Unfit for Office
Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

So a number of America’s 93 U.S. Attorneys — top federal prosecutors in districts around the country — have been notified they are being terminated.
In Trump 1.0, then-AG Jeff Sessions asked Obama-appointed U.S. Attorneys to resign.
In Trump 2.0, terminations are coming from White House.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems
How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

Why did Trump have himself put in charge of the Kennedy Center?
Because he knows that the educated and cultured people who patronize it despise him.
So he seeks revenge. And he knows that his being in charge of the center will destroy it.
