Everyone knows Trump will not handle the real business of running the nation. It's boring to him. So we will have to endure four years of performative and most likely harmful nonsense while he and his billionaire buddies line their pockets with our money.

Large chunks of America have always seen this. If the rest are finally coming to their senses, it's about time.
He only looks smart because his lies have overwhelmed a political culture that didn’t know how to respond to them. If I were a Trump fan, I’d start worrying about what happens when that stops. trib.al/bqvNXan
America Is Finally Starting to
See Trump for the Bullsh*t Artist He Is
He came to power through a relentless assault of lies. But the debt owed to the truth is coming due.

The FDA memo claiming the COVID vaccine killed at least 10 children relies on unverified VAERS reports and ignores real pediatric COVID data. If the agency wants credibility and truly believes in “radical transparency” it must release the full evidence for independent review.

Trump betrayed Ukraine, secretly colluded with Russians against Europe, and has a secret line with the Kremlin outside of official overview, hidden from everyone including US spy / national security agencies. These are the reddest of flags. A spy sits at the White House.

The DC shooter is a man whose work *for the United States* drove him crazy from guilt. That work, conducted at the direction of *our* CIA, allegedly involved murdering civilians. So for Trump to now say that the DC shooting confirms that *Afghans* categorically have shitty values is.... beyond vile.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.
It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

His juvenile ad hominem attacks would be second-rate on the average playground. Never fact-based or substantive or even slightly creative; just irrelevant spew from a dull mind.
And entirely inappropriate for anyone in ANY kind of power, let alone the most powerful office in the land.
