Meidas:”Trump’s words and actions aren’t just unbecoming of the presidency; they raise urgent questions about his ability to perform the job. The cruelty, the distractions, the slurs, the lies, they’re all symptoms of a presidency at its breaking point.

Trump & Hegseth defied the rules of war in killing 2 defenseless survivors of a “drug boat” drone attack in SA.

Crypto isn’t digital money. It is “a tool for financial predators, and the Trump administration is extremely predator-friendly. Ask Changpeng Zhao, founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, who was found guilty of violating U.S. money-laundering laws — then pardoned by Trump.”
Surprise!

Reuters: “TRUMP DOES NOT WANT TO EXECUTE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, WHITE HOUSE SAYS,” an astonishing sentence to see coming from the government of the United States of America.”
Trump is becoming unhinged, day by day. He has lost normal judgement, much less Presidential behavior.

“Quiet, Piggy.”We shouldn’t forget that the president of the United States uttered those words. At a time when women were fighting for justice, the man who cut himself out of the investigation into wrongdoing had that to say about a woman (journalist)who was simply trying to do her job.
