 today. I’m eager to begin this chapter in strengthening the U.S.–South Africa partnership.  

I look forward to advancing U.S. priorities that build a safer, stronger, and more prosperous America, grounded in American exceptionalism and shared opportunity.

Here’s a version that keeps the strong, assertive tone, but is grammatically clean in English:
As President, I do not need to return to Congress to obtain approval for tariffs. That authority was granted in multiple forms many years ago, and it has now been reaffirmed by a Supreme Court decision.

Stop trying to make like there's some kind of grand strategy or secret plan at work. It's not that. Truly. It's the simplest thing you can possibly imagine.

Don't think "four-dimensional chess"

Think "toddler + cheerios"

Are y’all seeing what’s happening in Georgia?! The State Election Board just confirmed that Elon Musk’s PAC sent out partially pre‑filled absentee ballot applications β€” an actual election violation. This feels like the tip of the iceberg.

What Supreme Court ruling against Trump tariffs means for your money The Supreme Court ruled against a centerpiece of President Donald Trump's tariff agenda on Friday. Consumers could save money as a result, economists said.

Trump is taking ordinary Americans for a ride.

I hit my PB on my 5km run at gym tonight at 7pm, got rewarded with a double rainbow. Hit my PB weight-wise (no I'm not on Ozympic - just blood, sweat & tears like olden days FYI). If any bitches think they're gonna f@ck with me this week, they've got something coming. Famous last words. ##capetown

If the Epstein oversight committee refuses to have public hearings with Clinton, he should agree to be interviewed by someone like R Maddow on national television or maybe a Netflix special. Tell everything, name everyone.

Prosecutors Began Investigating Renee Good’s Killing. Washington Told Them to Stop.

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.
