Maybe if Donald Trump wasn’t so insecure about the size of his penis, we’d be spared the obscene expense of his macho-man military parade. Listen, Donald: the Ancient Greeks thought a small dick was an attractive feature in a man. Just look at their statues. And commission one of yourself!

Cruelty seems to be the ultimate point of many of their policies. It’s not collateral damage; it’s the intended result.

Trump is determined to choke off EVs, trains, and green energy in a last ditch effort to save a slowly dying fossil fuel industry. This will only put America further behind the global technology curve, a race we’re already losing. We’ll end up much poorer for it. Call it the anti-Abundance agenda.

Trump and the MAGA Congress are taking “one big, beautiful” dump on the poor and working class Americans.

Trump’s proposed cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, Head Start, and student loans are plain cruel. As is ICE’s treatment of undocumented immigrants and international students. Cruelty seems to be the point—they delight in it, as did Italy’s Fascists and Germany’s Nazis. Cruelty goes hand in hand with fascism.

You’ve gotta hand it to that slick conman Trump. With his tariffs, he’s selling a multibillion dollar tax hike on the poor and middle class, which his base gladly accepts on the empty promise of future manufacturing jobs. Every scam starts: “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”

Trump adviser Stephen Miller wants to suspend habeas corpus. The Constitution forbids this except in case of insurrection or invasion, but Trump could gin up a pretext. The “Great Writ” is all that stands between us and arbitrary detention, imprisonment, or disappearance—i.e., Gestapo rule.

Does this China tariff pause mean little Susie gets her usual 30 dolls, and as many pencils as she wants?

Trump and Trumpism are failing. But Democrats must offer more than reversion to the status quo ante, because that wasn’t working for too many Americans. Especially working class and rural Americans who were left out of the prosperity enjoyed by the college-educated and professional classes.
