They have actually taken that power away. Analysts say that by now, it's Miller, Vance and probably one other person really in charge. And they're feeding him AI vids. And he's incompetent.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

“.. Inside the White House, top advisers joke that they are ruling Congress with an “iron fist,” according to people who have heard the comments. Steve Bannon, the influential Trump ally, likened Congress to the Duma, the Russian assembly that is largely ceremonial.”

The people who voted for Trump didn’t think they were driving a truck over a street full of people, but in effect they were. Many, many Americans will die because of the Trump regime’s destruction of our public health system.

In the report of Trump’s physical today, it states he received the flu and COVID vaccines.

Tonight there’s a Friday Night Massacre at CDC.

Because the President of the United States of America will ALWAYS protect himself but hopes most of us die.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

They aren’t negotiating, they’re hollowing out *your* government, bc they hate it, bc they hate you. This is fascism rapidly consolidating power. They’re shooting the hostage (that’s you, America) like they were always going to. They wanted us to be their accomplices. This implodes in a month.

Typos aside, there is simply no such thing.

ECGs are not an indicator of age.

They literally do not contain that information, either directly or indirectly.

This is just made up gobbledygook.

So, my question is: why?

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...
