71 million views. Another brilliant PR move by the outstanding WH comms team. They owned the libs again by attacking and demeaning Sabrina just because she asked them not to steal her music for one of their sick deportation videos. Thanks for the new voters.

I certainly didn’t expect to spend my retirement years taking to the streets and fighting for our democracy! But we have no choice, especially if we care about our children and all future generations. Thank you, @dpfrazier22.bsky.social

Gross.
In the 10 months since President Trump retook office, the RNC has spent at least $796,513 at Trump’s hotels and country clubs.
That means Trump is profiting from everyday donors who thought their money was going to help elect candidates.
