You mean, it’s a problem if the president flip-flops? This guy has never been a reliable partner. Every country that can is going to work around the United States. The damage to America is generational.
Trump ran on 'America first.' Now he views presidency as a 'worldwide situation'
Trump ran on 'America first.' Now he views presidency as a 'worldwide situation'
Trump has faced backlash from some Republicans for not focusing on domestic policy issues enough. Trump says the presidency has to be viewed as a 'worldwide situation, not locally.'

Wild how Trump just took America hard & fast into ruthless corruption, zero-f**ks-given cashing in. Plenty of bozos are on board with him — a grift operation in plain sight.
Trump is president of Trump Inc. the syndicate, and definitely not President of the United States. 🇺🇸

Trump's government "is actively working to worsen global warming and make communities less resilient to its effects. It is working to make the darkest futures more likely."
Trump is failing at his job, and his failure increases everyone's suffering.

America's political elite has decided that climate change is no longer that important or worth talking about, but rest assured, it's still happening, it's extremely bad, and yes, it is going to affect you here in America.

Trump has NO credibility. He flip flops so much, it’s not even noteworthy anymore — except that it actually does matter. His social toxicity means that only his actions are real; his word is worthless.
He’s a rat bastard. His administration is a ship of rats, a plague on the nation. 🇺🇸

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Oh cool, the Trump administration is outright lying to Americans. From the CDC.gov home page, this bit of extremely partisan, not-serving-all-Americans, propaganda. Meanwhile, Trump throws parties for millionaires, watches TV, and rakes in the grift from craven corporations revealed as corrupt.
