A decent human sees thousands will die from the cutoff of aid and asks, "What can I do to fix this?" Donald Trump asks, "How can we hide the evidence, and who can we fire?" The difference between empathy and apathy is glaring. Priorities matter. #CompassionOverCorruption #HumanityFirstTrump

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.
