No one mentioned Pennsylvania-he said you would have lost 4 Senate seats if it were not for him. He didn’t claim to have made a difference in only one state. So, again, why is he so certain it would have been 51-49 for Dems if he hadn’t done what he did?

Take note people, when someone like Musk wants to send a warning shot “don’t cancel my grants or I’ll reveal your worse secrets,” what he reveals for the warning is NOT by any means the biggest secret. Bear that in mind … again, Epstein is not the big secret Musk is reminding T that he knows …

This is a really interesting message by Elon. He says if he hadn't "helped" Trump would have lost but more specifically he says the Senate would be 51-49. That is very specific, like he feels he is responsible for the GOP winning specific Senate seats. What did he do that makes him sure of this no.?

Elon, if there is anything you know about last November's election that would benefit from scrutiny, now would be an excellent moment to mention/leak it.

Or the first by aide in style of him AI says: CONCLUSION Same author (Trump), but the first is more polished, while the second is a classic Trump-style outburst with worse grammar and more aggression. This matches his pattern—official statements are cleaned up, while his personal posts are chaotic.

One of the judges said what if the baby is born to parents whose country only has birthright citizenship that baby would then be stateless. But what about the baby who is left on the door of the church or the door of the hospital, parents unknown? That baby too would be stateless under Trump.

Just buy the darn plane. It is the receiving it as a gift that is the issue. Pitch Congress that since the existing planes are old and failing, and Boeing wont finish the new ones until 2029, maybe they'll agree. Not saying you'll get approval for the 'palace' bit, or keeping it yourself in 2029.

So Trump claims he has no idea who "middlemen" are. So let's educate you Mr. P.: When Pam Bondi, ex lobbyist for Qatar, and Steve Witkoff, close friend of the emir, helped you get the free $400m plane for you to play with as your personal toy, they acted as what we call "middlemen." Clear now?

There is so much wrong with this. Not least how does an executive order compel drug companies to set any specific price for drugs. Or, when you say the US will pay no more than the lowest cost worldwide is that taking into account the relative strength of the currencies?

Trump obviously thinks that everything donated to his Presidential Library will remain his property for him to access and use as private citizen. Sigh … big surprise that he doesn’t get the idea of presidential libraries either. Look for him to donate the resolute desk to his library too …

So much of what he does shows his low IQ, but despite that, evidence of just how stupid he is comes as a shock. He watches a movie about Alcatraz and thinks the story is true and bases a presidential order on the movie he saw? This is going to be a long 4 years …

STEP 1: Populate Justice Department with people who only do what you tell them to. STEP 2: Say you don't know about bringing mistakenly deported people home or if you should follow the constitution because your 'lawyers' haven't told you yet. STEP 3: Pat self on back for being so very very clever.

It is hard for most people to relate to, but you do realize that Donald Trump has probably never in his adult life ever been into a grocery store? Or possibly virtually any store at all. At his level of wealth everything is brought to him by delivery or staff going out to buy it. So he has no clue.

Spoke like a true out of touch oligarch, Trump says so kids who usually have 30 dolls will have to make do with only 2 dolls. Aside from the asinine example, what about the kids who can only afford one or two dolls? No dolls for you? Or No Ken Do as the Guardian put it? Kids must suffer is the msg.

If Trump understands what photoshop is and knows the image was manipulated but still claims it is real then he does not qualify to be in the highest office. If he doesn't understand but simply believes what his staff say about the tattoos, then he does not meet the minimum criteria to be President.

Has it occurred to you yet that behind the scenes his helpers are lying to him because they are scared to tell him the truth? And this is why he repeats flat-out lies in interviews, because he actually thinks they are true? Price of eggs, gas, etc gone down? MS13 actually written on that guy's hand?

Even intelligent people can be stupid at times. Take the sudden rise of talk about global birth rates being down. How it is important to encourage more babies to be born so 'humanity is not destroyed.' How it is important to get rid of birth control, abortion, give $5000 for each new baby ..

One of his most persistent lies is that he is 6'3" tall. And he gets doctors to collude on this. But we have numerous photos of him next to people who are 6'1" and taller and he is shorter than all of them. We know Trump wore risers in his shoes for the longest time but hasn't been wearing of late
