President Trump asks if he can "have some" Ibogaine – a psychedelic drug during a press briefing: "Ibogaine because it's so important and experienced an 80 to 90% reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety within one month. Can I have some please? I'll take some. I'll take whatever it takes."

Is Iran giving him depression?

President Trump is weak on crime.

'Trump’s DOJ has cut thousands of law-enforcement jobs while vowing to get tough on crime'

The Trump administration has cut more than 4,000 employees from some of the nation’s top law-enforcement agencies, even as it vowed to crack down on crime, according to ​records obtained by Reuters.

The records, from the U.S. Justice Department’s management unit, show that the total number of employees at the FBI has dropped more than 7% since the government’s ‌2024 fiscal year, a loss of about 2,600 people. The Drug Enforcement Administration’s staff has dropped by about 6%, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lost about 14% of its workers.

Other parts of the Justice Department shrank even more rapidly. Its National Security Division, which handles intelligence and terrorism matters, lost nearly 38% of its staff, the department’s records show. The division’s most recent budget request to Congress noted “unprecedented personnel constraints” in the unit that handles cases involving espionage and the export of sensitive military ​technology.

"It’s the difference between being proactive and entrepreneurial or purely reactive to the most obvious imperative of the day," Adam Hickey, a former senior official in the National Security Division, said of the ​loss of staff.

Those records, which Reuters obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, offer the most detailed accounting to date of the extent to which the Trump administration ⁠has downsized some of the nation’s premier law-enforcement agencies.

Those agencies have traditionally handled the government’s highest-profile criminal investigations, including efforts to combat terrorism, deter drug traffickers and keep guns away from criminals.

Other records, including detailed information about ​people who left government jobs, show an increasing pace of departures from law-enforcement agencies after Trump began his second term in January 2025.

“The administration talks a big game when it comes to crime and terrorism, but the fact ​that it’s hollowing out agencies tasked with addressing them shows that they don’t stand behind their words,” said Stacey Young, a former Justice Department lawyer who leads Justice Connection, a group that supports staff leaving the department.

The main drivers of crime are social and economic, while politicians and the press believe it's merely the absence of laws and law enforcement.

well, politicians and the press are either lying, abysmally ignorant, and/or complete idiots
the rump republic has been showing us for a year how the use of "law enforcement" to enforce made up, and possibly patently illegal "laws" is itself a huge source of crime, and some of the worst.

The headline clearly states the horns of the US's dilemma...

Trump claims US has total control over strait of Hormuz after Iran seizes two container ships

... but it's also an opportunity to make America even greater (if you're an oil company or looking to acquire assets on the cheap)...

Oil prices rise and markets fall after US seizure of ship hits Iran peace deal hopes.

The current military adventures of the world's largest petro-state in Iran have highlighted how sensitive the global economy is to supply disruption at this singular geographical/political chokepoint. The oil-worshiping Trump Regime is populated and paid for by the kind of hegemonic true-believers who would gleefully aspire to control the transport corridor for a third of the world's oil. Enforcing who can move oil through the chokepoint, at what time and at what cost, could be both top-level rentierism and a boon to maintaining consistently higher prices. So what's not to love about that - even if it means sluicing a quarter of your population into the gutter?
