The CEO of Toyota Japan is Akio Toyoda, not Toyota, so Trump is wrong again. Any real POTUS would have gained prior knowledge of the actual name of who he was going to meet.
Well... it's Trump... again. #47, here we go.

The fascist Bag of Dog Shit Bondi tried to charge the democratic lawmakers who produced a video urging the military not to obey illegal orders. An outragious fascist action. Grand Jury says Fuck YOU to Bondi.

The rejection was a remarkable rebuke, suggesting that ordinary citizens did not believe that the lawmakers had committed any crimes.

Two minutes! You couldn’t spent two minutes on Google, could you Dickhead?
Trump - “Well why’d they hire a guy name Toyoda to run a company named Toyota? That’s just confusing.”
Nevermind.

I'd cut him a break on this one. If he called him Akio Hyundai you'd have a point.

Agreed, the issue with his statement is that the conversation, as noted, likely never happened.

I think marble is beautiful but it seems unwise to use it on a floor with lots of people in dress shoes.
On the walls, it looks like they used cheap garden lattice from a garden center.

I would prefer marble on the walls, and something quartz based for the floors.
But then, I don't normally like marble in interior architecture, so what I would prefer here is relative.

House votes to slap back Trump's tariffs on Canada in rare bipartisan rebuke
The House has voted to slap back President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada. The tally offered a rare rebuke of the White House agenda, though it wouldn’t actually undo the tariffs without support from Trump himself, which is highly unlikely.

I'm feeling fatigue about how the "Republicans are starting to stand up to Trump" when we are talking one to six people. Curious if this gets a vote in the Senate.

Riiiight. After all, why should anyone, let alone the POTUS, know who they are speaking to?

Trump's tariffs cost American households $1,000 last year: Research group
President Donald Trump’s tariffs cost the average American household $1,000 last year, according to new research from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation.
The cost is set to go even higher this year to $1,300 per household, assuming the existing tariffs stay in place, the research said.
The research called Trump's tariffs "the largest U.S. tax increase as a percent of GDP since 1993." It suggests the president's signature economic policy is exacerbating cost of living concerns at a time when many households are grappling with persistently high prices.
According to the research think tank Tax Foundation, the federal government collected $264 billion in total tariff revenues in 2025 -- far short of the trillions regularly touted by the White House. The research also finds the tariffs will offset most of the economic benefits of the new tax cuts from Trump's signature tax law that took effect this year.
