Of the number of statements made by Trump that should warrant grave concern and rebuke, this one may be the most striking.

“I was saved by god to make America great again.”

The media and most politicians have entered an era of compliant darkness. We would be foolish to look to them for help.

Many local churches barely have the financial means to keep their lights on.

Although he should, this dope has no idea about the scale of the demand and the related problems that poses.

His acknowledgement of these issues reveals that he knows they are popular. Essentially, he is arguing that everyone must live with their repressive policies.

That would be sensible approach, which means it will not happen. One of the greatest disappointments of all of this has been the inability of the press to do the most simplest of things in pursuit of accountability.

You can't miss what you didn't look for.

Majority of his target audience lacks the ability to put millions, billions and trillions in any kind of context. It's all just a bunch of big numbers to them and if their king says it, it must be true.

The problem is that a good chunk of the bottom 50% actually think the 400 all pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps.

The idolization of wealth blinds their reality.

I missed the full interview, did she ask him how many 'murderers' they have apprehended?

If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)

Most of the goofs this is supposed to appeal to are not even practicing Christians. They just like the vibe and imagery of it all.

Hegseth thinks his role is to turn everything into a scene out of Friday Night Lights.

The dramatization of scripture is nauseating.

There are not simply enough "good paying jobs" for everyone, and they are going to be less of them due to economy and AI.

Most of these people started out privileged, or attained the status through connections. Instead of being humble and grateful, they wield their privilege like a stick against everyone else.

They think his psychotic behavior exudes strength because their moral weaknesses interfere with any comprehension of humanity, empathy and decency.

He thinks he's Louis XIV. If he knew what latin is he'd probably engrave the following on what's left of the White House...Nec pluribus impar.

I wonder what he thinks about the government having to provide assistance to those who do not make a living wage because their employer does not provide one, while the company enjoys government tax breaks?

These guys always attack the powerless while giving the powerful a pass. Gutless.

Once a song gets scooped up and put into some 1980's dude's idea of rock songs to bombard everyone with over and over at a sporting event, unfortunately.

The biggest threat to our nation are the millions of passive and active Trump supporters who either believe everything the regime tells them, or even if they don't, still support it.

As a late boomer, the classic rock playlist has become annoying. I have been listening to these same songs for over a half century. Enough. Please.

After another night of parties at his Palm Beach country club followed by a second round of golf, Emperor Nero J. Trump Caligula will return to DC to resume work on his gilded $350 million ballroom.
