Donald Trump is a terrible human being. No empathy, compassion or sympathy. Just blame and hurtful rhetoric. It’s been 10 days and I’m ready to leave the country….
Serious question for Republicans: has Donald Trump ever taken responsibility for anything bad that's ever happened while he was in charge? Has he ever shouldered the blame for anything that's gone wrong?

Can a President REALLY just delete a sentence from the Constitution with an executive order???? If we let this happen, we get what we deserve!

Trump has still not introduced a single plan or policy to lower grocery prices.
But he is taking action on day one to raise prices.

Trump just rescinded an Executive Order issued by President Biden to lower prescription drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

Someone should have paid attention. ANYONE????
Ben Stein was a traditional Republican who understood how economies work.
Trump’s Republican Party has no friggin clue.
We need to collectively stop the reflexive statements that Republicans are better for the economy. That is lazy and a lie.
#Trumponomics are terrible for America.

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

So much for helping regular people pay their bills…..
If Republicans kill the Affordable Care Act, republicans will never win another election fyi
In a little known fact, many of the subsidies that drive the Affordable Care Act are set to expire at the end of 2025.
Republicans have already signaled they will not extend them.
That means millions of Trump supporters are now on track to lose their health insurance.
Whoops.

Am resharing something I said already to another person: The first order of business is to breathe through our initial reactions. All of us, our thoughts are coming in fast and hot. Am in a similar boat. We breathe and we start to figure things out.

If anything, we’re probably under-imagining how disruptive and different the next decade or generation of America will be. I sketch out here two scenarios (not mutually exclusive) about the peril and challenge ahead: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/two-scenar...
