Donald Trump is bragging that he's “very proud” of this economy.
But his first year in office was marked by the weakest job growth in more than a decade outside of Covid.
Trump needs to stop denying reality and start fixing the economic pain he's caused.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.
Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes
