Had he sung Maggie May he might not have gotten arrested. But a disco song from 1978? Definitely risky.

That IS America. And holding a cute little sign won’t change that. Nor will going on CNN or MSNBC (looking at you JB).

It appears ICE/CBP chased a vehicle, conducted a dangerous maneuver to intentionally cause a crash, then later tear-gassed bystanders.

Better solution: never allow *anyone* to be rich enough to fund endless frivolous lawsuits. Tax the rich. The world does not need billionaires, they serve no purpose, and no one needs to be that rich. Elon Musk could end homelessness in SF without becoming homeless himself.

I think this might be a first.

A sitting president promoting the book of a foreign head of government and writing a blurb for the book that’s quoted on the cover.

(Not sure about the son of a sitting President writing a forward — but not many are well-known enough to do that)

A screenshot of a social media post by Donald J. Trump (with a checkmark badge). The post reads:

“Giorgia Meloni, the GREAT Prime Minister of Italy, has written a new Book, ‘I Am Giorgia: My Roots, My Principles.’ Giorgia is doing an incredible job for the wonderful people of Italy, and this Book explores her journey of Faith, Family, and Love of Country, which gave her the Wisdom and Courage required to serve her Nation, and make her people proud. She is an inspiration to all. Get your copy today! a.co/d/2OsJj97”

Below that text is an image of the book cover. The top of the cover says “FOREWORD BY DONALD TRUMP JR”. The main visual is a black-and-white portrait of Giorgia Meloni looking directly at the camera, resting her face on one hand. At the bottom of the cover is the title “I AM GIORGIA” in red letters. On the right side, on the cover, there is a red circle with white text:

“Meloni is a FANTASTIC leader.”
— DONALD J. TRUMP

It drives me crazy to hear "this not what we voted for." Of course it is what they voted for, their only excuse is that they were so enamored with the white nationalism, the bigotry and misogyny that they tuned out everything else Trump said.
