Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

💯

Well done.

Glad to hear it! I didn’t realize you weren’t posting anymore. 👏

Make sure your retirement account doesn’t contain any TSLA stock. Divest

Meta agrees to pay Trump $25 million to settle lawsuit over Facebook and Instagram suspensions Meta agreed to pay President Trump $25 million to settle a 2021 federal lawsuit alleging First Amendment violations after his suspension from Facebook and Instagram in the wake of the Jan. 6 attack.
