Trump says that, with his illegal mass layoffs, he’s closing “Democrat programs.” But programs like Social Security, education for children with disabilities, & clean water enforcement work for all Americans. If you want to repeal them, send a bill to Congress; if not, hands off.

He gave that ass crumble our money, as in US taxpayer money in the amount of $20 billion to prop up a pos Argentina regime. That money could’ve gone to food pantries here in the US and helped pay for ACA premiums instead of jacking them up into the stratosphere. Fuck Drumpf. Fuck Repubes.

It's particularly head-scratching that the Sec Def trying to unconstitutionally restrain the media comes from a "news" media background. And from the party that's been beating us over the head with the 1st amendment for years now.

Someone told him a “wartime president” gets reelected, so now he’s trying to drag us into war with Venezuela.

Under international law (UN Charter, Art. 51), force’s allowed only in self-defense. No war. No threat. Just 6 men killed for a tweet. That’s not strength, it’s lawless.

Voter from MA here: We should stop sending our tax dollars to the Feds. They're not using it for appropriated projects for our states so why should we continue to give them our money. I trust the blue state governors to properly distribute these funds among our states.

The funding DOES NOT go through the White House. This a*shole has not a single clue how the government works ... nor do the GOP in the House where the funding does go through.

So sick and tired of these sh*theads rewriting the Constitution to suit their personal needs.

Trump: "The funding for New York, and for every place, comes through the White House. And I'm very generous, and I was always very generous with New York. But I wouldn't be generous to a communist that's gonna take the money and throw it out the window."

I knew it was all about the show. He loved getting all that praise. Today he's back to his same old tricks, one being awarding Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom. All while Bibi burns the Middle East into oblivion.

What? The fake ephemeral bullshit narrow-ass deal Trump had others negotiate for him so he could do a twisted whirlwind one-day victory lap is falling apart in under 48 hours?

Came here to say just that.

We should also note that a Presidential Memorandum is NOT A LAW.

Worth mentioning, when the DOJ starts firing experienced prosecutors for not bending the knee and carrying out these political vendettas, it hurts America's ability to prosecute REAL criminals.

It isn't even a fake crown. It's the M in the word TIME.

How stupid is he?

In his post complaining about this pic he said he was wearing a crown, although a rather small one.

The "crown" is the M in TIME. The guy is an idiot.

Donald Trump really really doesn’t like this photo, so whatever you do… don’t share it. He would HATE that. 😈
