www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/o... USA voters are “not smart.” They have little knowledge of our history or civics that elections help determine our public leaders. As a history major it is hard for me to comprehend the stupidity of the average citizen as to our history. #civics #elections #history

Why doesn’t Trump just order his puppet Pam to release the Epstein files. No need for a vote. Nothing to hide! #trump #maga #republican

All these spokespersons for the administration that decry negative stories about what is being done by our government—how do they sleep at night? Who will hire them when they are “done” defending the indefensible actions of the Trump Administration? What will they tell their grandkids? #trump #maga

If Trump allows oil, drilling off the coast of California. Then when there's an oil spill, they can name it after him. #trump #maga #republicans

Will Trump continue to attend sporting events if the boos outnumber the applause? Time will tell—maybe it will be a poll that he can’t rig. I expect the WH would say, there were no boos, or they came from communist, socialist Democrats. #trump #maga #whitehouse

The problem that Trump and the Republicans have is that they have extremists running portions of the federal government. They won’t be running for election in 2026 or 2028, and they are focused on deporting people and gutting the federal government of staff and funding. #trump #maga #extremists

Drive up the cost of medical care and deny food to children and elderly. I guess the Republican’s are not running for election in 2026 after all! They can concentrate on culture war issues to their detriment. #trump #republicans #maga

The Republican health care plan is, “Great healthcare for us, nothing for you.” It is called Congress. Kill Obama Care and they win! They have no alternative plan. #trump #maga #republicans #bigbeautifulbill

The Republican “big tent” strategy has led to Nick Fuentes and his cohorts playing a bigger role in the party. They are part of what they call the Groyper Army. Christian nationalists and white nationalists loosely defined as associates of Fuentes. Pandora’s box has been opened! #trump #republicans

In the 60 Min. Interview Trump just kept on making up facts based on “what I think.” A simple one to check, “The stock market is double what it was last year at this time.” Truth, it is up 25%. He is a legend in his own mind. That includes all the peace treaties he has made happen. #trump #maga #duh

The Trump “no more wars” President is considering attacking another nation—because he can. Mercurial is right. How can anyone trust what he says? watch what he is going to do in the coming days. #trump #maga #republicans

When gambling was legalized for sports—I knew it would not end well. And, we are only at the beginning of a tidal wave of bets being made by players and coaches. A Receiver drops a catch? How can that be “caught” as a crime. You can throw a game in many different ways. #gambling #sports

Coffee prices? Beef prices are up 50% this year. The COLA for Social Security recipients will be 2.8%. Republicans keep thinking things are going well—maybe not! Some are hearing from constituents about their health care costs going up due to the Big Beautiful Bill! #trump #taxes #medical #inflation

Trump may name the ballroom after himself, but it won’t last a 1,000 years. There is a good chance it will be torn down in the future-following all the investigations that will come following 2028. So many laws and norms are being broken. #theft #grift #trump #trumpfamily

Did anyone else see the Aladin’s Lamp Candelabra on Trump’s desk during a news conference? I guess he got his decorating experience from casinos, so what is normal or looks good—to him is a bit “strange” to others. #trump

Trump said, “During the war, you can't have elections? So let me just see, three and a half years from now, if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections? That's good" Hey Bud, elections have always been held during war. Civics class please for POTUS. #trump #idiot #maga #republicans

White House:

Then there is the “Fake News” from the White House. Declaring victory for everything they do, but then… “The vast majority of Americans shouldn’t expect to see any material changes to their pharmacy bill on account of Pfizer’s White House agreement.” But, but, Trump just keeps winning! #trump #maga

Trump’s priorities: The administration has put in guardrails to ensure Trump’s trade and immigration enforcement arms remain staffed, and members of Congress will continue to be paid are off. And Fox News reports that construction of Trump’s new White House ballroom will not be affected. #trump
