I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

Ms Crockett broke it ALL the way down! #Queen
Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I have mixed feelings about Trump returning to WNC today. The misinformation he and his supporters spread post-Helene was dangerous and divided ppl when on the ground folks just needed help. But I know he has the pwr to direct more aid & resources there too. The good folks there need help. #WNC
