Answering a question from a reporter whether he has to uphold the Constitution and due process, Donald Trump said “I don’t know.”
He is in direct violation of his oath of office to uphold the Constitution.

The beautiful and simple fireplace in the Oval Office was opened in the 1935 to provide a setting for Franklin D. Roosevelt's Fireside Chats. Now, in 2025, Trump added these gaudy pieces of very bright gold on that same fireplace. Why?

Donald Trump’s vanity knows no bounds. These pictures show two others, Chris Helmsworth and Muhammed Ali who report the same height and weight as Trump claims after his annual physical.

Burning coal is a large source of dirty air and climate change. Now Donald Trump is trying to subsidize coal with taxpayer dollars and destroy renewable energy production for electricity, even though it is cheaper (already) to utilize than coal. Why? For his donors?

It is cheaper to build solar panels or cluster of wind turbines and connect them to the grid than to keep operating coal plants

The Trump Administration is a combination of vengeance, malice and incompetence. How long will it take out for our country to return to a thriving economy and any moral leadership?

Donald Trump claims he is very concerned about anti-Semitism and terrorism. As far as we know, he still has not called the Governor of Pennsylvania who was victim of arson and attempted murder. Does his empathy only extend to Republicans?

Trump’s tariffs are already raising prices and hence inflation in the longer term. The Republicans last enacted damaging tariffs (Smoot-Hawley) during the 1930s that contributed to the Depression.

In 2016 when Trump was elected, I recorded a song called “Walls" about building bridges not walls between people and countries. Pope Francis was the strongest international voice for peace and compassion.

I deeply mourn the death of Pope Francis. He was a man of great intellect, grace, and humility. He elevated women for their roles in the Church. He criticized politicians and spoke his mind about public policy, particularly about wars and immigration.

The stupidity of Donald Trump’s trade policies is shocking. Mexico and Canada are our neighbors and our closest trade partners. His administration negotiated the last trade deal with them. He is deliberately harming our allies, our economy and is going to increase inflation for our country.

Each time Donald Trump flies to his golf resort, it costs the taxpayers over $13 million. What if we pay him to stay there and he can appoint some sane Republican to set policy that doesn’t destroy our alliances and send the country into economic chaos.
