- It's not only breathtakingly corrupt, it's manifestly illegal, no matter what permission is received from a cowardly and compromised Department of Justice.
- Trump family eagerly awaiting the Saudi-UAE counteroffer in the Persian Gulf Trump-corruption auction/arms race.
- Donald Trump is about to accept a gift of a jet from Qatar. This is a gift to him personally. He wants to transfer the jet to his presidential "library" - meaning to his personal use and that of his heirs. More analysis of Trump corruption here www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpU2...
- Quite a perfect double character sketch by Maureen Dowd of Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg www.nytimes.com/2025/05/10/o...

- In 48 hours, almost 300,000 YouTube views for my dialogue with @anneapplebaum.bsky.social , Episode 5 of the David Frum Show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpU2...
- Okay, okay, I'll watch "Conclave."

- Tomorrow marks 30 days since @TheAtlantic launched the David Frum Show. Today we surpassed 1 million total views on YouTube alone. Come take a look if you have not already! www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpU2...
- PS to the Trump administration's great patriotic war on girls' dolls and pencils: notice how "unnecessary foreign luxuries" are female-coded. An outboard motor is crammed with Chinese components, but try to imagine Trump asking, "Do Americans really need to own personal boats?"
