Donald has never liked the WORK of being president. He's too lazy for that and lacks the attention and ability to read. Instead, he likes the pomp, flattery and opportunities to use the office to make money. In other words, he is useless to the American people, other than trolling for the MAGA half.

So instead of trade deals he’s just going to publicly negotiate with himself until he walks back the tariffs? We get a couple of months of supply chain shock and nothing to show for it besides damaged relationships across the world.

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

The Attorney General of the United States gushing on camera that the President has saved two-thirds of the entire population of America from dying of a fentanyl overdose was a gut-churning lurch towards the absurd flattery lavished on personality-cult dictators by fawning subordinates.
