As tensions with Iran escalate, President Donald Trump’s behavior last weekend appeared “chaotic” and “odd,” The Guardian’s Adam Gabbatt noted on Sunday, citing an expert who offered a possible explanation for the president’s “rash behaviors.”

While the Trump administration’s ongoing and widening war against Iran continues to rattle global stability and send “tremors” through the world economy, Trump’s conduct last weekend, Gabbatt argued, appeared strikingly out of step with the gravity of the moment, and to such an extent that it “defied norms and raised eyebrows over his state of mind.”

“Take last Sunday, for example: the Pentagon solemnly announced that a seventh US service member had been killed in the Iran conflict,” Gabbatt wrote. “Trump spent the day playing golf in Florida, where he appeared to be wearing the same baseball cap he wore during a dignified transfer ritual of dead military members on Saturday.”

That same day, Trump hosted a summit in Florida where he spoke at length about the Spanish language, praising himself on his ability to gauge the quality of English-Spanish interpreters despite not speaking the language, and telling Latin American leaders “I’m not learning your damn language.”

“Trump’s odd weekend came after he had posted eight separate times on Friday about how he had fallen out with Bill Maher, the American TV host and comedian,” Gabbatt wrote. “Maher has no connection to the war in Iran.”

The possible explanation for Trump’s behavior, Emmitt Riley III, a political professor at the University of the South, theorized, was a simple one.

“The president has always exemplified these rash behaviors, but I think he sometimes uses that strategically,” Riley told The Guardian in its analysis Sunday.

“But the other element of this is the president is older, and all of the critiques that he leveled against Joe Biden’s age appear to be impacting him now: we’re seeing him falling asleep in cabinet meetings, we’re seeing him be temperamental.”

It was also Trump’s enormous personal wealth, Riley argued, that may explain his “odd” behaviors amid global chaos.

“How do we expect a person who is a billionaire to actually be concerned about the wellbeing of people who are not of wealth, who are not of that particular economic class?” she told The Guardian. “And I think Trump’s behavior shows either he’s a narcissist, or he just simply doesn’t care.”

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
