From WAPO, "U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach confirmed in October that the U.S. Mint was drafting $1 coins featuring the image of Trump on both sides to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the nation’s founding." Which President needs give up his place on Mt. Rushmore? To make room for Trump? #trump

Given that they have already put Trump's name on the Kennedy Center, I can only guess they keep a supply of letters available in different font types and sizes for new naming purposes. #trimp #narcicist #maga

Sooo, many lies and exaggerations. It is hard to count them. AI is a job creator—right! Clean Coal-right, Trillions in tariff income-right, price of gas—right, number of illegal immigrants-right. The only thing I heard that was right was military enlistments are up. #trump #maga #recession

As a US Army veteran, infantry officer I find it stupid that they're handing out Mexican border medals to troops that serve there. Give me a break! #trump #Departmentofwar #warriors

The Trump government cancelled a council's scheduled meeting and final report on recommendations to improve FEMA. This was a last minute decision. Everyone was in D.C. for the meeting. The White House wants to control what is recommended. So much for "independent council!" #trump #maga #fema #dhs

Flooding in the Pac NW now. "In its Daily Operations Brief published Thursday morning, FEMA notes that no action has been taken on a request for disaster aid submitted by Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly of Kansas on Aug. 19, nearly four months ago." #republicans #trump #fema #dhs

Quote from a NYT article about using AI to beef up our military’s capabilities and counter those of advisories like China, Quote: ”…an adversary who uses A.I. as part of a total war against the United States. “The speed of warfare will soon outpace human ability to control it,” #trump #ai #chips

www.latimes.com/california/s... So what is happening with the federal disaster recovery funds that should be disbursed to California for the LA Fire Storm? Is it political? Duh! Is it that FEMA now doesn't have the staff due to personnel cuts? So much winning! #trump #fema #maga #republicans
Newsom, seeking federal funds for L.A. wildfire recovery, is denied meeting with key Trump officials

Racist to the core—USA policy paper quoted, “It accused the European Union of stifling “political liberty,” warned that some NATO members risked becoming “majority non-European,” and said the U.S. should align with “patriotic European parties” — code for Europe’s far-right movements.” #trump #maga

Trump says affordability is a Democrat scam. What are people saying?
-49% are spending less on decorations due to tariffs, inflation
-21% say they can’t afford family traditions this year
-25% are forced to reduce spending on gifts and decorations alike

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/o... USA voters are “not smart.” They have little knowledge of our history or civics that elections help determine our public leaders. As a history major it is hard for me to comprehend the stupidity of the average citizen as to our history. #civics #elections #history

All these spokespersons for the administration that decry negative stories about what is being done by our government—how do they sleep at night? Who will hire them when they are “done” defending the indefensible actions of the Trump Administration? What will they tell their grandkids? #trump #maga

Will Trump continue to attend sporting events if the boos outnumber the applause? Time will tell—maybe it will be a poll that he can’t rig. I expect the WH would say, there were no boos, or they came from communist, socialist Democrats. #trump #maga #whitehouse

The problem that Trump and the Republicans have is that they have extremists running portions of the federal government. They won’t be running for election in 2026 or 2028, and they are focused on deporting people and gutting the federal government of staff and funding. #trump #maga #extremists

Drive up the cost of medical care and deny food to children and elderly. I guess the Republican’s are not running for election in 2026 after all! They can concentrate on culture war issues to their detriment. #trump #republicans #maga

The Republican “big tent” strategy has led to Nick Fuentes and his cohorts playing a bigger role in the party. They are part of what they call the Groyper Army. Christian nationalists and white nationalists loosely defined as associates of Fuentes. Pandora’s box has been opened! #trump #republicans

In the 60 Min. Interview Trump just kept on making up facts based on “what I think.” A simple one to check, “The stock market is double what it was last year at this time.” Truth, it is up 25%. He is a legend in his own mind. That includes all the peace treaties he has made happen. #trump #maga #duh
