Trump employs stochastic rhetoric. You never know what he will go through with or what he doesn’t.

This enables his supporters to say “that’s just Trump being Trump!” And makes it impossible to warn or prepare fully for his actions and requires us to “wait” to see what he actually “does, not says”.

Just an idea, but how about voting for the party that will NOT give terror financing Muslims from Qatar a MILITARY BASE on US soil?

And even better: How about stopping this and calling your representatives to tell them that YOU will replace them if they don't replace him?

You brought this to USA.

Every single Democrat in Congress should’ve already had a post up by now about the Trump admin approving a Qatari air base inside the US.

The man was 77 years old and his wife previously organized one of the local ‘No Kings’ protests. All he did was write ‘You Lack Values’ and got an intimidation visit from Desantis’s Gestapo.

“Mr. President, how are you feeling on your way to Walter Reed?”

“That was a very nasty question. I’m angry—the Nobel Peace Prize was rigged and stollen. Yesterday, I was studying for my cognitive test, and Eric kept eating the heads off the animal crackers.”
