Moody’s downgraded the U.S.’s credit rating for the first time in history because the Republicans can’t get their fiscal house in order and Trump is playing whack-a-tariff with our biggest trading partners. Are we great yet, America?

Trump's goal as president is not to govern but rather to produce a tv show--one that is not about the country but rather is about him, a 24/7 hagiographic Truman Show-like extravaganza that is a physical manifestation of his narcissism, a show about a world that is entirely about him.

Just a theory:
Has anyone considered that Pete Hegseth’s wife, brother, and attorney might be propping him up because of his substance abuse? It would explain why he needs them looped into everything.
If you know anything about addiction, it tracks.
