Random quotes from a so-called President that everyone knows are lies when he says them, but rarely is he called on it.
President Trump, please address the American people and explain in a concise and transparent way, your trade policies and your use of tariffs.

I love source documentation! Thanks @sifill.bsky.social for sharing. 👇👇👇
So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

“Go Jack!”
This is a take-one-for-the-team moment.

Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it.

Go Jack!
Not if it happened on 5th Avenue…

They know the East Wing demolition is bad optics for them that’s why so many have suddenly “come to life” on this platform today armed w/inaccurate talking points about earlier renovations at the WH.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is insisting upon a public hearing if Congress wants to talk to him

Good. Why does the GOP want backroom secret questioning? What are Republicans afraid of?
