My dogs have noticed that I get up and do something when an appliance beeps. Now if I don’t get up, they come to check on me. Some people have service dogs; I have chore dogs.

Trump lied when he said the $1,776 warrior dividend he will give to service members will be coming from his tariffs, but in fact, it will be coming from housing allowances that they already receive. All he’s doing is re branding the name to con you into thinking he’s giving them extra cash. All BS!!

Once he’s gone, Trump will be like Voldemort — he who must not be named. Purge his name from everything. His descendants should change their names, too. They’re not welcome either.

Angry old man yells at nation
Serial liar lies again
Crazy coot goes all in for gaslighting
Fascistic sociopath can’t do math
He came, he yelled, he’s stupid
Demented dotard Donald is desperate
Stupidest student ever proves why he owns the title

Do you think Rump’s kids have enough self-awareness to be horrified and embarrassed by him, or are they too focused on him continuing to be a useful tool for their grifting?
