replacing the US dollar.
Not with crypto. Not with a digital currency. Something far bigger than that–and it's already been signed and sealed in the back rooms of D.C., ready to be issued by the US Treasury.
Bypassing every legal and political channel under the guise of "national security," Trump has enacted this total money reset using a landmark executive order 14241. It is
patterned after the Petro-dollar which expired on June 9, 2024 and Saudi Arabia chose not to renew its specific terms. However it unrelated to oil. Soon, every US citizen will be forced to use
Trump's New Dollar to fill their gas tank, buy groceries, and pay medical bills . . . Full story: porterandcompanyresearch.co

Made in China or Taiwan? Trump T1 Gold Phone now 'Designed with American Values in Mind'
May 28, 2026 — Lies, lies and more lies. Trump and his Make America Great Again (MAGA) agenda has practically broken every single
promise he made to his supporters when he was on the campaign trial. Trump claimed that he was all about "America First" and that he would work for the American people, but that was an
obvious lie because he was and still is literally working on behalf of Israel and of course, Big Oil when he decided to start a new war against Iran that resulted in a humiliating defeat for the US
military.
Trump had promised that he was going to bring manufacturing jobs to the US by pushing his tariff policies on the planet in order to force both American and foreign companies to make products in
the US, and that these same companies would pay the tariffs, but that did not happen, instead it turned out that the US consumer would end up paying for the tariffs. Trump's reckless
tariff policies ultimately backfired in his face when US courts finally ruled against him because he had no Constitutional authority and did not follow international trade laws.
Now there is something going on with Trump's 'T1 Gold Phone' about being "Made in the USA" which may be another lie which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at this point in time. Trump's T1
Gold Phone was supposed to be "Made in the USA" which was about putting "America First" right? Well, not quite. According to various reports, Trump's phone may not even be manufactured in the
US.
Back on June 17th, 2025, The Verge, which was one of the first online news websites that focuses on technology issues who has been investigating Trump's T1 Gold Phone since
its introduction had published an interesting article, 'Who is really behind the Trump Mobile T1 phone? Our money's on one of these Chinese ODMs, but which phone is it?' said that "A spokesperson
for the Trump Organization doubled down on this claim to The Wall Street Journal, saying "manufacturing for the new phone will be in Alabama, California and Florida." Ok, that's
interesting, but does the US really have that type of capability to produce such a complicated mobile device, and if they did, how much would it actually cost?
But unless the organization has somehow hidden an entire domestic mobile device supply chain right under our noses, this is virtually impossible. The T1 Phone, as it's called, lists some decent
midrange specs like a 6.8-inch OLED 120Hz refresh rate screen. Offering it for $500 as soon as this fall? That would take a miracle. Case in point: a company called Purism makes a device
called the Liberty Phone, which sources many of its parts from US companies and assembles it here. The cost? $2,000, and you won't find something as luxurious as an OLED panel there
A report published on May 19th, 2026 by the UK-based, The Independent, 'The Trump cell phone has finally arrived – but is no longer 'Made in the USA' and the American
flag design is missing two stripes' said that!!
"The gold-plated $499 phone is no longer marketed as "Made in the USA," and the American flag design on the back of the handset appears to have 11 stripes instead of 13" which is a
major error especially for the average MAGA supporter who are the majority of the people who invested in the $499 phone. "The Android-operated device was first promoted as "Made in the
USA" in June 2025, CNN and NBC News noted. But Trump Mobile has since changed the language on its website to "designed with American values in mind."
Let me get this straight, Trump was promoting "America First" by promising to bring manufacturing jobs to the US by enforcing his tariffs on all countries who export to the US and force
them to make those same products in the US, now the world is finding out that his own T1 Gold Phone is made somewhere else?
So, is the Trump T1 Gold phone actually made in China or in Taiwan?
"Trump Mobile CEO Pat O'Brien told USA Today that the phones were "assembled" in the US and that models will use components "primarily manufactured in America." Tech experts told NBC News
that the phone appears to resemble an HTC U-24 Pro, which is made in Taiwan.
"It looks physically very similar, and that matches with what we've been told so far," Shahram Mokhtari, an engineer at tech repair company iFixit told NBC News.
Another recent article published by the International Business Times, 'Trump Gold Phone Scam' 'Made in USA' Mobile Likely sourced in China, Release Date Delays Raise More Questions'
said that!
"The smartphone, launched under Donald Trump's family-backed Trump Mobile brand, was originally introduced as a patriotic alternative to Apple and Samsung devices."
But was it a patriotic alternative?
How could the T1 phone be manufactured in the US when it doesn't have the capability to produce such a product?
Early marketing for the T1 repeatedly emphasized that the phone would be built in the United States, a major selling point for many conservative supporters who pre-ordered the device. However,
technology analysts quickly questioned whether such a product could realistically be manufactured domestically, given the lack of large-scale smartphone assembly infrastructure in the US.
Within weeks, Trump Mobile reportedly altered language on its website, replacing 'Made in the USA' references with softer wording that described the device as being 'designed with
American values.' The change fueled speculation that the phone may actually rely on Chinese manufacturing or imported components
When the Trump T1 Gold phone was first announced, it was all about it being made in the USA, but then things started to take a different turn. According to a media company based in India,
Times Now news said that Trump's T1 Gold phone is linked to a Chinese company called Wingtech, a manufacturer based in the city of Shenzhen claimed that the phone resembles the
REVVL 7 pro 5G as its described below:
Despite those assurances, industry analyst Max Weinbach suggested the T1 may actually be linked to Chinese manufacturing giant Wingtech, now owned by Luxshare. Weinbach
claimed the phone resembles the REVVL 7 Pro 5G with a customized exterior and upgraded internals.
The Trump-branded smartphone has also undergone multiple redesigns since its unveiling. Early versions featured different screen specifications and branding elements, while the latest render
shows a more conventional vertical camera arrangement and an American flag logo on the back
However, The Verge, published another article on the subject, 'The Trump Phone is Not Here' which claimed that the Trump T1 Gold Phone might be manufactured in Taiwan?
Others say the phone is based on the $250 T-Mobile Revvl 7 Pro 5G—we considered the same back when the T1 was first announced, but the latest version of the phone doesn't match the
Revvl at all. Some publications are even reporting that the phone is made in China—it might well be, but we don't know, and if anything the available evidence suggests that Taiwan is more
likely at all. Some publications are even reporting that the phone is made in China—it might well be, but we don't know, and if anything the available evidence suggests that Taiwan is more
likely.
So where is the Trump T1 phone made? It's hard to say, but the truth will come out sooner or later, and when it does, I have a feeling that when the people who invested in the phone find out
that they were lied to about where the product was made and how good it's supposed to be in comparison to Samsung, Apple and other name brands, they will be disappointed. Maybe it's fair to
say that they once again, got conned by the conman in charge. Full story: globalresearch.ca
Disappearance of the 'Peace President'
May 28, 2026 — Tucker Carlson's recent video on Rep. Thomas Massie's defeat provided an excellent analysis of
the country's optimism at the time of Donald Trump's election in 2024. Carlson included an assessment of Trump's transition with alarming foreign policy shifts that most Americans had not voted
for.
Carlson went on to question an eerie premonition on Trump's transformation that was perhaps already on the agenda with the sudden appearance of Miriam Adelson at an early morning Church service on Inauguration Day.
I can relate to Tucker's disappointment, echoing my own alienation that our newly elected President not only failed to fulfill his America First agenda but abandoned his loyalty to the US in favor of
becoming a Zionist President aligned with a foreign country with less than honorable intentions; some of the President's behavior may be attributed to a malignant narcissism or other progressive
cognitive decline.
My support for Donald Trump dated back to his "No New Interventionist
War" pledge during the 2016 campaign which first caught my attention which later found expression in his 2025 promise to
end the Ukraine war 'on day one'.
The Peace President spoke to my anti-war roots (my middle name is Dove after my Scottish grandmother Emma Dove) as the promise to end Ukraine failed as Trump continued to provide funding
and weapons to the Ukraine conflict which was soon followed by a month of bombing attacks on Yemen.
As weeks moved into months and the US maintained its 'proxy' status on Ukraine, the new President proved inept at understanding how to bring the war to a conclusion with a startling lack of
initiative and sufficient experiential power to understand where the levels of power were.
Eliminating the funds and weapons took little effort when all he needed was to give The Order, 'no more to Ukraine'—but that never occurred as Trump continued to blame "Biden's War" as if
repeating that mantra relieved him of any responsibility to end
the war as promised.
During those
early months of
Trump's administration, it was more than noticeable that he never spoke against the inhumanity of the massacre being committed as a horror show on the Palestinians in Gaza. The President
continued his supply of providing the weapons and bombs for the Zionists to continue its
slaughter of Palestinian families and their children.
Why was my Peace President bombing Yemen, one of the poorest countries on the planet with no explanation and in violation of the Constitution and international law? Who was this monster who
pretended to be the Peace President that I voted to elect?
Over the course of the next several months, another six more countries were
bombed for no discernible reason—until the sudden appearance of Israel's war criminal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu became an ominous vulgar presence on the Presidential
scene forming a militarist alliance. This was not my Peace President. There was no place on the President's agenda to report to the American public his change in policy as if the American people
were the last to be given any satisfaction.
The loss of Trump's high stakes opportunity in Alaska with Putin
(Russian President Vladimir Putin) was a turning point in the Administration's half-hearted attempt at peace in Ukraine; indicative of a personal incompetence that resulted in no progress
toward peace.
With that failure, the Ukraine war morphed into an opening for the Europeans to
step in to fulfill their own warped irrational hatred of Russia.
With no appreciation for Russia's legitimate security needs, diplomacy remains nonexistent between Russia and the entire EU population with strident warmongering rhetoric driving EU policy as its
descent into an ethno-hatred of Russia.
The potential of NATO expanding to the Ukraine border was the genesis of the Ukraine coup in 2014 culminating with Russia's Special Military Operation in February 2022 which remains a source of
Europe's perilous inflammatory rhetoric.
As European Russophobia led to a needless existential crisis, the Europeans would be smart to inform themselves of the declassified historic records regarding the widespread Agreement on
German reunification in February 1990.
At that time, US Secretary of State James Baker assured Soviet leaders including President Mikhail Gorbachev, and made verbal commitments to Soviet officials that NATO's
jurisdiction would not expand eastward toward the Russian border. In other words, there would be no militarist threat to Russian sovereignty.
Since no treaty documented the Agreement, it did not take long for NATO to attempt to sabotage the Agreement; with NATO on the Ukraine border and US inferred support solidified a climate of
distrust with the US for the next 40 years.
In other words, the Russians accepted that a unified Germany was worth the trade that NATO would never broach its borders. The Russians were deceived by the US and its European allies. As the
Iranians have only recently discovered, the American word is not worth the paper it's written on.
While the Iran attack began on February 28th as an unprovoked, unconstitutional war of aggression at Netanyahu's direction, the US continued to be lured into a deeper, ongoing conflict with no
logic or easily identified path of withdrawal. That same inability to assert his executive authority to end the Ukraine war is now apparent as Trump's lack of proficient skill to bring the Iran conflict
to a conclusion.
With no competent, experienced national security staff of grifters to advise him, the President's ineptitude to accept a peaceful resolution, to make the necessary compromise, to act assertively for
a fair conclusion, a promising venue with the Iranians remains elusive.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei once correctly identified the US including Donald Trump as 'agreement-averse', unable to make an agreement and stick to its principles.
Donald Trump's administration has proven to be no exception.
From there Trump's unprovoked war of aggression against Iran grew into an authentic conflict of war crimes killing 170 children with double-tap Tomahawk missile strike on its first day along with
assassination of Ayatollah Khomeini – attacks that the US has still not explained or apologized for.
The war against Iran was another unconstitutional illegal military act with little resistance from a feckless Congress which remain intimidated by feeble a President and its AIPAC funding
– except for Rep. Tom Massie and Sen. Rand Paul and a handful of others. The House has recently cancelled its proposal to vote on War Powers Act which the Senate has
already approved.
In recent years with European support, Ukraine has escalated its frequent attacks within Russia, on Russian
civilian and its infrastructure including Belgorod, the Druzhba pipeline, the Crocus theatre attack in Moscow,
the use of European air space for drone attacks, Ukraine invasion of Kursk region,
Ukraine's attack in Russia in violation of the New Start Treaty in 2025, European
presence has allowed Ukraine to function as a dictatorship under martial law, as a radical government
disrespectful of international law with no democratic tendency, denial of elections and massive corruption.
Fast forward to Ukraine's recent targeted, deliberative attack on a five story dormitory with 85 sleeping students (14 – 18 years) in Starobelsk at Luhansk Pedagogical University. Reminiscent
of Israel attacks on civilians, sixteen western supplied drones created a triple-tap strike in the night time killing of at least 21 sleeping students meaning that 16 drones repeatedly targeted the same">location on three occasions.
Luhansk is considered one of Zelensky's disputed oblasts as its citizens voted for realignment with Russia in 2022 with the Luhansk attack as if repayment for its betrayal of Ukraine.
Meanwhile, no condemnation or voices of disapproval of the attack were heard from the
collective west.
Putin called the raid a "terrorist attack by the neo-Nazi regime," iadding that he ordered the military to prepare retaliation while confirming there are "no military facilities, intelligence service
facilities or related services in the vicinity." Putin promised retaliation with Oreshnik hypersonic missile focused on military targets in Kyiv.
It would be foolish to not expect a Russian response to Ukraine's latest and most lethal drone attack killing 21 teenagers. The Russian red line has been crossed and its gloves have been removed.
The EU has openly dismissed Russian warnings of retaliation, accusing Moscow of "unacceptable escalation." While Ukraine's drones were allowed access to NATO air space in its approach to
Luhansk (via Finland and Baltic countries) was deemed "unacceptable.'
In admitting its role in the attack, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a component in Europe's effort to
destroy Russia, said after the attack "We are bringing the war back home—to Russia—and that's only fair."
Germany's Foreign Ministry said online that it had summoned Russia's ambassador and made clear "that we will not
be intimidated by threats and will continue to support Ukraine wholeheartedly."
Britain said that "the
incident has not been objectively or independently verified" adding that "there would be no civilian deaths if Russia had not launched its illegal, full-scale invasion of Ukraine."
French President Emmanuel Macron said the deployment of the hypersonic Oreshnik missile "only reinforced" the EU's determination to continue supporting Kiev. A spokesperson for the EU
said the EU delegation would not be vacating its Kyiv offices.
In other words, the short of this story is that if Trump had shut down the Ukraine war when he promised, the war would have ended three years ago, saving thousands of lives including the
Luhansk Dormitory as well as whatever foolishness the Europeans will persist in provoking.
In a press conference at the UN, Russian Ambassador to the UN, Vassily Nebenzia presented a
summary of conditions at Luhansk calling the attack a "barbarity," a 'war crime' and citing the 'nazi terrorist character" of Ukraine.
Nebenzia continued
"It is Kiev's revenge against the people of the Lugansk People's Republic who chose Russia [in a referendum in 2022]. Zelensky is actually killing his own former compatriots–he is
exterminating his former fellow citizens for refusing to live under his neo-Nazi rule." Full story: globalresearch.ca

The Brits, French, and Germans are now Right on Russia's Doorstep
A conversation between Presidents Emmanuel
Macron and Alexander Lukashenko last week was followed by Deputy Chair of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev warning about the 1941-like threat posed by Germany's remilitarization (. . . To mitigate the impact of failed geopolitical investments, Berlin aims to consolidate its position as the
leading military and political power of the European Union. To repel a potential Russian invasion, pursuant to an agreement with Lithuania, Germany decided in spring 2025 to deploy the enhanced
45th Armored Brigade of the Bundeswehr near Rdninkai, 30 km from Belarus and 160 km from Kaliningrad Oblast. The slogan Kanonen statt Butter (Guns over butter), often used with
respect to Nazi policies, accurately describes the approach to financing the venture: Vilnius has committed to cover – 2 billion in costs, a tremendous sum for the small Baltic state, to build
the necessary infrastructure for the German contingent, and Berlin will need to allocate around – 11 billion to ensure the operational readiness of the brigade, even as the German economy
needs these funds to address challenges due to macroeconomic instability. The unit has been equipped with the latest Leopard 2A8 tanks, communications systems, self-propelled artillery, etc. To
enhance its combat capability, the German authorities continue to supply it with an unprecedented volume of materiel; for instance, on February 25, 2026, the Budget Committee of the German
Bundestag expedited a – 540 million tranche for major German innovative startup Stark Defence, in which well-known American entrepreneur Peter Thiel holds a significant stake, and Helsing,
both producing kamikaze drones. The Bundeswehr plans to arm the Lithuanian outpost with advanced UAVs. Following the transfer of the NATO multinational battle group, stationed in Lithuania
since 2017, to the brigade's command in February 2026, its strength now stands at 1,700 personnel. The unit is projected to reach full combat readiness by the end of 2027. It will comprise 4,800
military personnel and 200 civilians. This marks the first deployment of regular German troops outside the FRG since World War II. The deployment has effectively established an outpost for an
eventual attack in the Eastern direction. It is impossible to interpret this military build-up, coupled with supporting long-term infrastructure, in any other way . . . In July 2025, Germany and the
United Kingdom signed the Treaty of Kensington, which includes provisions on mutual assistance in the event of an attack, complementing the notorious Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty signed
in Washington, as well as on the joint development of military equipment, such as fighter jets and missile systems. Needless to say which targets the missiles will be aimed at.) and the UK
assembling a multinational navy to contain Russia. These three developments collectively draw attention
to how the Brits, French, and Germans, Russia's traditional European rivals, are now right on its doorstep. The security implications are profound . . .
The pace and shamelessness with which Western powers are today abandoning fundamental international legal instruments and principles for the sake of short-sighted political expediency are
truly appalling. One cannot shake the feeling that had the pledge made at the time that NATO would not expand 'one inch eastward' been duly formalized in an official document, Western powers
would discard it just as readily under the current circumstances. By the same token, no one ever seriously intended to implement the Minsk agreements, whose sole purpose, based on recent public
statements from Germany and France, was to buy the Kiev puppets some time. So, what then will be the value of the much-vaunted peace settlement in Ukraine?
The "Allies" are far from honest let alone Christian. (.Ed).
Russia and Iran are allies (See Ezekiel 38-39). Russia and European nations do not want WWIII in their nations. The almighty US which would happily see WWW III in Europe, however the US will
be smitten. twice! ("The German government's reckless actions are endangering security not only in Central and Eastern Europe but across the whole continent. As it lacks the military capability to
act independently without the direct protection of its transatlantic 'big brother', it is escalating tensions by whipping up hysteria and psychosis. Its objective is to draw its ally, Washington, into a
potential confrontation between Europe and Russia. No matter what anyone claims, the Bundeswehr continues to rely profoundly on US military support. When it comes to operational planning at
present, Germany remains deeply dependent on US space-based intelligence and strategic airlift, and must align its every move with the overarching NATO command structure. Germany cannot
markedly engage in a high-intensity conflict independently without making its population bear the corresponding costs tantamount to yet another 'total war' and its apocalyptic fallout.. . .)
The main task for our country is to prevent the repetition of the tragedy of 1941, which means ensuring that our armed forces are kept in a state of permanent combat readiness, especially on the
western borders. It is important to understand that, exactly as before June 22, 1941, the Germans are deliberately laying down a network of forward staging areas along the key operational
directions. No trust should be placed in Berlin's good sense, nor any faith that it will forever refrain from risking war. Nobody should delude themselves that the German establishment will regard
itself as finally shackled by a mere slip of paper, even if a treaty outlining new principles of European security is signed.
Commenting on reports of a drone striking an apartment block in Romania on Friday, Zakharova said allegations of Russian involvement were unsupported by evidence and were being used to shift
attention away from the Starobelsk tragedy. "It's obvious why this story is being blown out of proportion. The West needs to make sure that nobody pays attention to Zelensky's crime – the
bloody, horrific terrorist attack" on Starobelsk, Zakharova said, adding that it had been carried out "with money provided by EU countries and with their direct support."
Following the drone incident on Friday, the EU country announced the closure of Russia's consulate general in the Romanian city of Constanta and declared the Russian consul general persona
non grata. Zakharova described the move as part of an "anti-Russian, Russophobic information campaign," and added that Russia's response "will not be long in coming.") She said the move
would only increase tensions in Europe and compel Russia to respond with "military-technical measures." Zakharova accused NATO of pushing the continent toward a "suicidal" conflict.
Around 10,000 American service members are currently stationed in Poland, most of them on a rotational basis, while around 80,000 are deployed across Europe. Poland shares a border with
Russia's Kaliningrad Region, an exclave on the Baltic Sea.
Trump gifts Polish president 5,000 more US troops Trump gifts Polish president 5,000 more US troops. Last week, US President Donald Trump unveiled plans to send 5,000 additional troops to
Poland, one of the most vocal supporters of Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. The announcement came after the Pentagon said it would delay the rotation of 4,000 troops, which Vice President
J.D. Vance later downplayed as a "standard delay.")
On Thursday, Sergey Naryshkin, the head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service, said NATO is "de facto preparing for a large-scale military conflict in the east." Comment:
Australia is supporting this Jewish war with Bushmaster personnel carriers, Abram 1 tanks, Black Hawk helecopters, and many millions of dollars fighting against our friends Russian Federation
with the objective of ruling Jewish one world government contrary to God's unchanging Word.
Zugzwang
The United States has followed the same program with 800 bases worldwide, in the Middle East with the Petro dollar. "In its
struggle with this tar-covered scarecrow, the US damages its own global standing, resources, and strategic position while becoming more deeply entangled in the conflict.
The Malacca Strait is concidering Toil for Tankers taking Oil from Malaysia. The US trying to increase cost of oil a German term meaning "compulsion to move" as in games like chess where a player must make a move, but every available option will worsen
their position or result in a loss
China might also soon be forced to pay tolls to transit through the Strait of Malacca and nearby Indonesian-exclusive straits following the precedent set by it reportedly paying Iran for transit
through the Strait of Hormuz if Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore impose such a system at the US' behest. They're all very close to the US – Indonesia after its new military deal, Malaysia
through last year's military and trade deals, and Singapore is its traditional regional partner – so they're unlikely to refuse.
Had China's main Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) corridors across Eurasia been fully built and implemented to their expected scale, then China would have been less susceptible to the US Navy's
blackmail, but the US masterfully subverted them through Hybrid Warfare. The Eurasian Land Bridge across Russia became financially unviable due to the threat of arbitrarily imposed US secondary
sanctions scaring away many Chinese companies. The EU's complementary anti-Russian sanctions further reduced its attractiveness.
The China-Central Asia-West Asia Corridor that was supposed to link China and Iran across Central Asia never really took off either, mostly owing to the arbitrarily imposed US secondary sanctions
against Iran doing the same with many Chinese companies as the ones against Russia did. As for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which was supposed to be BRI's flagship, endemic
corruption and the ruling Pakistani elite's (especially its military's) preference for the US hamstrung this megaproject from the get-go.
The Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar corridor was also hamstrung from the get-go due to India's unwillingness to participate due to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor transiting through the
Pakistani-controlled part of Kashmir that India claims as its own. China and India also have unresolved border disputes, including in the region of Northeast India through which this corridor would
transit, thus making it even more politically difficult for India to ever agree to this proposal.
Replicating, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore ,Myanmar and the Panama Canal, China's strategic predicament that left it extremely vulnerable to the US Navy's blackmail predates Iran's tollbooth
since it stems from the US' successful Hybrid War on BRI from 2013 till today, but it was the aforesaid move which accelerated the US plans and made them unambiguous. China is now truly in a
zugzwang since any of the moves that it's now inadvertently been forced by Iran to make are all bad. This raises serious concern about the future of the emerging multipolar world order.
The United States has lost its capacity to establish order and manage crises in the homeland cannot maintain cannot be associated with the concept of universal "peace."
With billions of dollars in interest payments every day, it has become a tangible burden that erodes military capacity, diplomatic maneuver, and strategic flexibility. This dynamic is central to
understanding the historical fate of empires and constitutes a direct confirmation of historian Paul Kennedy's "imperial overstretch" thesis. As Kennedy argued, when the balance between military
and geopolitical obligations and an economy's productive capacity breaks down, great powers inevitably enter a process of decline. The United States has crossed precisely this threshold. Full

Has Trump commited High Treason
May 28, 2026 — In the oath of office taken in the swearing in of a president, the about-to-be-president swears
allegiance to the US Constitution and promises to defend it against enemies at home and abroad. In other words, enemies of the Constitution are enemies of the United States. (Today the
Constitution's enemies includes university law schools in the United States.)
This puts Trump at odds with his vow to protect the US Constitution and invalidates his swearing-in as president of the United States. Trump has issued an edict that his obliging attorney general
has accepted that subordinates the US Constitution to Israel. Notice that according to Trump's attorney general "upholding civil rights" means deep-sixing the First Amendment that protects US Citizens' free speach rights guaranteed by the
US Constitution.
If you asked what is the United States, some would say it is an idea; others would say it is a geographical territory. But these definitions apply to all countries and thus define none. The
correct answer is that the United States is the Constitution.
The Constitution defines the form of government, the powers of the various branches, the distribution of powers between state governments and the federal government, the rights of citizens and
the protection of those rights, and it defines the process of changing the Constitution, that is, of changing the United States. Without the Constitution the United States would be a different
country.
It is not an election that makes a person the president. It is the person's vow to defend the United States by defending the Constitution. If an elected president refused the vow at the swearing in
ceremony, he could not be confirmed in office as president. When a president-to-be swears an oath to the Constitution he swears an oath to the United States.
The most important parts of the Constitution are the Amendments, the Bill of Rights that had to be incorporated into the Constitution in order to gain its acceptance by all of the founding states.
The Bill of Rights protects the citizens from government limiting their rights and committing violence or retribution against them for actions protected by the Constitution.
The principle right is free speech. It is the First Amendment, because without free speech it is impossible for citizens to hold government accountable for violation of the other protections from, and
limits on, government power.
Trump's affinity for Zionist Israel has led him into an act that violates his oath of office and possibly caused him to commit high treason against the United States.
Trump has created by executive order what in effect is a Sedition Act for Israel that prohibits United States citizens from using their First Amendment right to criticize Israel for the genocide of
Palestine, the rape and torture of Palestinian prisoners, the destruction of Palestinian homes, villages, and olive groves by Israeli settlers who blatantly steal Palestinian land, assassinations of
foreign leaders, undue influence over the US legislative and executive branches, state governments, media, finance, and education, and wars of aggression against Middle Eastern countries. US
critics of Israel are not even permitted to complain about the Jewish Anti-defamation League's slander, libel and defamation of them. For an American to complain of being defamed by Zionists is
to risk punishment for anti-semitism.
To state it plainly, Trump and his acting attorney general have given priority to protecting Israel, a foreign government, over the First Amendment rights of US citizens. Clearly, this means that
Trump and his accommodating acting attorney general are serving a foreign interest by suspending without any right or authority to do so, the First Amendment rights guaranteed to US citizens by
the US Constitution.
On May 19, the acting Attorney General of the United States issued this statement:
"President Trump has made clear that this administration will not tolerate antisemitism [defined as any criticism of Israel and Jews], and the Department of Justice is committed to implement that
directive. This national tour is an important step in ensuring communities across the country know the federal government stands ready to work with them to confront antisemitic threats, protect
public safety, and uphold civil rights."
As Trump and his attorney general have come out against the First Amendment, they have come out against the US Constiution and, thereby, against the United States. In other words, both seem
to be guilty of high treason.
For Trump and his attorney general to rule for Israel against American citizen's First Amendment rights and the US Constitution that protects these rights calls into question who Trump and his
attorney general represent.
It seems certain the President Trump's willingness to sacrifice the US Constitution to protecting Israel from words of criticism indicates that he has committed high treason in order to serve foreign
interests, which would seem to make Trump an enemy of the US Constitution and thereby an enemy of the United States.
If my reasoning is correct, why shouldn't President Trump be arrested and put on trial for high treason against the United States?
Why did not Trump's acting attorney general, who happens to be Trump's personal defense attorney, warn Trump that he was stepping onto treasonous ground? Is a person who aids and abets the
president in the possible commission of high treason fit to be attorney general of the United States? Full story: paulcraigroberts.org
Endless Common Dreams: Trump, Israel and the USA
Ben-Gvir's remarks came as Trump engaged in what he has suggested was another promising round of ceasefire talks
with the Iranians?talks that did not include Israel. Despite its foreign ministry condemning recent US attacks as signs of "bad faith" and "definitive violations" of the ceasefire on Tuesday, Iran has
not yet pulled away from the table.
Citing Iranian state TV, Reuters reported on Wednesday that Tehran has received an unofficial framework from the US that would restore commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to
pre-war levels for a month in exchange for the US withdrawing troops from Iran's vicinity and lifting its naval blockade. The US has disputed this account. Trump has previously attempted to force
Iran to accept major concessions on its nuclear program upfront, but nuclear-related talks appear to have been shifted to future negotiations. While it has not been at the center of the latest round
of negotiations, Iran still considers ending Israel's assault on Lebanon to be an essential part of a durable peace.
As it has during previous peace negotiations between Iran and the US, Israel launched another major bombardment against Lebanon on Tuesday, violating the 45-day ceasefire that went into effect
last month. Israeli forces conducted more than 120 airstrikes across southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa Valley against what they said were Hezbollah targets, according to The Guardian, as Netanyahu said Israel would "intensify" its military campaign.
According to Lebanon's health ministry, 31 people were killed, and 40 were wounded. In the southern town of Burj – al-Shamali, 14 people were killed, including two children and three
women, including two children and three women, the ministry said.
Since Israel's offensive began in early March, more than 3,200 people have been killed and over 9,700 wounded, according to the ministry. More than 600 people have been killed since the April
truce began.
Sources also told Reuters that Israel had expanded its occupation of southern Lebanon, past its so-called "security zone." Israeli forces ordered the residents of dozens of Lebanese villages not to
return to their homes in the occupation zone, which Israel is trying to expand to between 5 and 10 kilometers inside Lebanon.
In what Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has described as a renewal of its "Gaza model," Israel had demolished or damaged more than 40,000 homes in southern Lebanon before last
month's truce went into effect, though destruction has continued since then. More than 1 million people in Lebanon have been displaced as a result of forced evacuation orders and bombardments
by Israel.
Hezbollah has responded on Tuesday with drone attacks on Israel, which it had already been launching for weeks in response to what it said were persistent ceasefire violations.
Another far-right Israeli Cabinet member, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, said Israel should respond to each drone by destroying 10 buildings in Beirut. If there are no buildings left in
Beirut, he said, Israel should expand the demolitions to other areas such as Tyre, Sidon, and the Bekaa Valley.
Ben-Gvir, meanwhile, said on Tuesday that Israel should "cut off the electricity in Lebanon," "occupy" the area up to the Zahrani River, and "return to a massive war."
The timing of Israel's renewed assault on Lebanon has been met with accusations that it is attempting to sabotage ceasefire talks between the US and Iran.
Shaiel Ben-Ephraim, a former diplomat with the Israeli Foreign Ministry who has since become a prominent critic of the country, said that by moving deeper into Lebanon, Israel was
"moving to bury not only the supposed ceasefire in Lebanon but also talks on Iran" because its policy "is an endless and wide regional war."
Responding to Ben-Gvir's remarks, he said, "Israel forced the US into war and won't let us end it." Full story: x.com;
