2/2 At least add some wording, prefacing that it is just smoke, a whisp of vapor. Nothing tangible. There's no department. There's no structure. There're no proposals. It's not LEGAL. No office. No administration. Just the richest numbskull in the world, and a team of inexperienced suck-ups.
February 5, 2025 at 2:18 PM
1/2 Everyone, from individuals to all of the media, let's start here. Stop referring to "it" as DOGE. Don't use the word/acronym, because it does not even EXIST! You give it validity when you do that. We refer to KNOWN criminals and their KNOWN criminal acts as alleged.

"This isn’t a ‘trade war’ with Canada, or Mexico, or China — this is about fentanyl," said Interior Secretary Douglas Burgum on Fox News. "We’ve had a mass invasion of our country."

43 pounds of fentanyl was sized at Canada border in 2024.

Can you see the lie by yourself, or do you need a picture?

CNN announces Mexico "consented" to put troops on their northern border to stem the flow of fentanyl and migrants, but OMIT that Trump agreed to take measures to keep automatic weapons FROM AMERICA from crossing the border into Mexico. Another crappy job of reporting, CNN.

3/3 They see him as someone unhinged, uncaring about Americans other than the rich, uneducated. It seems they have a sharper lens and more cogent mind from a distance, than Americans who decided to back this "organic mistake" of a President.
February 3, 2025 at 3:03 PM
2/3 Is the current President and administration respected more than the previous? No. They are seen as "stupid", "idiots", and disrespected. To them, Americans are poorly understood, as questions abound as to how they could support this man as President, again.
February 3, 2025 at 3:02 PM
Being in Bogota, Colombia for two weeks, I am getting much feedback from locals, and those from other nations traveling here about America. Suffice it to say that NONE OF IT IS POSITIVE. Is America respected again? No. It is condemnation and ridicule I am getting.
