@realDonald Trump
I HAVE JUST GOTTEN THE HIGHEST POLL NUMBERS OF MY
"POLITICAL CAREER." While my great work on the Economy has not yet been fully appreciated, it will be! Things are really Rockin Stopping WARS and Foreign Relations seems to be a strong suit.
Also great, The Border and Stopping Crime. I predict that the Economy, with the already HIGHEST STOCK MARKET, EVER, and prices coming sharply down from the Biden disaster, will soon be at the top of the list. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Demented. His polling is heading towards an all-time low.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a ยฃ37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

MAGA cheerleader Marjorie Taylor Greene's sudden resignation from Congress shows MAGA is fraying at the seams. The Georgia representative claimed that if she had been cast aside by "MAGA Inc", it is also the case "many common Americans have been cast aside as well".

I canโt imagine that Johnson would ever โpayโ for the disastrous political mistakes of his premiership. But there is imho enough circumstantial evidence for the CPS to investigate thoroughly the nature of his links with Russia and the flow of money from Putinโs oligarchs to the Tory party re Brexit

Every single news story about Trump hosting MBS at the WH today should include the tremendously lucrative business deals the Saudis have done this year with Trump Org to enrich Trump and his family personally, which is the primary reason why this is happening.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
