The good news: the president has pardoned the turkey.
The bad news: two hours later the turkey was arrested for running a ponzi scheme and committing acts of gross sexual imposition.

Turned off America’s soft power like a light switch. We now cringe at antics in the shadow of what once was.
We must reset. Replace Mike Johnson ASAP so it can begin.

Turns out the deal Trump bragged about, the one where China would buy 12 million metric tons of US soybeans by year end, was never an actual deal.
It was a “concept” of a deal.

The Trump regime can hide the data on rising joblessness and a decking GDP, but that won’t change the economic slide that Americans are experiencing.

This is the first time in history that the Jobs Report and the GDP Report have been canceled at the same time.
If they were good, Trump wouldn’t hide them.
It’s obvious that we don’t have a booming economy.
Many think that Trump’s economy is a bust.
