Trump is responsible for the soybean and beef farmer chaos we are watching unfold right now. Now, he wants to buy beef from Argentina, hanging our farmers out to dry. Until the GOP breaks from him on his mission of economic arson, they're ArgentinaFirst

The Lying Thief in the W.H. said the people at the 'No Kings' rally were not representative of the country.

The latest count is 8.2 Mn people, not counting other countries.

Everything the old fool says is a blatant lie.
He is not representative of the US., he represents Putin & Netanyahu.

7,000,000 at the peaceful No Kings protests; zero deaths, zero violence. 10,000 at the violent J6 insurrection: five dead, 140 officers injured.
Trump is right, we are not the same.

The fact that there were no counterprotests shows that Trumpism and MAGA barely exist outside of social media. This movement has gradually collapsed completely within the population. — It’s difficult to fill the real world with Trump government troll bots.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Mike Johnson defended Trump, saying he was "using satire to make a point" with AI poop-bombing video.

The foul AI-generated clip was Trump’s response to Saturday’s “No Kings” protests.

If the President was Joe Biden and he posted a video of himself as king dropping feces on American protestors, the media would have a field day.

But because it’s Trump, they sane-wash these things.
