We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

To be clear, the orange felon fired the Head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics hours after producing a truthful jobs report because he wants to hide how badly he’s crashing the economy and he’ll install one of his minions to produce fake numbers from now on. Fascism.

Republicans in Congress authorized Trump to make Americans pay 50% more for anything they buy from Brazil because they are prosecuting his friend. None of this is possible without their acquiescence, and not one has spoken out against them so they own every bit of every tariff.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

How DARE you. How dare you call Americans who are worried about their financial future in the midst of this chaos (that you caused) “weak and stupid”. Is it really weak and stupid to not trust the economy to someone who declared bankruptcy 6 times?
