Guest Post: The Herald’s $50 Billion Lie

A Guest Post by Danny Bright on GoodOil.

I opened the Herald online to find this headline:

“Donors to Trump’s ballroom project win billions of dollars in contracts, watchdog finds”

That certainly looks very much like exposure of corruption in high places and further confirmation that the man in the US White House isn’t fit to hold the office.

Brendan O'Neill: Anti-Trump catastrophism is the real menace to the West

The cultural elite’s dream of an American defeat in Iran scares me far more than Trump’s premature claims of victory.

Snark really is all that President Trump’s critics have left. They greet his every utterance, whether made in the flesh or on Truth Social, with instant sarcastic derision. Their cliquish cynicism was on full display during Trump’s address to the nation on the Iran War last night. No sooner had Trump said the US was nearing victory than his opposing army of nay-sayers was gleefully crowing: ‘Nah, it’s a disaster, we’re screwed.’

I can’t be the only person who now finds this voguish gloom more grating than Trump’s starry-eyed statements? Give me Trump’s possibly premature declarations of victory over these wet dreams of defeat any day of the week.
