Farmers overwhelmingly backed Trump—now they’re feeling the pain and speaking up. Here’s the thing: If you got grants and contracts under Biden, why vote for Trump—who did nothing for you? It’s easier to be angry than well-informed. Harris voters chose their self-interest.

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here. He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac. This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.
