JD Vance says Trump never sleeps, calling staff at 2 a.m. and up at 6. At 79, chronic sleep deprivation wrecks judgment. Add a history of Adderall use and dozing off at important events, and America is being run on fumes.

Trump planning war with Venezuela to stay in power?
Trump thinks launching warships at Venezuela while threatening U.S. cities makes him a strongman.
In reality, it makes him a desperate fraud trying to cling to power. Dictators start wars when they can’t win elections.

Trump sold himself as the farmers’ friend, then slapped tariffs that now threaten to bankrupt a third of Arkansas farms.

The Epstein files aren’t just a scandal, they’re a mirror. That’s why Trump, DOJ, and GOP leaders are terrified of what we’ll see. Some call it whitewashing. I call it obstruction for predators in power.

Trump’s father had dementia. His sister had dementia. Now Trump slurs, rambles, and shuffles through speeches. This isn’t “toughness,” it’s decline. America can’t be run by a man who’d trade our future for a cheeseburger and a Diet Coke.

Trump calls the Epstein scandal a hoax. Tell that to the survivors who testified under oath. Tell that to the judges, the court records, the convictions. This is not a hoax. It is one of the darkest crimes of our time, and the victims refuse to be silenced.

Trump’s history lesson is… creative. The U.S. did not fight alongside China against an invader in the way he claims. Many Americans didn’t die in China’s “quest for victory.” But he sure sounds proud to send warm regards to Putin and Kim while rewriting history.

If Trump’s moves say anything, it’s that he’s scrambling, and clearly afraid his Epstein mess is closing in on him. His “GOOD NIGHT!!!” tantrum posts look less like presidential signoffs and more like the last flailing tweets of a cornered man. www.rawstory.com/molly-jong-f...

Trump is sending Guardsmen to patrol protests. Will they fire on fellow Americans? Follow illegal orders? No army can outnumber a nation that refuses to be silenced. This isn’t safety, it’s a dress rehearsal for authoritarian rule. Are you ready to watch freedom die?
