More proof of a Trump health cover-up:

-Trump leaves WH again this morning, mouth agape.
-Not allowed to speak with reporters.

Then it gets weirder...

Like full-on AI gaslighting kinda weird...! Image
2/13

He once again "goes golfing" at his club.

And, reporters are confined to the tennis court area. Not allowed to speak to Trump, and not allowed to seem him golfing, which they normally can.
3/13

His team posts this picture with close friend and radio host John Fredericks.

After days of outdated pictures, we finally get something that seems current - but something is off. Image
4/13

Other than the weird staging, we notice that Trump's eyes are barely open, especially his right eye.

This would be consistent with someone recovering from a minor stroke or larger TIA who is recovering physically but not fully well yet. Image
5/13

But, it's also an odd smile for Trump.

Large, overly toothy, and uniform.

The rare times he smiles with teeth, its smaller and larger on one side.

It's not this clenched teeth full smile.

And his face doesn't push back that much when he does it. Image
Image
6/13

So then I thought, what about tools like FaceApp that use AI models to adjust a person appearance?

Since this isn't a press photo, we don't know its not faced edits.
7/13

Here is a sample of a Trump smile image run through FaceApp's smile feature on high settings.

What do you notice? Image
Image
8/13

When we make the change, the app squishes the face to expand the smile.

-Crows feet intensify
-Lips furl in
-Smile lines pull back
-Eyes become more closed
-Smile feels more intense/forced/unnatural Image
Image
9/13

Unlike an AI that fully generates images, a face editor like FaceApp his hard to programmatically detect, there are no hidden watermarks or super obvious tells.

The best method is changing the contract in photoshop to look for odd noise.
10/13

And when we boost contrast you'll notice some.

Hard to see with Twitter's compression but the outline around Trump's face has pixelated noise, and so do his teeth.

Suggesting, although *not proving* touch-up. It could be lighting inconsistencies but along with the weird smile and behavior it does raise questions.Image
11/13

If there is nothing wrong with the president then:

-Why is not taking questions from the press?
-Why are they not allowed to see him golfing like usual?
-Why are we only getting controlled media releases?
-Why are all press images inconsistent with what his team puts out?
12/13

We're on 7 days since he was last freely in front of the press.

We'd expect a TIA or minor stroke victim to be able to walk and pose for a photo now, but perhaps still have other small tells.

But be nearing the point where they could pretend nothing happened.
13/13

The press are not asking any hard questions, and its likely by mid week we'll get some simple talking from the president sitting behind the Resolute desk and they'll pretend everything is ok.

The President is clearly not running the country.
PS -- Queue MAGA rage as the bootlickers tell me "how healthy" he looks, how this is "obsessive", how he "works so hard" and how vague whataboutisms about Biden some how magically make Trumps health better! 🙄
@Cubfan13241 Actually quick reverse search, shows a couple who had a wedding at Trump’s golf course in DC

The carpet is consistent.

So Trump just likely has the same designer for both locations. Image

The number of traders posting “wtf just happened” is hilarious.

Go back and study the last bull market before you try and trade this one on leverage.

I’ll break down some of how I traded the last one, and what got me on PnL leaderboards:
2/9

As you get closer to highs, drawn down volatility increases.

Sundays are a time when hunters paint the tape up until about 2, squeezing off side, and then puke a large spot into the illiquid market to rinse longs.
3/9

You get these drops a few times a week when you get into frothy markets, they’ll range from 2% - 5% wicks on the majors.

Rule of thumb is 3x-4x that for the small caps.

Today the DoJ was supposed to send the full Epstein files to Congress.

They didn't.

Instead they released hundreds of redacted pages from Ghislaine Maxwell's filled with lies and more questions.

Here's just the first part as I slog through these documents: Image
2/23

Right off the bat we're told that there was existing conversation prior to going on the record.

While that's not uncommon, it's worth remembering that Todd Blanche is also Trump's former *personal* lawyer and DoJ Deputy, and its *very* odd to have him doing this interview Image
3/23

Maxwell claims she met Epstein in 1991, after the death of her father.

The problem is Epstein's business partner Hoffenberg says Robert Maxwell introduced Ghislaine Maxwell to Epstein in the 1980s. Image

The New York Times released a great piece of pictures from Epstein’s home showing Trump, Musk and hidden cameras.

But they missed the most important picture that proves Epstein’s smuggling crimes and fills in a *HUGE* part of the puzzle: Image
Image
Image
2/18

This picture right here shows Epstein being very friendly with Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, an Emirati businessman.

He holds three important positions:

-Chairman of the Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) in Dubai.
-Chairman & CEO of DP World.
-Chairman of Branson’s Hyperloop One. Image
Image
3/18

Why is any of this relevant?

When Epstein was arrested the first time, they found in his safe two passports, one of which was an Austrian passport.

The passport was authentic, but included a fake name for Epstein and listed his location as “Saudi Arabia” Image

Wait...!

Did Trump mess up here?!

From March - May the DoJ and FBI were redacting Trump's name from the physical Epstein files **before** they briefed him on it.

But, once briefed in May, the TOP priority became to edit and rush out the Epstein video:

Why?

Well...Image
2/8

It's no surprise to anyone in this administration that Trump was associated with Epstein.

So they had no problem removing his name from those files preemptively.

But, none of his current DoJ or FBI senior leadership was the same from his first administration. Image
3/8

So had the Trump administration been involved in a cover-up related to Epstein, these current senior leaders wouldn't have known.

They believed the biggest exposure risk was his name in the files...

So like good little foot soldiers they get to work! Image

On Friday, Bloomberg did some great reporting that the DOJ & FBI seem to be *illegally* misusing FOIA exemptions to hide Trump's name in OVER **100,000** pages of the Epstein files.

It gives us new details on the cover-up:Image
2/12

In March, the FBI suddenly moved over 1000 agents from field offices in Washington, and New York field offices, to the Central Records Complex in Virginia for a "temporary assignment" Image
3/12

This 256,000 square foot facility holds more than 2 *BILLION* pages of physical records for the FBI - including the Epstein files.

The dense warehouse has so much physical evidence that it uses ceiling robots to move and store the large crates. Image

Insane that we’re here.

Where well intentioned laws get twisted, and turned into privacy nightmares.

But it’s seldom about censorship, and more often simply ignorance that gets us here.

Let’s breakdown why these weird regulations are happening:
2/16

Years ago I worked on helping lobby privacy protecting bills in the EU, Canada and California - and saw first hand what causes this insanity.

It’s not a purposeful ruse or about censorship, it’s about bad policy getting abused.

Most of the time bills that remove privacy are extremely well intentioned.

They are also written by people who are well intentioned, but who are technologically illiterate.

And then they are reshaped by social media lobbyists who are legal-nuance illiterate.
3/16

**The UK Version**

The UK version of the law we’re seeing now is “The Online Safety Act of 2023” which came into full effect July 2025 to give companies time to adjust to the new regulation.
