I spend a few minutes most days taking memes that mock Trump and posting them to his Truth Social account. It’s therapeutic.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

I see it now! The Democrats are expected to bend the knee to the orange autocrat like the Republicans. Thank you for clarifying!

“They're lying about the protests. They're trying to deter people from showing up, but it's had the opposite effect.” #NoKings

He clearly has a textbook case of narcissistic personality disorder.

We have to laugh at him. Shame him. Insult him. Tease him.

People have the power. If we don’t rise up, even through the use of psychological tools against him, we lose.
