I spoke with Senator Adam Schiff again this week, and he made one thing crystal clear: Donald Trump is running this country like one of his failed businesses—erratic, reckless, and headed straight for disaster.
“One thing businesses will consistently tell you is what they need most from the government is certainty, stability—not chaos.” Schiff said. “And what Donald Trump is doing with these on-again, off-again tariffs is just creating turmoil.” Farmers in the Central Valley are still trying to recover from the economic damage Trump caused during his first term, and now he’s doing it all over again. He imposes tariffs, the markets tank, he panics and pulls back, then does it again. It’s the kind of instability that wrecks economies—and the only people profiting are foreign adversaries and Trump’s billionaire donors.
And speaking of Trump’s billionaire cronies—his latest idea? Selling U.S. citizenship via a Trump Gold Card to Russian and Chinese oligarchs for $5 million a pop. Schiff didn’t mince words: “Nothing really matters to Donald Trump except bringing in cash for himself or his cronies.” And that’s why he’s selling out Ukraine, using a brutal war as leverage for personal profit, while telling the world America is up for sale.
But Trump’s cruelty doesn’t stop at our allies. He’s also going after veterans—again. He’s slashing tens of thousands of jobs at the VA, gutting services for those who served this country, while his MAGA minions shrug and say, “Whatever happens to them, happens to them.” Schiff called it like it is: “It’s a big middle finger to veterans.”
And why should we be surprised? This is the same man who dodged the draft, mocked John McCain for being a POW, and refused to visit a cemetery in France where U.S. Marines were buried because it was raining. “He didn’t want to mess up that orange bouffant he calls hair,” Schiff said. And now, Trump is making sure the VA is decimated, while attacking the U.S. Postal Service—one of the largest employers of veterans—just to hand over more power to private corporations.
Then there’s NATO. Trump is openly undermining the alliance that has kept America safe for 75 years—repeating Kremlin propaganda verbatim. Schiff was blunt: “You can’t tell when Trump is speaking or when Putin is speaking because it’s the same words that come out.” This isn’t just stupidity—it’s dangerous. Our allies stood with us after 9/11. They fought and died alongside American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. And now, Trump is telling them they can’t count on us.
And what are MAGA Republicans doing while Trump sabotages the economy, betrays veterans, and sides with dictators? Giving him standing ovations. Schiff compared it to something out of North Korea—Republicans looking around, terrified they’re not clapping hard enough for the Dear Leader.
Trump’s message to Americans suffering under his failed leadership? “Have fun.” That’s what he told farmers whose livelihoods he’s destroying. Schiff’s message? Fight back. Call your representatives. Speak out. Don’t let fear keep you silent.
We will always be here to fight for the truth, help expose Trump’s corruption, and hold this disaster of a presidency accountable. Consider joining as a paid subscriber now to keep us going.
