My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

Attorney General Pam Bondi said she will ask a federal court to unseal more grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
But those transcripts, which could take weeks to release, would constitute only a fraction of the evidence the FBI has. wapo.st/40TzAVW

It will be a great day when 47 is gone, and I do believe it's coming. His usefulness is waning, the Epstein scandal isn't going away, and he's mentally and physically deteriorating. However, there will still be much to do. 1/2

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.
Shhh. Republicans are trying to repeal Obamacare again. Sort of.
They’re not branding it an Obamacare repeal this time around, but congressional Republicans are pursuing cuts to programs that are part of the 15-year-old health-care law.
