Leavitt is Trump’s Orwellian mouthpiece - up is down and salty is sweet. Gotta hand it to Trump, though - he lies, Leavitt and his other minions lie, and they criticize anyone who questions their absolutely insane and f’d up bs.

The cowardice is the main thing to remember.

This opinion piece is icing on the anti-billionaire cake all outraged citizens should be eating.

The behavior of many elites is repugnant and they should have far less influence in our government and our lives.

Lots of five year old rapists, drug dealers, and violent offenders in Minneapolis apparently….

Why is our country in the grip of such a deranged and mentally ill person?

This is the best and most understandable writing I’ve come across about who Trump really is and what makes him who he is. I used to become frustrated he would not do better and come to his senses for the benefit of the USA and the world. Now I understand this is what we get. Nothing more or better.

Trump makes everything about him.

Their only plan all along has been to kill it. Thats why they have no Plan B to protect or replace it, and never have.

Mr. President, you are a proven liar. If I just believe the opposite of whatever you say or post online, I know with 95% certainty what you really mean. 👍

What happened to the illegality of enriching yourself and your cronies based on your position of influence in government?

This is shameful, blatantly illegal behavior by Trump. It makes me sick. It should enrage EVERY citizen.

Trump appears to be projecting Republican approval across the population as a whole.

He’s either stupid, delusional, or thinks normal citizens won’t notice these details. Which is it?

Mr. President - you CAN tariff other countries provided you get congress to pass the tariff you want. I think that’s what the founders wanted.

I can understand why you’re frustrated. Checks and balances are not the friend of a King wannabe.

Politicians count on being able to bs an ignorant electorate. To counter this, the people need to take an interest in learning facts.

We are the ones electing the lunatics and liars as our representatives. It’s our collective fault we are in this terrible mess.

We know Trump lies 99.9% of the time, but he does it with 0% hesitation and never acknowledges the truth when corrected.

I wonder if he knows he’s lying or simply 100% delusional and truly believes he’s telling the truth. Whatever is going on, it’s bad, and we’re suffering because of it.

It is great to see regular citizens standing up for basic American values. Due process is the right of everyone stepping foot on our soil (even non-citizens).

ICE is twisted and anti-American.

He lies about virtually everything. Money. Donations. Crowd size. Abuse. Election results. And now, electrical wiring.

It is an ALTERNATE statistical fact, you mean, right?

It makes sense to me (an American) and it went viral in my mind a long time ago! 😢

Yes, I agree with many others here. Trump is a Russian asset. All of his open behavior, and a lot of evidence, forces one to this conclusion.

Why aren’t people in the streets over this? Why no mainstream media investigations? Corporate fear? Citizens are poorly served by media and politicians.

If you don’t believe in due process, you are not a patriot.

If you don’t believe in due process, you are not a patriot.

Trump is so immature. His Easter message is like an eight year old’s sarcasm when his feelings are hurt, something a good parent would shut down immediately. He was never put in his place then and it’s impossible to now.

It will take years and a new government if we are lucky.

Consumer sentiment plummets to second-lowest level on record going back to 1952 - CNN

Our stable genius has 1) ruined our economy; 2) ruined our reputation across the world; 3) every country on earth is thinking twice about our reliability; and 4), our standing as a world leader is finished.

Our new leadership team is focused on money and power for themselves. There is absolutely no concern for the greater good of others in the USA or the world beyond billionaires making profits and their exercise of power.

It’s sickening and corrupt. I’m ashamed of the current state of America.

I personally hate Trump but I didn’t see anything wrong with them talking to him. That’s what journalists are supposed to do. Talk to everyone. In the open. On background. And then give honest and fair reporting. Do you seriously believe they’re turning into Trump sycophants?
