Something I Noticed Tonight That Stuck With Me
Tonight I was watching a segment where Gordon Chang was talking about China’s struggling economy — failing banks, unpaid workers, and rising financial pressure. He said the U.S. should push harder right now, take advantage of China’s vulnerability, and he said Trump blinked. If you are in the Cult of these Clowns you ain’t MAGA.
We’re gonna find out soon. LOTS of frauds only with Maga for themselves. Seen it all over the place. The truth is many many on here are not Maga in my view and others view of what Maga is and I think we’re gonna have a problem. Unless people become more like say Trump, Vance, Ramaswamy and less like these assholes.
But as I listened, I couldn’t help but feel that pressing harder — right now, in this moment — would only cause more harm. And honestly, I don’t believe that’s what Donald Trump is doing. From everything I’ve seen and felt over time, I think his approach is different — and intentional.
He’s choosing patience. He’s choosing transparency. He’s giving space — not just to China, but to the entire world — to see the big picture, to take a breath, and to decide how to respond. And that matters.
He’s not hiding anything. In fact, he’s showing everything. That’s rare. And that’s what makes me believe this isn’t about power plays — it’s about giving people, leaders, and even adversaries a chance to do the right thing. It’s leadership through clarity.
And it’s not just China. I see the same strategy with Iran. With Israel. With Russia and Ukraine too. He’s not rushing into something that leads to more bloodshed. He’s giving each side — and the world watching — the opportunity to choose peace, to reveal their true intentions, and to act accordingly.
I know some might mistake that for hesitation. But I see it as wisdom. Because if you push too hard, too fast, people suffer. Workers lose their jobs, families break down, instability spreads — and we’ve seen that pattern too many times.
If I were part of another country’s leadership, I’m not sure I’d trust the U.S. either, given our history. We’ve backed coups, stirred conflicts, and claimed moral ground while leaving destruction behind. But what I see now — in this moment — is something more honest. Trump is holding out olive branches, not rockets. He’s showing the cards, giving people time, offering options.
And here’s what I think will happen: most people, most leaders, eventually will choose the right path. Because the pressure is no longer being applied in secret or through force — it’s happening out in the open.
The only people who won’t like this are the warmongers — and they’re on both sides of the aisle and on every network. They’re still tied to the war machine, still serving the military-industrial complex, still trying to spark conflict because that’s where their money and power live. That’s what drives so much of the noise. But it’s not what’s driving the real leadership I’m seeing.
To me, this moment feels important. And maybe it’ll be overlooked by most people. But I think something meaningful is happening. Something quieter than war, but stronger than fear.
I just wanted to share that
it’s almost amazing how people run from me how people turn from me and on me a few people have seen me for a little bit like on here some of you specifically Mark he gave me money couple times others of you too. I don’t want money but like I have the best nonprofit that I need help with and it’s a pretty great investment I think.
I’m posting this for my dad. For a while this place felt like a safe haven for him, but his brain injury also made it overwhelming. He’s always worn shirts – MAGA, “I Support Elon,” “I Identify as Vaccinated” – anything just to start conversations. That’s really what he wants, to talk to people and feel like he can help.
He feels the pain of people like him: brain injury survivors, disabled, homeless, mentally ill, addicted. Most of the time it’s just been him in a trailer or hotel room. When he called people and used awful words, it wasn’t to hurt them—it was trying to get them to see the pain their actions cause to the most vulnerable, not just him. He just wanted them to stop.
He’s never threatened anyone. But they’ve moved his case from OC to LA to SF, digging through his phone, and now his health is collapsing. We’re scared. We’re trying to get his Hope After Stroke dream going, but right now he needs a safe place to live and legal help from someone who ...
