If there is any proof that Trump is on Epstein's pedo list it his rant that this a hoax created by Obama and the Dems, This is an obvious defense in case public or legal pressure causes a leak or release of the evidence. HEB has used this defense for every crime he has committed

Elon's death toll just went up and in Texas his state. The doge cuts for the weather service meant there was no one working at night in the Austin office to relay all the info coming in to Texas officials. So add another 70 or so to the 80 Tesla deaths and 300,000 children killed by cuts to USAID

Predictions are that 165,000 more little kids will die due to Elon Musk's cuts to USAID. Meanwhile Memphis residents are having health problems due to his uncontrolled use of methane generators and his rockets are exploding and tearing holes in the ionsphere. This man says he has never hurt anyone

THINGS I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
1) Tariffs on Penguins
2) Tariffs on Australia when we have a trade SURPLUS not a trade deficit.
I would say we have chimpanzees running the WHITE HOUSE but that would be doing a disservice to chimpanzees.

2) then it was their recent attempt to portray Trump as a peacemaker instead of a bully. Now they are looking for a reason to call him a genius as he pushes the failed Trickle Down economics that destroys us every time it is applied. Character doesn't matter to them. A description and quote (cont)

There are presidents I have liked and some I didn't like. Some were smart and some were pretty dumb. BUT I have never been ashamed of a US president until today. We will live with this shame as a country for a long time
