Trump Perfumes And Colognes Reactions
In a recent post on Truth Social, the president announced Trump Fragrances, including Victory 45-47. Forget about possible ethics violations — this is "all about Winning, Strength, and Success."
Naturally, I headed over to the website, where I saw the Fight Fight Fight perfume/cologne for $199 and the Victory 45-47 perfume/cologne for $249. What a steal!
When I clicked on the Victory 45-47 perfume to find more information about the scent — floral, fruity, woodsy, etc. — I couldn't find anything beyond "captures confidence, beauty, and unstoppable determination." Even if customers don't know what the hell they're buying, they can rest assured that it's a "sophisticated, subtly feminine scent."
But wait! There's more! If that wasn't enough to convince you, he filmed a short infomercial that looks like it belongs on late-night '90s TV.
Obviously, people had a lot to say about all this:

Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill' Cements GOP Dominance
The passage of the 'Big Beautiful Bill' on Thursday was a moment when President Donald Trump's hold on the Republican Party was tested — and he won. GOP holdouts objected to the trillions of dollars the bill is projected to add to the debt and the cuts to Medicaid and other safety net programs. But in the end, Trump was able to browbeat Republicans into supporting his costly plans to fund long-term tax cuts for the wealthy, more deportations of immigrants and boosting defense spending. Trump's victory further strengthens his power in Washington and clears the way for him to take even more aggressive actions on immigration, trade policy and depart from American tradition to hammer the chair of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell into lowering interest rates, a move that could give the U.S. economy a sugar high of cheap cash. Trump's control over the GOP 'is as close to total as any President has ever had over his own political party,' says Whit Ayres, a long-time Republican pollster. 'It gives him the support of his own legislative caucus for almost anything he wants to do.' Trump plans to sign the bill into law on Friday at 5 p.m. as B-2 bombers jet over the White House during a Fourth of July celebration for military families. 'We'll be signing with those beautiful planes flying right over our heads,' Trump told reporters traveling with him on Air Force One on Thursday evening. In order to get the bill passed, some Republicans broke their promises not to cut Medicaid, other Republicans reneged on pledges to keep down the national debt. In the House, only two Republicans—Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania—ended up voting against Trump's bill. The bill narrowly passed the House 218-214 with all Democrats voting against it. Massie wrote on X that he voted 'no' because 'it will significantly increase U.S. budget deficits in the near term, negatively impacting all Americans through sustained inflation and high interest rates.' The bill barely made it out of the Senate earlier in the week. Republican Senators Susan Collins of Maine, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Thom Tillis of North Carolina voted against Trump's bill forcing Vice President J.D. Vance to cast a tie-breaking vote. Tillis said the Medicaid cuts would be devastating to his state, and, after bucking Trump, said he wouldn't run for reelection. Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri had argued against the cuts to Medicaid but ended up voting 'yes,' and Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, a Republican, had criticized the bill for not cutting enough to offset adding trillions to the debt, but ended up voting for the bill. Now Trump is faced with the daunting task of selling the unpopular bill to the public. Only 29% of voters said they support the bill, according to a Quinnipiac University poll published on June 26, while 55% percent of voters said that they oppose the bill and 16% were unsure. The cuts to social safety net programs and the increase in the deficit could lead to political blowback that helps Democrats take back control of the House in the 2026 mid-term elections. The bill could be a political risk for Trump, says Ayres, if 'a whole lot of Trump supporters lose their health care and get angry about it.'

Trump's remarkable win streak marks a big, beautiful beginning for a historic second term
As you may be able to tell from the Democrats' caterwauling, Thursday's House passage of the Big, Beautiful Bill culminates an epic run of wins for President Donald Trump. First, he took the bold, historic step of ordering a massive bombing raid on Iran's nuclear-enrichment facilities. The Obama-Biden crowd long insisted that the only way to address the mad mullahs' drive to get The Bomb was appeasement — including sending them pallets of currency in convenient denominations. Advertisement Trump flipped off that idiocy (which only promoted Tehran's power) and stared down the kooky right-wing quarters that insisted that confronting Iran would mean the certain death of thousands of American troops and another decades-long 'forever war.' US forces flawlessly carried out Trump's limited, tactical strike on Iran's nuclear facilities — and the commander-in-chief followed up with an immediate push for peace, ending the Israel-Iran war. Prospects for peace across the Middle East are now the brightest they've been in over a century. Advertisement Smaller Trump diplomatic wins range from making Canada drop its planned 'tech tax' on US digital companies to a trade deal with Vietnam that will help reduce our supply-chain dependence on China. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court backed up the president on multiple key fronts, including his deportation powers — and most crucially by making it clear that activist lower-court federal judges can't routinely impose national injunctions on the executive branch. And CBS parent Paramount has agreed to pay $16 million (as well as airing millions more in public-service announcements) to settle Trump's lawsuit over the scandalous political gaming at '60 Minutes.'

All while the stock market sets new-record highs even as every jobs report comes in stronger that expected, while inflation stays in check despite the doomsaying over Trump's tariffs. Then there's the BBB, the massive budget bill that enacts much of Trump's agenda and prevents a disastrous tax hike that was otherwise baked-in. Advertisement Getting this one passed despite narrow majorities in both House and Senate is a major victory. Yes, we worry about when Washington will tackle its spending problems — and we're heartbroken over the Pentagon's cutoff of key arms to Ukraine. But the president's overall win streak is truly remarkable, and all in less than six months after he re-entered the Oval Office — and not yet a year after that assassin's bullet came centimeters from taking his life. Presidents are usually much weaker in a second term; with this incredible start, Trump looks to be setting yet another new record for success.

The White House's favorite source of pro-Trump news is … the White House's YouTube channel
The most frequently curated content on the White House Wire, the Trump administration's attempt to aggregate pro-Trump 'real news' from across the right-wing media, doesn't come from Truth Social, Breitbart, or even Fox News. It comes from YouTube — notably, from the White House's own channel. The White House Wire was launched at the end of April on the official page, around the time that the Trump comms team began ramping up its war on the mainstream journalists and outlets who covered them critically. At that time, they'd revoked the Associated Press' credentials after the outlet refused to refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the 'Gulf of America.' Two months after its launch, Jim Nielsen, a web developer and founding engineer at the data analytics company Quadratic, ran an analysis on the links that the Trump administration has been selecting to shape their narrative. (Or, as Nielsen put it, 'what kind of links they're considering as 'real news''.) Surprisingly, YouTube was the top linkout, followed by Fox News, The Post Millennial, and Fox Business. Also on the list: social media sites such as (in 6th place) and Trump's own Truth Social (8th place), and one mainstream outlet (Reuters in 7th place.) According to an Axios story written during the launch, the Wire was intended to emulate The Drudge Report, both in layout and in purpose: a regularly-updated page of links to a curated selection of media content, along with headlines that were edited in a way that shaped a pro-Trump narrative. 'It's a place for supporters of the president's agenda to get the real news all in one place in a shareable and readable format,' a White House official told Axios at the time, calling it a 'one-stop shop for news' and a potential hub for MAGA influencer content. Notably, for all the talk about having influencers as major players on the platform, nearly all of the YouTube link outs on the site go directly to the White House's content. Some of them are livestreams, some of them are taped official remarks, while others are short, slickly edited videos about whatever is on the President's agenda — perhaps a sign that no matter what influencers might say to praise them, there's no better message than the one that's shaped directly by the White House itself. And even the links that go outside the MAGA media ecosystem have some Trumpian editorializing in the headlines, too. For instance, a New York Post headline on Thursday characterized the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill Act as a 'bruising struggle', reflecting the intraparty revolts and GOP defections throughout the process. On the White House Wire, the link to the Post's story glossed over it and declared in all caps: 'THE ONE, BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL HEADS TO TRUMP'S DESK'. (The White House did not immediately return a request for comment.) Ever since his 2021 removal from Twitter and Facebook, Trump and his political apparatus have invested heavily in building out their own media infrastructure – from the websites, to the code, to the servers themselves – in order to retain complete control over their messaging without the threat of deplatforming. Truth Social, for instance, is wholly owned by Trump, meaning no other investor or shareholder can remove him for posting controversial content – one of the reasons he declined to return to Twitter after Elon Musk bought the company and rebranded it as X. Trumpworld has also tried to reduce their reliance on right-wing media outlets over the years, which have not been as reliably loyal as they'd prefer. Fox News, for instance, became the subject of Trump's hatred after they were the first to declare that he'd lost Arizona in the 2020 presidential election; Breitbart nearly became blacklisted after it was revealed that its chairman Steve Bannon was leaking to reporters during his stint in the White House. Cribbing the Drudge Report's format is simply part of their pattern: Matt Drudge, the site's primary curator and a major power player in right-wing media, became a vehement anti-Trumper and frequently uses the Drudge Report to criticise the president.
