I have to go on record with the assertion our current president is an idiot.

Look at these men. They are ashamed of themselves as they should be. They are standing here while the president calls their professional colleague a “stupid person.”
I don’t care if you think you’ll lose access. You need to speak up. Decent Americans are tired of this and disgusted with all of you.

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

If Joe Biden had claimed that he redesigned the hulls of Coast Guard cutters, we'd be way over in 25th amendment territory.
With Trump, it's so common that most Americans don't even notice it now.

Trump during his Thanksgiving call with service members: "We're ordered a lot of Coast Guard cutters. Brand new, beautiful, the best machines in the world. I'm a looks person. I wanted the hull to be perfect. You know, I sort of redesigned the hull a little bit. The hulls. But we ordered a lot."

I want to know where it's written, that at 49.8% popular vote, the laws don't apply to you, or your team.
Also where 49.8% allows you to gut the government and constitutional rights of those who voted you in.

A country where the president can ask election officials to 'find' another 11,780 votes and not be prosecuted, while citizens are brutalized for exercising their constitutional rights is not a nation of laws.
THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE.

And they spend a lot of money on hotels, food, souvenirs, etc.

It didn’t save money—it burned it.
Analysts estimate DOGE’s chaos cost taxpayers around $135 billion, from mass firings to lost tax revenue.

Trump has turned retribution into a governing principle.
Reuters identified at least 470 people, organizations, institutions, and other entities targeted for retribution.
That's an average of more than one a day since Trump took office.

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies:

So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?
