Donald Trump is scared of being upstaged and outclassed by the world’s most powerful American — Pope Leo XIV.

Trump is posting more photos of dead birds and wind turbines today.
In one photo he captioned “Eagles going down!”, it’s actually a photo of a red kite from 2010 in Spain.
The other photo is from 2006 in Taiwan.

The words “Locked and loaded” coming from the mouth of an unstable, manic man with access to weapons would trigger an immediate 72-hour psychiatric hold if his family brought him to an emergency room worried about the possibility of violence.

Friendly reminder that Trump only cares about himself, so he would only care about bulletproof glass if he thought the next inauguration will be for him…
Trump on the ballroom: "It's bigger than I told you. It's, you know -- after realizing we're gonna do the inauguration in that building, it's got all bulletproof glass, it's got all drone, they call it drone-free roof. It's dronessss -- won't touch it. It's a big beautiful safe building."
