Doesn’t sound like Hamas is for the peace deal Trump celebrated! The remains of at least 19 hostages are still unaccounted for. More BS on Trump’s part - no peace deal just him trying to be a hero.

Calling for gas chambers. Expressing love for Hitler. Endorsing rape. Using racist slurs.

I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

So true and mark my word there will be no peace in the Middle East - it’s an illusion he wants you to believe. Hamas is not abiding by the Trump rules.

They are set for California and they have planned for it. Should not change venues because of a cry baby. He likes to punish people - think he gets so gratification from doing so. Hates California and the diverse people in it.

Never has been America First - these give away of billions & deals I guarantee he is making millions personally himself. No deal or give away without something huge for him. You can forget him putting the citizens of America first. Look what he has done to harm us already!

Republicans can’t be bothered to negotiate with Democrats to stop your insurance premiums from skyrocketing—but they have no problem with Trump bailing out Argentina with $20B of your money.

So much for America First!

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: What is the benefit for the US in helping Argentina?

TRUMP: Just helping a great philosophy take over a great country ... we don't have to do it. It's not gonna make a big difference for our country.

Trump threatens the WRONG State! California brings in more federal tax revenue than any other state in the U.S. — and it’s not even close.
1️⃣ California
$510–$520 billion
14–15%
Driven by high incomes, tech, & corporate taxes
2️⃣ New York
~$300 billion
3️⃣ Texas
~$290 billion
4️⃣ Florida
~$230 billion

If Californians stopped paying federal tax:
-The federal government would instantly lose over half a trillion dollars annually
-The federal budget deficit would nearly double overnight,
-Ca. economy (5th largest in the world) would effectively cripple federal operations until resolved.

Trump threatens to press FIFA & the U.S. Olympic Committee to change locations for the World Cup and 2028 Summer Olympics because of the policies of Democratic elected officials, calling out Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. He is such a baby of a man!
