Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

FYI, if you cannot claim any of the following: - secured billions in federal contracts - received inside information on when to capitalize on stock market corrections - been granted exemptions on tariffs …then you are NOT the beneficiary of Trump’s agenda. You are the victim.

Trump’s tariffs are hitting farmers hard — in ways you might not expect. This honey farmer voted for Trump 3X — now costs are through the roof, hiring’s frozen, and he’s lost $150K in government contracts. Asked if he regrets his 2024 vote? “Perhaps I should’ve considered other options.” NO SHIT!

“He’s not a monster. He just plays one in the White House.” Whether it’s Bill Maher’s obsequious attempt to normalize Trump, or Tucker Carlson’s fawning over Putin, weak men have been capitulating to power since the beginning of time.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

“J. D. Vance’s selection as Trump’s running mate suggests that Vance’s benefactor, Peter Thiel, is running the show, reprising an aborted effort to run the show from 2016. He seems to have learned from his mistakes.” By @davetroy.com, 7/30/24 1/

First came the market manipulation. Now come the bribes.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

This is what happens when too many people would rather hurt others than help themselves. Literally nobody in America is benefitting from this.

We warned these idiots. Pleaded with them. Begged them to take his words and intentions seriously. They laughed. Called us hysterical. Now here they are…with their “I never thought he’d eat my face as well” reactions. apnews.com/article/trum...

Trump’s economy: Imagine you have the nicest, sturdiest house on the block. You want to improve a few things, so you hire a builder to make enhancements. The builder has his own agenda. He rips your house down to its studs. Now you’re homeless and terrified you’ll never get your house back.
