Breaking News: Trump Declares George Soros "A Tremendous Guy" After Treasury Pick


In a stunning about-face, President-elect Donald Trump took to the podium today to not only defend his selection of Scott Bessent, a former protégé of George Soros, for Treasury Secretary but to also heap unexpected praise upon Soros himself.

“You know, I’ve always said George Soros is a smart guy,” Trump announced, his tone unusually conciliatory. “Very smart. People say, ‘Mr. Trump, didn’t you call him the worst thing to ever happen to America?’ I say, no, fake news, folks. I’ve always admired him. A real winner. Maybe I didn’t like some things he did, but hey, winners have to do what winners do.”

The pivot came as a shock to many of Trump’s supporters, some of whom had spent years vilifying Soros as the shadowy puppet master behind globalist conspiracies. On fringe internet forums, users tried desperately to reconcile this sudden praise with their firmly held beliefs. One prominent theorist posted, “This is 12D chess. Trump is flattering Soros to get him to accidentally give away his secrets. Trust the plan.”

When asked about Scott Bessent’s ties to Soros, Trump brushed off concerns. “Look, George taught Scott everything. Everything! And now Scott’s going to use that knowledge to make America richer than ever before. So, really, we should be thanking George Soros. Maybe I’ll even send him a nice letter. Nobody writes better thank-you notes than me, believe me.”

Trump’s apparent rebranding of Soros as an American hero has sparked a whirlwind of reactions. Critics immediately pointed out the sharp contrast with Trump’s earlier rhetoric, including his campaign rallies where Soros was depicted as the ultimate enemy of freedom. In response, Trump said, “I don’t know who told you that. Did I say that? I don’t think I said that. And if I did, maybe I was joking. People love my jokes. Tremendous humor.”

The most surreal moment came when Trump suggested he might invite Soros to Mar-a-Lago. “He’s probably never been. Beautiful place. He’ll love it. Great for a guy like him—very classy, just like me. Maybe I’ll get him a membership. Who knows? We’ll talk.”

Trump’s supporters, meanwhile, are struggling to keep up. One MAGA die-hard tweeted, “Well, if Trump says Soros is good, maybe Soros IS good? Or maybe he’s pretending Soros is good so he can drain his swamp? I’m confused but still all in. MAGA!”

Meanwhile, the Soros camp seemed equally bemused. In a rare statement, George Soros said, “I’m flattered, I think. But I must admit, this is… unexpected.”

As Trump continued his remarks, he capped the event with a classic boast. “Look, nobody can change their mind better than me. I’ve been saying this for years, George Soros and I, we’re not so different. We’re both rich, we’re both winners. The media’s going to twist this, but the people get it. They love me. And guess what? Soros is probably a little jealous, because I’m richer. Okay? That’s the truth.”

The press room fell silent as reporters processed what they had just heard. The only certainty is that, once again, the political world was turned on its head by a single Trump press conference.

From Community to Convenience: The Evolution of Shopping

Image
Throughout history, the tension between convenience and community has shaped the way we shop. From the rise of general stores in the 19th century to the dominance of Amazon today, each innovation in retail has offered greater ease while challenging the survival of local businesses. As consumers, we’re often caught in the middle—drawn to the instant gratification of one-click ordering and seamless returns, yet yearning to support the unique charm and connection offered by local shops. This dilemma isn’t new; it’s part of a centuries-old evolution in how we balance our desire for efficiency with our need for community.

The Tale of the Trashport: Solving Hunger One Hot Dog at a Time

Image
Dr. Gregory Grubbs, a self-proclaimed "scientific visionary" and former owner of a failing food truck, had done the unthinkable. He had invented a device that could end world hunger—a teleporting trashcan system he called the Trashport . The pitch was simple: one trashcan would sit at a bustling, wasteful location (like a ball game, carnival, or school cafeteria) and its paired counterpart would be stationed in a place of need. Uneaten food would go in one end and poof —appear fresh as new on the other side. The world reacted with cautious optimism. At first, Grubbs was hailed as a hero. His TED Talk, titled "Don’t Trash It—Teleport It," went viral, featuring Grubbs gleefully tossing half-eaten burgers, soggy nachos, and untouched popcorn into the Trashport, while a live feed showed villagers in a distant land happily retrieving the goods. The Early Days: Hot Dog Diplomacy The first prototype was installed at the Super Mega Bowl XLVIII, where an alarming amount of ...

Runway Bunny (As Corrupted by Kardash Kimian)

Once there was a little bunny who wanted to be the most famous fashion icon in the world. “I am going to run away and become a runway model,” said the little bunny. “If you become a runway model,” said his mother, adjusting her oversized sunglasses, “I will become your personal stylist and make sure you always look flawless.” “But what if I run away and become a mysterious haute couture muse, living in Paris, drinking tiny espressos and wearing outfits that make no sense?” asked the little bunny. “If you become a Parisian haute couture muse,” said his mother, “I will launch a SKIMS Paris collection made entirely of invisible fabric and show up at your front-row seat unannounced.” The little bunny pouted. “Fine, then I will become a minimalist influencer who only wears monochrome and speaks in ASMR.” “If you become a minimalist influencer,” said his mother, “I will create a limited-edition makeup line called No Makeup that sells out in three minutes and forces you to do a GRWM video fe...
