Funny how that works.

Can anyone identify anything beneficial to Americans that Trump has done in his second term? If you are inclined to say ”he’s deported illegal immigrants,” so did Obama and Biden without Trump’s violence and violations of civil rights. He destroys everything he touches. Builds nothing positive.

Senile bastard needs to be impeached along with his entire regime. (Which now includes 6 justices on the SC).
The US has become more dangerous under his poor leadership.

Lock up the war criminals.
According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?
Americans are struggling to pay their bills and afford groceries, and we've got a President who is asleep at the wheel.

Remember that California responded by passing Prop 50 last month.
Other states must also counteract Trump's attempt to steal the 2026 midterms.
This isn’t a race to the bottom. It’s a means of avoiding the bottom.
