I don't care about foreign military conquests. I care about making rent. This Trump Admin & its Republican minions have utterly lost touch w/reality.

Impeach & Remove ALL of them. Now.

TRUMP: We were prepared to do a second strike if we needed. We're still prepared

Q: That's off the table now?

TRUMP: No it's not. If they don't behave, we will do a second strike

Q: Will Americans troops be on the ground?

TRUMP: It depends

$40 billion dollars to Argentina

$45 billion to ICE .

Kristi Noem gets private jets.

Kash Patel gets a fleet of BMWs.

Trump gets a multi million dollar ballroom.

Now billions more will be spent on war with Venezuela.

All while Americans can’t afford food, housing or healthcare.
