This new found bravery is due to Trump’s plummeting poll numbers, along with obvious signs of his health failing.
He has become what he detests the most.

Kristi Noem claimed a few months ago that they arrested the girlfriend of the leader of Antifa and that was going to lead to the prosecution of the entire “organization.” What happened with that? Any updates?

Usually, when I need an appointment at the VA, I can get one within 2 weeks. Today, I called for an appointment and the next available is in May, 2026. Firing 35K people will do that. The Trump administration hates veterans.

I want every single solitary Republican in every elected office in every corner of this country to be asked about Donald Trump’s post about Rob Reiner.
They like to cloak themselves in religion…
Then read it to them.
Don’t let them say they “didn’t see it.”
Let them “defend” it.

Many are not a fan of you, Trump
You are a friend of Russia and controlled by Russia
You are deranged and demonstrate this daily
So Rob Reiner was right … on all counts.
I guess I won’t get into the US now, so sad.

Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?
TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.
