Click here for Heather Cox Richardson's diary entry on Substack for May 11, 2026.
The Trump Mobile scam, launched last June; Trumps fake dominance throughout his career, shielded from his own incompetence in his first term by "Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense James Mattis, who filtered the options Trump received; chief of staff General John Kelly, who made a pact with Mattis that one of them would always stay in the country to stand in the way of Trump’s impulses; and National Economic Council director Gary Cohn, who stopped Trump from signing disastrous executive orders, sometimes going so far as to steal them off his desk"; his out-of-control rants on Truth Social, including raking criticism of his own Supreme Court appointments and threatening them over the birthright citizenship case; "a long screed about the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the 2015 agreement between Iran and the U.S., United Kingdom, China, France, Germany, Russia, and the European Union to limit Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for relief from sanctions. Trump pulled the U.S. out of the JCPOA in 2018, and this weekend Trump rehashed false right-wing talking points about the deal to claim that former president Barack Obama was “a weak and stupid American President” who worked for Iran"; and much more.
