Have you called Trump a "fascist?" If so, he might officially designate you a "terrorist."
Trump administration dramatically ramps up investigations of liberals and left-leaning groups under the guise of countering "domestic terrorism."

His plans for the space agency include a bigger emphasis on commercialization.
And he's also an associate of Elon Musk, having flown twice on SpaceX launches.

This is the most narcissistic, petty display ever.
It’s so obvious Trump is unwell, but what I don’t get is how this is allowed to happen to the people’s house. He’s a temporary occupant. He doesn’t own the joint.

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."
