Figuring out what Donald T**** is all about isn’t hard. You begin by assuming that if his lips are moving, he’s lying. So if you want to know what’s going on with him. don’t pay attention to what he says. Rather, you watch, wait, and see what happens. See what he does or doesn’t do.
For starters we can go back to his 2024 campaign. He pitched himself as the “peace president.” Among other things, Donald assured the public that he could end the Ukraine war on day one.
He has talked to Putin and Zelenskyy. Over and over again. There have been any number of proposals. But more than a year and a half later that war just drags on. So did he really have a plan to stop the war?
The answer clearly is no. Those who voted for him were deceived. He was lying and he knew it. You just have to watch, wait, and see.
T**** also campaigned on lowering the cost of living. Prices would come down immediately, he promised. Yet the cost of groceries, electricity, housing and medical care are all higher now than a year before he took office. T****’s on-again off-again tariff madness has increased the cost of virtually all imported consumer goods from steel to avocados.
For years T**** maintained the myth that the importing countries pay tariffs. But he knew that wasn’t true. He was lying about that, and now we’re paying for it.
Was Donald able to bring down prices immediately? Forget about what he said he would do. Remember, his lips were moving. So no. Did he even try? No. Did he know he couldn’t? Of course.
Donald promised there would be no cuts in Medicare and Medicaid, But he was lying, that was also part of his plan. We know this because these were all included in his “big beautiful bill.”
Donald also pledged to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits. But that was just a lie. His 2025 law did not end those taxes. Rather, it created a temporary extra deduction for some people over 60. Again, T**** will say anything. You just have to wait, watch what happens and what he does or doesn’t do.
Another case in point: the infamous Epstein files. The question is, did he ever want them made pubic? Remember that during his 2024 campaign he promised over and over again he would.
But did he really want to? Well, when Congress passed a bill ordering them to be released, he signed it. But only about half were released, heavily redacted. Did he direct his Department of Justice to obey the law? No, he did not. Clearly, he never meant to.
Since then he’s been doing his best to make the issue go away. So in spite of that promise—and that law—did Donald T**** ever really want the Epstein Files to come out?
When you look at what he said, what he did and didn’t do, the answer is clearly, no.
A more recent example is the case of the USS Abraham Lincoln. He publicly dismissed all the accounts of problems from the ship’s crew, and claimed there was nothing wrong with the ship or its 9-month deployment. But he knew all along the ship was a mess and pulled it off the line as fast as he could replace it. Decoding Donald here was fairly simple. We know what he said, then saw what he did.
Here’s another example. In spite of all reports to the contrary, he claims the U.S. still has a huge stockpile of expensive, high-tech weapons. And then he cuts short the long-planned live-fire military exercises with South Korea.
He says it’s because S. Korea won’t back our play with Iran. But remember, Donald is a liar. He knows we’re pitifully short of high-priced ammo. And so he acted exactly as he should to conserve it.
Gong back to his campaign, this ability to decode Donald is obvious when you look at his promise to be the peace president and he pledged not to start any new wars. But he went right ahead and did it, anyway. Did he know he was lying when he said he wouldn’t. Of course. How could we tell? His lips were moving and what he did proves it.
And he keeps on lying about this war. For example, it’s hard to count how many times he’s claimed that Iran’s military has been “obliterated” or how much Iran wants to make a “deal.” But none of this is true because it hasn’t and they don’t and he knows it.
T**** even maintains the U.S. has control over the Strait of Hormuz. But Iran has virtually total control over which ships move through the Strait.. Donald knows we don’t control the Strait and we can tell that because of what he’s done to keep it open. Which is nothing.
He even declared that the Strait is U.S. territory, which he proved by displaying a big map with a circle on it. Donald knows that he can’t just make things like that happen by saying so because none of his similar claims about Canada, Greenland, Venezuela and Cuba have happened, either. So again, pay attention not to what he says, but what has happened. Which in all these cases, is, nothing.
Will Donald ultimately give up on the war? He’s already done it. Because in spite of claiming a military victory over an enemy—which is what he’s been saying all along—he has changed his tune and chosen a new objective. Now says he’s going to impose catastrophic “economic consequences” on Iran and countries that do business with Iran.
Leastways, that’s what he says. But remember, Donald’s made similar vows before and none of them have happened yet. So it’s it’s pretty sure he already knows his catastrophic consequences won’t happen now, either. Remember, don’t pay attention to what he says. Watch and see what happens. Or doesn’t.
As of this writing, we will have to wait to see the endgame on this one. But for those who dabble in the prediction markets, it should be pretty clear where the smart money should be going.
Because decoding Donald is not brain surgery. Pay no attention to what he says, which is virtually always a lie. So at the risk of repeating myself, watch what happens. Watch what he actually does.
Or doesn’t do.
