Trump’s D.C. Gambit and Refugee Shift

Trump’s furious over Janeese Lewis George’s lead in D.C. mayor race, threatening to invoke the Home Rule Act—despite it being designed for emergencies—not because of any crisis, but because he dislikes her progressive policies. This underscores D.C.’s deeper problem: residents pay federal taxes and serve in the military yet can’t elect their own leaders without federal interference, fueling calls for statehood. Meanwhile, Trump’s $60M birthday cage fight—staffed by seven federal agencies and the Secret Service—is being slammed as a misuse of taxpayer money for private spectacle. Inside his orbit, chaos reigns: his January 6 reparations fund shut down, key candidates losing primaries, and his agenda stalled as allies look for scapegoats. And in a bizarre twist, the U.S. has admitted nearly all White refugees in the past six months, spending $100M to fight a supposed “white genocide” in South Africa—while only a few Afghans have been accepted since October.
