Sure, I could comment on the latest despicable things he said, but I can’t get past his lapel pins. Is he actually wearing a little pin of himself? 😳🙄

One of the more surreal patterns in Trump's insane claims is that he loves insisting some catastrophic outcome will occur unless we immediately do X, without explaining why nothing bad happened for 250 years when we weren't doing X.
Trump: "If we don't take Greenland, you're gonna have Russia or China as your next door neighbor. That's not going to happen."

Trump bragging about his $400 million ballroom and getting up to admire the construction site as he meets with oil company executives looking to plunder Venezuela with money from US taxpayers basically sums up this entire admin perfectly.

Trump: "We are going to do something on Greenland whether they like it or not. Because if we don't do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland."

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.
🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Stop the lies.

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

Jonathan Ross reportedly had a history of escalating arrests with violent tactics. trib.al/PhkzLrq

In both Good's case and his altercation last June, Ross drew his weapon to threaten his target when they did not immediately comply with his commands. In one case, that decision was deadly.

The United States needed to acquire Greenland, Trump says, “because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success.”

I assume that firing a weapon while trying to video a scene with a cellphone is against protocol.

So boots on the ground? The oil fields are very far from the ports and refineries.
Q: Did you provide security guarantees to the oil executives for Venezuela?

TRUMP: They will have those guarantees, yes

Trump was asked to comment on his meeting with Petro, he asked "which country??", he was told - Colombia. Trump: "I'm looking forward to meeting him and Marco knows more since he is married to a woman from Colombia, not Columbia University..and I like the country better than university, i must say"

There won’t be a White House when Trump is finished. It’ll be Mar-a-Lago North.

Trump’s planning to add a 2nd story to the West Wing to “restore symmetry” after his ballroom is done.

And we’re supposed to believe it’s paid for by private donors who expect nothing in return. Nothing to see here.

One day after ICE killed a mom in Minneapolis, Trump's agents shot two more people in Portland.

How does Trump and his team respond?

Not remorse. Not empathy. Just declaring the cases closed before the facts come to light, then covering them up by blocking local investigators.

Alfred Nobel specifically stated in his will that once the prize has been awarded it can’t be changed. But if Trump is so pathetic that he wants to take Machado’s medal, and she’s so desperate and weak that she will give it to him, let the world watch that disgraceful charade.
