Kagro in the Morning - August 15, 2025

David Waldman delivers us to another end of another week before Donald sells Vladimir Friday.

Folks with oceanfront properties around Odessa and Juneau better start packing. Donald K. Trump is up north and in an Art of the Deal mood with some picky customers today, including Co-President Vlad Putin, and is itching to swap some land and lives for a Nobel prize.

Donald loves free gold flattery, and he’s not too proud to beg for it. Hey, who does Trump have to blow up for a peace prize around here? After she wins one, Hillary Clinton will let Donald look at hers. (From a distance.)

While various Trump screwballs hog the spotlight, Kari Lake has been quietly amassing criminal violations. Honest, officers, she IS the acting overseer of Voice of America! Paperwork, man! Former Trump lawyer Abbe Lowell brings experience to Letitia James and Hunter Biden. One way or another Letitia James is going to jail. Judge Jeb Boasberg will regret privately hinting that there might be a concern that something could ever be illegal.

Paperwork does often disagree with Trump, but it is numbers that are his true enemy. Out goes the 6th IRS commissioner in seven months... but who’s counting? (If they want to keep their job.) People who do persist in using numbers can’t see Trump’s economic miracle happening right around them. Soon, all companies will be Trump.
