Trumpian disinformation posing as expertise.

Not my country either, but his nonsense acts as a catalyst for idiocy that tends to ooze over the border.

Trump is the enemy of humanity.

Yup. When a villain hits you with a folding chair, you don't respond with a slap.

Exactly. It takes decades and a lot of spilled blood to build trust. It only takes presidential whimsy to destroy it in a couple of months.

IMHO, the overall problem is that 54% of US adults only read below a grade-6 level. One of the attendant consequences of this is a knowledge deficit, and a challenge in distinguishing between fact, interpretation, opinion, and... lies.

Any bets on whether he'll try during the mid-terms?

Usually, criminals that don't get prosecuted feel emboldened. Just sayin' ...

MSM were too focused on "both-sidesing" whether it was raining or sunny, rather than sticking their corporate heads out the windows, and actually finding out which one was right.

Part of this is also that the value of the US dollar is dropping in relation to other currencies, as foreign investors, importers and exporters are forsaking the US in favor of more reliable trading partners.

IMHO, the US Constitution is up for a serious do-over. The Electoral College, gerrymandering, partisan Supreme Court judges, separation of church and state, citizenship, voter eligibility, candidacy for office, ethics, term limits, election financing, gun ownership, the whole stinking mess.

Exactly. Corporate profit-mongers leave their mess behind for taxpayers to clean up.

Democracies are always vulnerable to being taken over by those obsessed with self interest. It's their main weakness. That's why, next to the basic necessities of life, education is so important.

Reagan had a lot of warts. But he's miles ahead of Satan incarnate.

Add to this:

Oligarchy = Pay to play

Racism = DEI

3rd term = Dictatorship

Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded" ... "land that they STOLE from us."

Has this guy looked at a map lately? Does he even have a foothold in reality?
