Even putting aside that he’s president, he’s worth like billions of dollars now. What the fuck is he doing?

"I had a perfect score [on my cognitive exam]...That made me well good" is one hell of a quote.

Trump: "I also did a cognitive exam. Which is always very risky because if I didn't do well, you'd be the first to be blaring it and I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score. That made me well good ... not the easiest test."

It's crazy how this guy's whole persona is made up to act like a fool for who he assumes are the dumbest hicks in the world. He was a Rhodes Scholar.

Donald, don’t go to your IV treatments anymore. It’s too much liquid. It’s too many different things going into your horrendous decomposing body at too big a number. What do you have to lose?

Trump on autism: "Obviously there is something that is artificially I think induced, whether it's vaccines in terms of these massive vaccines that are twice the size of a jar like that ... I would say don't take Tylenol if you're pregnant. What do you have to lose?"

Like, there is plenty other things to hang around the necks of the GOP in the midterms. You can take the win on improving healthcare.

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

there was a ceasefire when trump came in. he let israel blow that up, let famine spread, let his goons murder starving people, before using the power he'd had since he took office. grotesque to call this peacemaking. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/us/politics/trump-mideast-visit-israel-gaza.html

(from the nyt obvi) With Mideast Deal, Trump Is on the Brink of a Major Diplomatic Accomplishment

For President Trump, success in brokering a cease-fire is the ultimate test of his self-described goal as a deal maker and a peacemaker.

I know it has been a few years now but Steve Scalise was caught telling a Neo-Nazi convention that they should vote for him because he would govern like David Duke and nothing happened to him.

JoyousPanther @joyouspanther.bsky.social · 16h

Is this the same message he would tell his friends at the Neo-Nazi conventions?

He built concentration camps, Steve.
