Trump biographer reveals 'head-smacking' detail about Trump and Melania's marriage www.alternet.org/melania-trum...

Trump biographer claims Trump and Melania are separated and do not live by traditional marriage arrangements www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

He’s worth a lot more now as he rakes in a smooth million a month as he monetizes the presidency!

Senator Ted Kennedy — the Lion of the Senate — famously and successfully reached across the aisle to get the votes needed to pass legislation. “… no one was too conservative to be ruled out as a potential legislative partner during the 46 years and 10 months he spent in the Senate.”

“The dissolution of boundaries between Trump’s official & commercial business is the main symptom of democracy in crisis…the boundary between statecraft and self-aggrandisement is blurred…. Qatar offered him a $400m ‘flying palace’ as a substitute for Air Force One as Mr Trump’s personal jumbo.”

I’m looking for ACTION not TALK. All the politicians do is yak, yak, yak. Talking won’t get us out of this serious crisis.

Skilled Politicians connect across the aisle to strong-arm, “make deals”, trade promises to get things done. Who will be the Lion in 2025?

D’s & R’s are united on the issue of the Golden Palace in the Sky. WILL THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR SQUANDER THEIR SHARED UNITY? ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️

D’s & R’s are united AGAINST Trump’s Qatar plane. The D’s slammed Trump after he indicated he would accept a luxury jet from the Qatari royal family. More noteworthy is that some of his strongest supporters also have serious reservations about the deal, even as it's not yet finalised.

Yup. The Orange Tyrant will get his golden plane. Why not? Nothing is in his way to stop him. ✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️ youtube.com/shorts/Jtfx0...

Homan is correct: AOC Doesn’t Intimidate Him Trump’s cruel, fascist clowns are emboldened. Why shouldn’t they be? No one stands up to them. youtu.be/vGJGimpePdE?...

Congress didn’t stop him. They talked about it being wrong, but did nothing. So the orange baby gets his new toy. Why? He wasn’t stopped, so it’s a go. We pay the salary and benefits of Congress: what do we get in return besides a lot of bluster?

Not really much of a moron since he always gets what he wants, eh? Morons are usually dumb enough to be stopped. Not this one. This moron makes Congress look like a bunch of weaklings. Fools. Trump knows how to get what he wants. He has everyone under control. Rich S.O.B. moron.

Is anybody trying?! Democrats must walk across the aisle, twist arms, made deal and trade off. Why does everyone just throw their hands up in advance, surrender and walk away? The bigger problem is that not all the Democrats are on board!

Seems like a done deal. Trump wants the plane. Trump gets the plane. Nobody stood in his way. youtu.be/RFHonN3_eLQ?...

There is a vacancy. An opening. No one in Congress is stepping up as a strong leader who can instigate change to get us out of this mess. It’s an opportunity. Someone can step into that space and lead the charge. Who might it be? I don’t care which side they come from. Who?

Even if we remember, it changes nothing. Who will act on it?

Thanks for the #’s. The skill of a politician is to march across the aisle & go and get the votes. Eight may be doable. But it definitely won’t occur if everyone throws their hands up in advance and say it can’t be done. Has anyone tried? D’s must drum up the votes. That’s how it works.

Nobody has tried. And yes, the tide IS turning. More Repubs and ppl in his inner circle are turning away from him. Two MAGA influencers: Loomer & Shapiro are publicly expressing their dismay with him. There are others.

He can be a jerk about it and he is. The bigger issue is that NO ONE stands up to him. Who is going to tell the big orange criminal baby that he can’t have his golden plane? Are they all just a bunch of simps? Not one brave one? Not a small group who will lock arms and stop him?

What happened to “Do not obey in advance?” or “Do not surrender in advance?” When you don’t have the votes you go and get them — and make deals/trades. That is the art of politics. Is Trump the only one who can twist arms to get his way? He’s the only one who can persuade?
