This is insane.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

"Yes, yes, it *is* sad that you lost the family farm, but have you heard about the big beautiful ballroom that President Trump is building at the White House? It's going cost a quarter of a billion dollars! Yes, billion, with a b. ... What? ... No, you can't come see it. What a stupid question."

"Go fuck yourself" is his middle name.

Not an ounce of dignity.

The lowest of the low.

You'd think he would have learned by now that he can't manipulate the rest of the world the way he manipulates here.

They don't bend to his lies and dictates.

Without lies, he'd have nothing to say.

one of those east coast media bias stories. if new jersey shut down 95 after the military wanted to fire artillery over the highway despite safety concerns from the governor and then some of it accidentally blew up, i think it'd be a bigger story.

This image appears to ridicule the march. It's not as playful as it seemed on my first viewing.

Of course he did. He so desperately wants to be in the Dictator Club.

So I guess bragging about ending the war in Gaza was a bit premature...

He is such a spineless, sycophantic toady.
Smarmy and mealy-mouthed.

It's just more of the same from him. He's been shitting on the country for years.

He's a classless, clueless, pathetic 12 year-old brat with daddy issues in an old man's body.

Adam, you aren't seriously surprised, are you?

Of course he can't be trusted.

And now he's trying to win his boyfriend back after not getting an invite to the Big Three's Soiree in September. He'll say anything to sit at the cool kids' table.

He doesn't care. They are not human to him.

Today he cut off aid to Columbia.

And he is saying exactly what the feckless fuhrer told him to say.

This will be the dealbreaker that will allow the FF to blame Ukraine, stop our support, and make up with his boyfriend.
