In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Art of the deal is raising the tariff to 145% then cutting it almost in half despite the fact that China has made no concessions and has completely ignored you. Xi just sits back at laughs at our orange clown.

Want To Gut Medicaid? It’s Not So Easy. Republicans are desperate to slash Medicaid—but a top plan would hit red states the hardest

How do you cut $880 billion from Medicaid without people knowing you’re cutting $880 billion from Medicaid? Republicans think they’ve found a way, and it relies on budgetary tricks and some major deception.

Don't let him fool you.

The president wants to misuse the federal government to carry out a political attack against ActBlue and small-dollar donors.

It's a calculated move to facilitate corruption and empower the ultra-wealthy donors that helped reelect him.

The
President
doesn’t
know
if
he
needs
to
uphold
the
Constitution.

This
shouldn’t
be
shocking
because
he
fomented
an
armed
insurrection.

So, yes, he should obviously be removed from office.
He’s violating the Constitution & nuking the economy.
