'Under pressure' Trump spotted 'freezing' up in Netanyahu meeting

An "under pressure" Donald Trump was spotted "freezing" up in a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Body language expert Judi James, speaking to The Mirror US, believes the encounter at Mar-a-Lago had an unexpected pause that caught Trump and Netanyahu off guard. Trump was spotted freezing momentarily as he spoke with Israel's prime minister, which James has suggested is a sign of growing pressure for the president.
"Losing track or 'freezing' mid-flow is a common experience for most people," James said, "especially when they are tired or feeling under pressure, but it will usually come with compensatory signals like a clicking of the fingers or filler noises or winding gestures to fill the gap and explain the search for the right word, but there are no signs of any of these from Trump here."
James went on to suggest that Trump was not pausing to think about what he wanted to say, but had frozen up. The difference, she said, comes from how Trump speaks in meetings, with a "stream-of-consciousness style with few, if any, moments of showing he's evaluating the wisdom of speaking out of turn."
The "freezing" could be because Trump was unaware that Netanyahu or his team were listening to him, and James suggested Trump was "distracted by the lack of active listening signals from the other side of the table, plus one 'soft power' ritual that a lot of hosts do have a problem with."

https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/all-hat-no-cattle-after-big-talk-dallas-gop-drops-ballot-hand-count-plans/
When Dallas County Republicans announced they would hand count every ballot cast in the upcoming GOP primary election in March, state party chairman Allen West described the effort as a “highly visible initiative to restore confidence in an electoral process.”
“Not only are the eyes of Texas upon us, but the eyes of America,” West said in a social media post earlier this month. The former GOP congressman concluded by quoting Gene Kranz, “a famed Texan” and the NASA flight director who oversaw the moon landing: “failure is not an option.”
On Tuesday, the nation looked on as West admitted that failure was very much an option, announcing that the Dallas County Republican Party (DCRP) will now forgo the hand count.....
When he announced the hand count decision three weeks ago, West said the party had raised $400,000 for the count and had 1,000 volunteers at the ready. But on Tuesday, he cited lingering concerns over staffing, funding, and the logistics of finding enough “additional tables and chairs,” to go through with the laborious undertaking.
Under state law, counties are required to report results within 24 hours of the polls closing — an additional hurdle that a hand count would struggle to clear. .....
“Party can’t even get enough volunteers to hand count it’s [sic] own small, simple ballots. Now imagine trying to hand count more than 50 million ovals, in Dallas County alone, in bipartisan teams,” he wrote. “Sorry guys. It’s not going to happen.”
All Hat, No Cattle: After Big Talk, Dallas GOP Drops Ballot Hand Count Plans
I have been volunteering in voter protection efforts since 2004. I have been an election judge a couple of times and have been a poll watcher at the central counting office. As a favor to the county election administrator, I have been the election judge for the GOP primary in my precinct (gop voters can be assholes and a good number insisted on slowing the process down by using their gun permits to vote instead of driver licenses which can be checked far more quickly). I have been at the certification and testing of voting machines before elections a couple of time (a very boring job). Counting ballots by hand is just plain crazy. I was amused to see the Dallas GOP assholes claim that they were going to hand count ballots and I was not surprised to see these assholes back down

Kennedy Center changed board rules months before vote to add Trump's name
The new rules say only trustees appointed by the president can vote, barring other members, including Democrats who hold seats, from decisions. The center said the change reflects “longstanding precedent.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/2025/12/31/kennedy-center-board-trustees-bylaws
The Kennedy Center adopted bylaws earlier this year that limited voting to presidentially appointed trustees, a move that preceded a unanimous decision this month by board members installed by President Donald Trump to add his name to the center.
The current bylaws, obtained by The Washington Post, were revised in May to specify that board members designated by Congress — known as ex officio members — could not vote or count toward a quorum. Legal experts say the move may conflict with the institution’s charter.
Trump took over the Kennedy Center in February, purging its board of members he had not appointed. The months that followed saw struggling ticket sales and programming changes that began to align the arts complex with the Trump administration’s broader cultural aims, culminating with the annual Kennedy Center Honors hosted by the president.
Days later, on Dec. 18, the board voted to add the president’s name to the institution, and within 24 hours it was on the website and the building itself: “The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”....
The federal law that established the Kennedy Center designates specific government and federal positions — including the librarian of Congress; the mayor of Washington, D.C.; the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution; and the majority and minority leaders of the Senate — to serve as ex officio members.
The law identifies them as part of the board of trustees, which it directs to maintain and administer the facility as a living memorial. But it does not distinguish between voting and nonvoting members, which has been a point of ambiguity in the days following the vote to rename the Kennedy Center......
Beatty, who sued the Kennedy Center’s board of trustees Dec. 22 to stop it from adding Trump’s name to the institution, declined to comment for this story. But her lawsuit argues the center’s statute makes her a “a full voting member.”......
Roger Colinvaux, a law professor at Catholic University, said his read of the statue establishing the center was “not quite as demonstrative” as Beatty’s, but “I’d argue that the statute does not differentiate among types of trustees in terms of powers and obligations, which would include voting.”
Colinvaux added that “basic governance principles” “do not allow for the ‘muting’ of members” of an entity’s governing body, which is a “deliberative body.”

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-wastes-little-time-embracing-putins-latest-dubious-claim
Diplomatic efforts to resolve Russia’s war in Ukraine were made complex this week when Vladimir Putin alleged that his rural home had been targeted by a failed Ukrainian drone attack. Russia offered no evidence to substantiate the claims, and as The New York Times reported, Ukraine strenuously denied that such an operation took place:
The Ukrainian president added that Russia fabricated the attack in part to “justify additional attacks against Ukraine.”
Donald Trump, however, apparently accepted Putin’s claims at face value.....
In case that weren’t quite enough, moments later, Trump told the reporter who asked the question, “I mean, you’re saying maybe the attack didn’t take place. It’s possible, too, I guess, but President Putin told me this morning it did.”
The comments reflected a simple truth that too often goes unmentioned: Trump simply trusts Putin. The Republican has never explained why, but the Russian leader has the American president’s ear, and Trump appears eager to accept Putin’s claims at face value — despite everything he really ought to know about the former KGB agent’s record and obvious lack of credibility.
Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, who has consistently been critical of the White House’s weakness toward Moscow, wrote via social media, “President Trump and his team should get the facts first before assuming blame. Putin is a well-known boldface liar.”
The fact that Trump will likely ignore the retiring congressman’s good advice speaks volumes.
Ukraine immediately denied any such attack, accusing the Kremlin of inventing a pretext to undermine the peace talks being orchestrated by the Trump administration. President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, who met with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Sunday to discuss a possible deal, called the Russian allegation a ‘complete fabrication.’

MaddowBlog-The more Trump focuses on electricity prices, the more rising costs matter
As electricity costs climb, Trump could try to avoid blame for the problem. He prefers to push an alternate reality in which the problem doesn’t exist.

I continue to believe there’s a qualitative difference between regular ol’ lying and self-defeating lying. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/the-more-trump-focuses-on-electricity-prices-the-more-rising-costs-matter
As the editorial board of The New York Times recently explained, “Electricity prices are almost 10 percent higher than they were a year earlier, according to the most recent numbers.”
The editorial conceded that multiple factors have contributed to the rising costs, but the Times’ editors added that the Republican administration’s energy policies “are not helping — and will soon make matters worse.”
A new report in The Wall Street Journal pointed in the same direction.
.....The curious thing about these developments is that Trump could plausibly explain why rising electricity prices are not entirely his fault. But instead of making the case to the public about why he doesn’t bear full responsibility for the problem, the president has decided to manufacture an alternate reality in which the problem doesn’t exist, and electricity costs are “way down.”
That the president is the nation’s most prolific liar is nothing new, but I continue to believe there’s a qualitative difference between regular ol’ lying and self-defeating lying. Often, when Trump peddles nonsense, the American mainstream isn’t immediately sure what to believe, and it falls to media fact-checkers to offer the public guidance on what’s true and what’s not.
But when the president tells Americans that electricity prices are “coming down … beautifully,” no one needs a fact-checker; they just need a bill from their local power company.

Most Americans are paying more for electricity — and need to prepare their wallets for further pain ahead.
Data centers are getting much of the blame lately for rising power costs, but they aren’t the only catalyst and don’t always cause increases. The reasons our bills are rising are complex and varied. Hurricanes, wildfires, state renewable-energy plans and the replacement of aging or damaged grid equipment are all playing a role.

MaddowBlog-Trump confirms U.S. strike in Venezuela in the clumsiest possible way
Did the president boast about a foreign strike that didn’t happen, or did he disclose a strike he wasn’t supposed to talk about? Now we know the answer.
The pattern is eclipsed by countless other scandals, but it’s easy to imagine a world in which Trump is best known for blurting out sensitive national security information.

https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/trump-confirms-u-s-strike-in-venezuela-in-the-clumsiest-possible-way
While The New York Times and CNN reported that it was the CIA that struck a port facility in Venezuela last week — reporting that has not been independently verified by MS NOW — Trump personally confirmed much of what happened during a brief Q&A with reporters at Mar-a-Lago, though he did so in the clumsiest way possible.
“There was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs,” he said. “They load the boats up with drugs. So we hit all the boats, and now we hit the area. It’s the implementation area; that’s where they implement. And that is no longer around.”
Asked whether the U.S. military was responsible for the operation, Trump said: “It doesn’t matter.”
....Indeed, this keeps happening. In October, the Times reported that the president had “secretly authorized” the CIA to conduct covert action in Venezuela. And just hours after the article reached the public, Trump confirmed the whole story.
NBC News reported at the time, “The CIA’s operations abroad are usually shrouded in secrecy, but President Donald Trump said Wednesday he had authorized it to take unspecified action in Venezuela, an extraordinary and unprecedented acknowledgment from a commander in chief.”
Two months later, these extraordinary and unprecedented acknowledgments are still happening.
Trump has a scandalous record of blurting out sensitive national security secrets for no apparent reason. The fact that he keeps adding to the list is extraordinary.

Those same voters have fresh reason to regret their choice. The Washington Post reported:
If this sounds at all familiar, it’s probably because Trump’s Education Department first started talking about garnishing borrowers’ wages back in May. Now, the Republican administration is moving forward with implementing these plans.
A report in The New York Times added, “The announcement comes as many Americans are already struggling financially, and the cost of living is top of mind. The wage garnishing could compound the effects on lower-income families contending with a stressed economy, employment concerns and health care premiums that are set to rise for millions of people.”
This news also comes just weeks after Trump’s Education Department also effectively scrapped the Biden-era Saving on a Valuable Education repayment plan, or SAVE, for student loan borrowers.
Evidently, when the president told student loan borrowers to expect “action” from the Trump administration, this is what he and his team had in mind. Whether younger voters were aware of this when casting their ballots last fall is unclear.
The Trump administration will begin seizing the pay of people in default on their student loans early next year, marking the first wave of new wage garnishments since the pandemic, the Education Department confirmed Monday.
Starting the week of Jan. 7, the department told The Washington Post, it will notify about 1,000 defaulted borrowers of plans to withhold a portion of their wages to pay down their past-due debt. After that, the department said, notices will be sent to larger numbers of borrowers each month.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a bold move to staunch the exodus of audiences from his renamed Kennedy Center, on Thursday Donald J. Trump announced that he was cutting ticket prices 5000 percent.
Trump announced the discount while wearing a sandwich board outside the once-fabled performing arts venue.
“Affordability is a Democrat hoax,” he told passersby. “Tickets to the Trump Kennedy Center have never been cheaper. In fact, we’re paying people to go.”
In what some observers called an act of desperation, Trump offered Venezuelan drug traffickers U.S. citizenship to become seat fillers.
