I asked AI to compare strategies that Hilter used to gain public support with those used by Trump. The results are chilling.

I put these two videos side by side about Trump's threat toward protests to his birthday parade: First Trump, and then Leavitt. The gaslighting is absurd.

I've been trying to understand what's happening in the US and the endgame. If the goal is to deport or kill 242 million people to create a country with only 100 million people, the things the Trump administration is doing make perfect sense.

Mr. Trump may not complain about Mr. Miller, but he does occasionally poke at his obsession with immigrants — a hostility that goes far beyond Mr. Trump's. In one meeting during the 2024 campaign, Mr. Trump said that if it was up to Mr. Miller there would be only 100 million people in this country, and they would all look like Mr. Miller, according to a person with knowledge of the comment. Karoline Leavitt, Mr. Trump's spokeswoman, denied the account.

Medicaid, which provides health coverage for the poor & disabled, pays for 41% of all births in this country & the bills for more than 1/2 of Americans in nursing homes.

If you have an aging parent in a nursing home - prepare to be savagely screwed by the GOP.

The ‘American First’ crowd is awfully quiet about Trump’s pledge to build free housing for 2 million Palestinians in some random country they don’t want to go to that also doesn’t want them. I’m sure this will all work out fine and that’s what people thought they were voting for.
