ISRAEL IS TURNING ON TRUMP
Adelson's Paper Turns On Trump: "You Betrayed Us"
The newspaper owned by Trump's $100 million benefactor Miriam Adelson just ran an op-ed calling his Iran deal a "surrender agreement" and warning he'll be remembered as the president "who brought about America's humiliation."
Adelson outspent Musk to put Trump in office. She got him to move the embassy to Jerusalem. Now her paper says he "lost his moral and leadership compass."
The man who said "there would be no Israel" without him just learned what his donors think loyalty buys.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos says human water consumption is limiting AI’s potential
Skipping fears of mass unemployment, Bezos used his VivaTech panel to argue that an 'artificial general engineer' just creates more tasks.
Speaking at the VivaTech 2026, Bezos weighed in on the ongoing debate around AI and its possible labour shortages. He argued that AI will boost human creativity. Giving the example of his latest venture, Prometheus, an AI startup, which aims to build an “artificial general engineer”, Bezos argued that the project speeds up innovation and creates new industries, ultimately leading to a labour shortage rather than mass unemployment.
“AI is going to create a labour shortage because it’s going to make it possible for people to identify more problems,” he said.
He added that the technology will help bring to life ideas previously considered impossible.
“If we can accelerate the dream-build loop, all of the ideas will then become possible. And then we end up being limited not by our capabilities but by our imaginations,” the 62-year-old said during a session moderated by former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino. Blue Origin chief executive Dave Limp was also part of the panel.
The cost of AI advancement
Bezos also said that in order for AI to reach that potential, certain resources must be allocated and prioritised for the technology rather than for human consumption.AI data centres’ use of large quantities of water has been a point of contention and concern for many people around the world. But Bezos argued that “we have to look at the macro-picture of our planet’s future.”

When you update old threads to cover new subjects they can be infinite. This was a Kamala thread. Now it’s Trump. It’ll be the 2028 campaign and next president after that.
Not a good thing IMO. It’s ok to let a thread die and a new one begin.
I might not even watch clips from this shit show. I'm already annoyed from the little bit of rambling these knucks did here.
The nba season, previous the Obama, Biden, and the thick white girl threads

BREAKING: Trump Megadonor Miriam Adelson’s Newspaper Blasts President Over Iran Deal: “You Failed”
One of Donald Trump’s most influential supporters is now seeing her newspaper publicly turn on the president.
Israel Hayom, the widely circulated Israeli newspaper owned by billionaire Trump donor Miriam Adelson, published a blistering open letter Friday accusing Trump of betraying Israel through his recent agreement with Iran.
Under the headline, “You could have been the greatest president of all, but you failed,” columnist Danny Zaken delivered a direct and unusually harsh rebuke of the president.
Zaken warned Trump that he “may be remembered forever as the president who brought about America’s humiliation.”
He continued:
“And from where I sit, near Jerusalem, the eternal capital of the people of Israel since the days of the kingdoms of David and Solomon, I say to you: You made a colossal mistake. You failed by signing a surrender agreement with a murderous and cruel terror regime. You severely harmed American interests and the democratic and human values of the enlightened world, and you turned over the hourglass toward the next war, which your successors will have to deal with in the years to come.”
The criticism did not stop there.
Zaken also took issue with Trump’s reported treatment of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, specifically his use of Netanyahu’s longtime nickname.
“Two weeks ago, someone in your circle made sure to leak the sharp conversation you had with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,” he wrote. “And I deliberately emphasize the full title. He is not ‘Bibi.’ He is the elected prime minister of the independent and sovereign State of Israel, as would be anyone else sitting in his chair.”
The columnist questioned why Trump appeared to abandon a tougher approach toward Iran, arguing that political considerations made little sense.
“And I am trying, and failing, to understand what caused this absurd change of direction, so contrary to everything you have said and done until now. The midterm elections are a flimsy excuse.
You are in your second term, and the surrender memorandum of understanding will hurt the Republicans more than it will help them.”
He concluded with a warning and a plea for Trump to reverse course.
“We feel betrayed, nothing less, because your heart was, it seemed, in the right place, with all your flaws. You acted against it. You lost your patience and your moral and leadership compass. Only if you walk this back and avoid reaching a final agreement with Iran might there be a correction.”
The public rebuke is especially notable given Adelson’s longstanding relationship with Trump.
Israel Hayom was founded in 2007 by the late casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, one of the Republican Party’s most influential donors.
Miriam Adelson has remained a major financial supporter of Trump and Republican causes.
The relationship has not always been smooth. During the 2024 campaign, Trump attacked Israel Hayom as part of the “fake news” media after two of its reporters wrote that his comments urging Israel to end its war against Hamas left them “shocked.”
Despite those tensions, Adelson has remained one of Trump’s biggest backers.
Trump awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2018, and at a White House Hanukkah celebration last December, she joked that she would give him “another $250 million” if he sought a third term.
Now, however, one of the most influential media outlets in Trump’s political orbit is openly questioning both his leadership and his strategy toward Iran, delivering one of the sharpest public criticisms yet from within a traditionally pro-Trump, pro-Israel camp.

18h ·WOW: Italy's Meloni Shuts Down Trump's Nuclear Threat With One Devastating History Lesson
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni did not flinch when Donald Trump tried to use nuclear threats to justify his stance on Iran, and her response is now being called one of the sharpest rebukes any world leader has delivered to the American president this year.
Trump had warned that if Iran acquired a nuclear weapon, it would "blow Italy up in two minutes," a comment that stunned observers for its recklessness and its casual disregard for a NATO ally. Rather than back down or play along with the fear-mongering, Meloni calmly turned the moment into a lesson in accountability.
"As far as I know up to now, nine nations possess nuclear weapons and only one has used it," Meloni said. "That one is the United States of America."
The response landed like a verbal mic drop. Meloni, a conservative leader who has generally maintained warm relations with Trump, did not raise her voice or attack him personally. She simply stated a fact that Trump's own rhetoric could not survive, reminding the room and the world that nuclear restraint has never been America's strong suit when it mattered most.
It was a striking moment precisely because of who delivered it. Meloni is not a progressive firebrand looking for a viral takedown. She is one of Trump's more sympathetic counterparts on the world stage, which made her willingness to push back so publicly even more notable. When even Trump's allies start correcting him on basic history, it signals just how far his rhetoric has drifted from reality.
The exchange is a reminder that respect on the world stage is not guaranteed by power alone. It has to be earned, and lately, fewer and fewer leaders are willing to pretend otherwise.
