Ten years ago, Trump last told the truth: "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters“ (01/24/2016 Iowa)

An overlooked positive side effect of the Serbian parliamentary election today is that Ivica Dačić, the former spokesman of Slobodan Milošević’s Socialist Party of Serbia, appears to have been voted out of parliament, along with his party. One of the darkest figures in Serbian history is thus leaving the stage, hopefully for good.
Lula gewinnt Stichwahl gegen Bolsonaro. Vucic in Belgrad weggefegt, die Studentenbewegung (@studentblokade) hat, wenn bestätigt, mit den Themen Rechtstaatlichkeit und Korruptionsbekämpfung eine absolute Mehrheit im serbischen Parlament gewonnen. Macht Hoffnug
🇷🇸 Serbia’s FAST!
People have started TEARING DOWN Vučić billboards after the student-backed opposition’s historic victory, while crowds continue celebrating across Belgrade.
Vučić has already conceded defeat after more than a decade dominating Serbian politics.
That is the kind of image elections rarely give you:
not just a government losing power, but its face literally coming off the walls.

Döllner (Chef Audi) hätte den Termin mit Trump nicht wahrnehmen dürfen.
Er hatte eine Selbstverpflichtung unterschrieben, in der er sich verpflichtete drei Monate vor Wahlen nicht für eine Partei zu agieren.
Die Fabrik selbst hat noch nicht die Genehmigung des Aufsichtsrats.

Ach da schau her. Wer hätte das auch ahnen können? Wer jetzt immer noch nicht kapiert hat, daß die AfD Aussen-, Sicherheits-, und Verteidigungspolitisch nicht nur ein Totalausfall, sondern dazu auch noch brandgefährlich für Deutschland ist, dem ist wirklich nicht mehr zu helfen!
Wenn eine französische Regierung sparen will, brennt das Land. Das war schon immer so. Das Spiel kann nicht mehr lange so weitergehen. Alleine 90 Milliarden € Schuldendienst im kommenden Jahr
Many don’t yet grasp the seriousness of the French crisis. Markets have priced French debt as junk. The 10-year spread over German bunds has blown out to 174 bp, wider than Italy, Greece or Portugal, despite France’s AA-range S&P rating. The market concludes France’s fiscal arithmetic is broken and politically unfixable.
Public spending remains among the highest in the developed world (57% of GDP), an absurd tax burden already crushes growth potential, and the political system is paralyzed. Meaningful reforms have been impossible for years. When governments try, the unions and street response is rapid and often violent. Recent riots made the constraint explicit, any serious attempt to cut spending or raise the retirement age risks further unrest that damages business confidence, tourism and tax revenues. The short-term fiscal hit is already visible, the longer-term confidence channel is worse.
Higher borrowing costs compound the problem. Interest spending is set to exceed €90 billion next year, more than the defence or education budgets, and will keep rising as debt is refinanced at these spreads. That interest bill more than offsets any modest consolidation that might be legislated, widening the deficit and accelerating the debt-to-GDP ratio already near 120%. A ratings downgrade, which markets clearly anticipate, would raise funding costs for French banks, tightening credit, slowing growth and eroding tax revenues even further. That is the classic doom loop: higher yields → larger deficit → weaker growth and banks → even higher yields.
Rating agencies lag markets but will eventually follow the pricing. France lacks a governing majority capable of sustained fiscal adjustment without triggering further social paralysis and unrest. Until that changes, the market correctly treats French sovereign debt as much higher risk than its official rating implies. It is really difficult to imagine a scenario where France gets its act together and avoids a debt crisis taking down the entire eurozone with it. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

🚨 BREAKING:
El-Sayed commented on Trump posting a photo of himself and his wife at a restaurant with the caption "Two very different Americas": "He's right. One is run by two people who don't like each other but agreed to make billions of dollars off you, or two people who genuinely love each other and enjoy eating pancakes together..."

This Forbes investigation is a must-read.
Donald Trump pulled in roughly $1.4 billion from crypto in 2025, plus more than $200 million from real estate, and faced a projected tax bill north of $500 million. So his company donated the "development rights" to his Jupiter, Florida golf course to a land trust, argued the course was a natural habitat worth protecting, and kept right on running the club. Forbes estimates the write-off could land around $825 million.
He has done this at least five times since 2005. New York's attorney general alleged two of those appraisals were inflated. In Doral, he claimed a deduction of up to $323 million, more than double what he paid for the entire resort.
A month after the Jupiter deal, he sued the IRS. The settlement his own Justice Department signed bars claims against him over matters that "could be pending," language that appears broad enough to cover this year's taxes. A federal judge found the case was brought to manipulate the judicial process. And the man now running the IRS, who took the job as this deal was being assembled, has a home backing onto those same Jupiter fairways.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody should be able to use the presidency to write his own tax bill.

Wüsste gerne, wie sich Berlins angehende Koalitionspartner zu dieser Kollision mit der Realität äußern?
Good Morning from Germany, where one of Europe’s biggest landlords calls the country “uninvestable.” Heimstaden is withholding fresh capital over Berlin’s expropriation plans. It owns 20,000 apartments in the city worth ~€5bn and estimates a potential €1bn loss. Its hybrid bond has plunged from ~98 cents in August to 82.5. The irony: a policy meant to tackle the housing shortage risks driving away investment without building a single new home. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Die Trump-Kleptokratie
Charles Kushner, Jared’s father, pleaded guilty to 18 counts of tax evasion and witness tampering. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, filmed it, sent the tape to his sister. Trump pardoned him and made him ambassador to France and Monaco.

Welker to Lavrov: "Here are the facts. Nearly 50,000 civilians have been killed or wounded in this war. Russia has bombed maternity wards, churches, schools, hospitals, and a kindergarten just this week. So either the Russian military lacks precision, or you're targeting civilians. Which is it?"

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

BREAKING: Trump has just preemptively filed a lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska's US Senate election if the Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan loses.
It’s happening folks! Trump is once again trying to overturn the results of an election before it even takes place.
