#DonTheCon's econ propagandist Kevin Hassett tried to tell #ThisWeek that "many prices are in fact LOWER" due to #DisasterDon's #tariffs (though the only product he could cite was gas... which is EXEMPT from his tariffs, and is in fact UP not down in most of the country.)

#MafiaDon swore up & down that he NEVER asked James Comey for his "loyalty" to HIM in that private Oval Office meeting as soon as he took office in 2017.
But we all KNOW that "loyalty to HIM" is all he cares about, but his rubes have yet to figure out it's a 1-way street.

"WITH REGARDS TO THE EPSTEIN FILES, no Administration has been more transparent." - WH Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt
She's right. Nixon, Reagan, even #Democrat hero FDR never released a single #Epstein email.
And what an interesting qualifier: "With regards to #Epstein"? 🤔

3 questions:
T**** says he "kicked #Epstein out of his club for hiring away young girls. WHY were "young girls" working for T****? What were their jobs? And (most importantly) WHY did it concern him that Epstein was hiring away young girls if he had no idea what Epstein was doing with/to them?" 🤔

REMEMBER when #CreamsicleCaligula defended #Putin by saying, "You think WE'RE so innocent?"
He has NEVER sided with America when it comes to the people whose favor he's currying.

T**** (unwittingly) endorsed a #PublicOption on Saturday, advocating we cut the big insurance companies out of the loop (b/c he thinks they support ObamaCare/Dems.)
Fine. Pass a public option. Call it #TrumpCare and point out it would "eradicate #ObamaCare". The #NarcissistInChief would sign that.

IF #Democrats retake Congress in 2026, they need to abolish the filibuster and pass a #PublicOption via a straight 51 vote majority. Call it "#TrumpCare" and tell him it would eradicate #ObamaCare. The #NarcissistInChief would sign that in a heartbeat (see tweet above.)

A few years back, I had to explain to my Conservative 50+ sister that "There is no such thing as #ObamaCare."
Her: "I will NEVER buy Obamacare."
Me: "You can't. There's no such thing."
Her: "Then why do they talk about it?"
Me: "It's not an insurance policy you can buy. It's just a Marketplace."
