    Trump Awakes to Devastating News of his own Making

    To paraphrase MAGA Sen. Kennedy, Trump’s economy is as “dead as fried chicken,” as the new job numbers hit today showing that Trump LOST 100,000 jobs in February alone, including in construction and factory workers, on top of 70,000 lost in December and January, and the financial markets tumble in the face of the Iranian War Trump started and its devastating impact on oil, gas and energy prices. Popok puts on his Wall Street hat and provides the report. 120 Life: Go to https://120Life.com - and use my code LEGALAF for 20% off Subscribe:  @LegalAFMTN  Visit https://meidasplus.com for more!

    Trump DOJ Makes Urgent Move Before Losing All Licenses

    The Trump Administration and especially AG Pam Bondi, especially after Kristie Noem’s firing, are trying to prevent state bar regulators from taking away the law licenses of Trump lawyers, like Bondi, and have secretly published a new proposed rule that would allow the DOJ to investigate its OWN lawyers and sideline bar regulators from going after their licenses, perhaps indefinitely. Popok reports on The Florida Bar opening an investigation against a senior former DOJ Trump prosecutor—Lindsey Halligan— and why this is keeping Pam Bondi, a fellow Florida bar member, up at night.

    Trump White House in Tailspin as SCOTUS Dooms Term

    Popok explains that the Trump administration continues to steal America’s money by refusing to dip into the $800 billion treasury department surplus to immediately pay back $140 billion in phony tariff tax dollars that they stole. And they’re trying to make Americans and their businesses jump through hoops maybe lasting up to seven years to get the refunds. That’s why Senate democrats are coming to the rescue to pass new legislation to force those refunds within the next 90 days and quash Trump‘s temper tantrum to punish the American people because he lost the Supreme Court.

    Wow: Top Trump Loyalist Suddenly Quits as Spy Fears Erupt

    Trump isn’t just weaponizing the DOJ, he’s dome the same at the Treasury Department, and now a senior leader and huge Trump donor who has objected to massive spying by Treasury on the American people has quit, calling attention to the use of “Geographic Target Orders” by Treasury in violation of the 4th Amendment. Popok explains that the spying scandal coming to light may explain why Trump was so hot and bothered about “Somali fraud” during the SOTU.
