Daily Dose of $Destiny | Monday, November 9, 2026
Listen up, America. Monday on X did not come to play, and neither did I.
Trump told 60 Minutes his own deportations might be "too tough," then spent Monday saying "no amnesty." Somebody parked a gold statue of him rubbing his foot on the National Mall. He asked if the midterms were "honest." He said Cuba is about to fall. And two grown men got fired out of a chimney in Slovenia for fun.
I read the transcripts, the posts and the receipts so you can scroll on your smoke break and still be the smartest one in the group chat. Let's get into it. 👇
🇺🇸 TRUMP SAYS HIS DEPORTATIONS MIGHT BE “TOO TOUGH”
In his first big sit-down since Republicans lost the House and the Senate, Trump told CBS's 60 Minutes his immigration crackdown "both helped and hurt" him. He gave himself "an A+ for closing up the border," then admitted the part that hurt: "we also took people that had good jobs, that created one violation." His words: "I think it was too tough." CBS News (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-says-some-of-his-immigration-policies-may-have-been-too-tough-60-minutes/ )
He also said he'd "love to do something on immigration" with the Democrats who take over Congress in January. AP (https://apnews.com/article/trump-60-minutes-interview-immigration-73d62584b3ad81ef2f55742ee3ba4c35 )
Then Monday hit and the tone flipped. Trump defended the policy as "very strong" and told reporters, "There won't be amnesty." His Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the same thing about amnesty, while leaving the door open for Congress to look at permanent status for DACA recipients.

Translation: Sunday Trump was in his feelings, Monday Trump checked the base's group chat. Both are on tape. The deal he floated has no text, no bill and no timeline yet.
🦶 A GOLD TRUMP STATUE IS RUBBING ITS FOOT ON THE NATIONAL MALL
Two days before Veterans Day, the anonymous art group The Secret Handshake put up a gold-painted statue near the National Gallery of Art's Sculpture Garden. It's Trump, sitting down, grimacing and clutching his right foot. The title: "The Foot Soldier." Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2026/11/09/statue-mocking-trumps-bone-spurs-appears-national-mall-before-veterans-day/ )
It's a jab at the bone spurs diagnosis Trump got in 1968, which gave him a medical exemption from the Vietnam draft. The plaque calls him "a soldier in spirit, who marched to the front lines of dodging the draft." And yes, there is a six-foot mascot in a big toe costume named Toey. I'm not making that up. Los Angeles Times (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2026-11-09/trump-statue-rubbing-foot-bone-spurs-secret-handshake ) | City Cast DC (https://dc.citycast.fm/news/trump-bone-spurs-foot-soldier-statue-national-mall )
For the record: Trump got five draft deferments, four for school and one medical. The group has put up more than a dozen Trump statues in DC, and this one is supposed to stay through Veterans Day.

Watch on X: https://x.com/joeflood/status/2119904389603209497
Let's be real: half of X is crying laughing and the other half is calling it childish and pointing out other presidents got deferments too. Either way, a guy in a toe suit beat every campaign ad this year for attention.
🗳️ TRUMP ASKS IF THE MIDTERMS WERE EVEN “HONEST”
Last week he told The New York Times he was "absolutely willing" to accept the results. Monday on Truth Social: "Does anybody really believe that this 'Election' was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong???" He added that some early voting "dumps" were too big to beat and "It's all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!" NBC News (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-midterm-elections-voting-machines-doubt-rcna607893 )
He didn't give evidence. Election officials say voting this year was largely routine, and Nevada's Secretary of State told NBC the claims are "completely false."

Chuck Schumer fired right back on X: "Donald Trump's pathetic return to election denialism was inevitable." Schumer on X (https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/2119833596840042639 ) | The Hill (https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6208460-trump-questions-midterm-results/ )

Here's the gut check: if you want to say it was rigged, bring receipts, not vibes. Right now there's a post and a feeling. That's it.
🇨🇺 TRUMP SAYS CUBA WILL “FALL FAIRLY SOON”
In the White House briefing room Monday, Trump went straight at Havana: "Cuba is falling. It's a failing nation. It's got an ideology very similar to what the Democrat ideology is." And the kicker: "I would imagine it will fall fairly soon." Rapid Response 47 on X (https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2119919554365153618 )
He said the U.S. is already helping Cubans "for humanitarian reasons," and he keeps pointing to Marco Rubio, whose parents were born in Cuba, as his guy on the island. Days earlier at Mar-a-Lago he joked about parachuting Rubio in to "fix it." No military order or official plan has been announced. CiberCuba (https://en.cibercuba.com/noticias/2026-11-10-u1-e135253-s27061-nid345350-trump-compara-ideologia-regimen-cubano-democratas ) | Voz (https://voz.us/en/politics/261110/1000447/at-some-point-yes-trump-says-there-will-be-elections-in-venezuela-before-his-term-ends.html ) | Cuba Headlines (https://www.cubaheadlines.com/articles/345126 )
Watch on X: https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2119919554365153618
Translation: he roasted the Democrats and the Castro crowd in the same sentence. Efficient. Whether "fairly soon" means weeks or years, nobody in that room said.
🚀 TWO MEN GOT CATAPULTED OUT OF EUROPE'S TALLEST CHIMNEY
Now for something that is not politics, thank God. BASE jumpers Dani Roman of Spain and Fred Fugen of France got launched from a 60 meter catapult built inside the 360 meter Trbovlje chimney in Slovenia. Zero to 180 km/h, about 112 mph, in 2.15 seconds. Then a second of floating, then freefall, then parachutes. Red Bull (https://www.redbull.com/int-en/human-catapult )
They walked away with two Guinness World Records: Roman went 100.36 meters up in a solo launch, and the two of them hit 151.72 meters combined in a double launch. Red Bull's video passed 900K impressions on X. Red Bull on X (https://x.com/redbull/status/2119731733633618106 )

Bottom line: I get nervous on a playground swing and these two volunteered to be a slingshot. Respect. Would you get in? Because I would be crying at the bottom of that chimney.
📈 MY STOCK PICK: SELL $GEO (THE GEO GROUP)
My read on the climate: Trump himself just said his deportations might be "too tough," the Democrats take both chambers in January, and they'll control the purse strings and the hearings. GEO runs private detention and immigration facilities, so its story leans hard on aggressive deportation policy and the money Congress approves for it. When the President is publicly second-guessing the crackdown, that's a mood shift I'm not ignoring. It trades on the NYSE, so you can trade it on Cash App.
Risks: Trump already walked it back Monday with "no amnesty," Stephen Miller, the architect of the crackdown, is now chief of staff, and existing contracts don't vanish overnight. Detention stocks have bounced hard on headlines before, so if enforcement stays at full speed, this pick looks dumb fast. If you don't own it, this is a "stay away" call, not a short-selling tip.
Not financial advice.
💋 $DESTINY'S TAKE
Here's what Monday told me, grinders. The guy at the top is reading the room in real time. Sunday he sounded like he'd heard from voters. Monday he sounded like he'd heard from his base. Same man, two moods, and both are on camera.
Meanwhile the internet did what it does best: a gold foot, a toe mascot, a chimney launch and a whole lot of opinions.
My advice? Watch what gets signed, not what gets posted. And if anybody offers you a ride out of a chimney, ask for the safety specs first. 😘
Stay launched. Stay skeptical. Stay on your feet.
