Glad he is laser-focused on America’s most pressing problem
JUST IN: Donald Trump says he is terminating all documents President Biden signed with an autopen.
The corrupt and deeply unpopular President also says Biden should be prosecuted for “perjury.”

Half Wit Koff!
Nobody, I repeat…nobody should be surprised by this. Steve Witkoff works for Donald Trump. Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. So of course Witkoff works for Putin as well. It’s despicable, it’s traitorous, but it sure the hell isn’t surprising.

Remember when Trump’s sons announced a made-in-the-USA smartphone and a new wireless service, Trump Mobile?
Three months later, the phone’s ship date keeps getting delayed with no explanation — although the company continues to collect $100 deposits.
The grift never ends.

The Trump Mobile phone is nowhere to be found after months of delay
Trump Mobile has posted conflicting photos of the phone and scrubbed mention of its “Made in the USA” promise.

Dim-Witkoff!
Good to see the U.S. and Ukraine agree to a joint peace plan. However, this plan is irrelevant.
Russia never proposed a legitimate plan. The 28 point “Dim-Witt” plan was an influence operation rather than a plan for a just and lasting peace.
