Very scared of Kennedy pick. He seems unstable, ill-informed, disloyal, not charismatic or funny, his preachings erratic and dangerous; he states outfight lies; like musk he invest too much energy into this masculinity charade which ironically makes him appear unmanly, weak, and without direction

Trump has disappeared. I think he is terrified because he has no plans other than to deceive. Like call with Mexican president. I fixed it. 1,2,3 boom! No more border crossings. Even his supporters won’t buy it
