The first incident of civil unrest gives Trump the predicate he wants to declare a National Emergency. That power allows him to use the military against civilian populations, give orders to local law enforcement, override the courts & Congress, & mute the media.
It will be the beginning of the end.

So … instead of me paying $48 for my eye meds, @ a 500% Trump-math decrease, the pharmacy will pay me $192 to pick it up. I’m holding out for 800%. That would be an extra $336 in my pocket for food.
As stupid as his numbers are, & as much as he lies without a thought, people believe this sh$t.

Trump claims he's slashing drugs prices by "200 percent, 300 percent, 400 percent, 500 percent, 600 percent, 700 percent, 800 percent. Nobody has ever heard of it before."

Trump’s ‘ice maiden’ Susie Wiles unloads on president’s agenda in candid interviews with Vanity Fair
Susie still thinks Gramps is all that,
But her words call him all but fat
She trashes them all,
Her curtain call?
Maybe, but only by tweet.

Trump’s top aide acknowledges ‘score settling’ behind prosecutions.
WH C of S Wiles, “she urged Mr. Trump not to pardon the most violent rioters from Jan. 6, 2021, which he did anyway. She unsuccessfully tried to get him to delay his major tariffs because of a huge disagreement among his advisers”

The “dignity” of his office was destroyed long, long ago.
Nothing can preserve either it or his legacy of corruption, cruelty, and evil.

While I’m appreciative for those calling to remove this post, let’s be clear eyed.
This new found bravery is due to Trump’s plummeting poll numbers, along with obvious signs of his health failing.
He has become what he detests the most.

They are circus performers whose only goal is to keep their job.
These times just might have exposed them for their lack of courage and transactional behavior that only works under Trump. He will be gone, and they should all be thrown out of office. Some should be thrown in jail.

Republicans spent years attacking Hunter Biden’s foreign ties. Meanwhile, Jared Kushner raised billions from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. And now he sits at the center of U.S. media consolidation and back-channel diplomacy. The double standard is glaring.

When does her book come out and the speaking tour start?

Yup. Why doesn’t he just say that he is glad that they are dead?
But karma will strike & he will die-the sooner the better. Then, unfortunately, he will never know the WORLD’s glee on that day & many days & months thereafter.
Even the most sycophantic Trumpist must see that the man MUST be removed

Almost right, shorty. I don’t link lives should be lost at all, and we should mind our own business and act like adults, not petulent, bored children.
Rand Paul: "The president also said, 'Be careful Colombia, you could be next.' I mean, if we're gonna go and topple regime after regime in South America, there's no amount of money that could be printed to pay for that and I don't think lives should be lost without a vote by Congress."

This is extraordinary. Voting against one’s self-interest is the go-to Trump base, but the crazies he inspired will harass, injure & (possibly) kill these people.
