I'm certainly not the only one. But I've been saying this. The White House is losing the war over public opinion on the Abrego Garcia case badly. 26% is an astonishingly low number. Trump is losing a significant chunk of his core base on this. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Folks need to pause and put themselves in García’s shoes.
He fled El Salvador at 16—running from gangs, scared for his life. He didn’t risk it all just to join one of the most notorious gangs here.
Bukele cracked down—but as one local said: “We used to fear the gangs—now we fear the government.”

They’re coming for Medicaid based on a lie about “waste, fraud, and abuse.”
FIGHT BACK. TAKE A STAND.
They’ll gut care for the poor, sick, elderly & disabled—just to feed billionaires tax cut.
Social Security will be next.
If we don’t stop them now, we’ll lose everything.

Grandpa Trump is hallucinating again. He claims:

📌Grocery prices are “substantially down”
📌Eggs are easy to find and the price has dropped 92%
None of that is even remotely true.

Trump is now on Twitter posting doctored photos of the tattoos of Kilmar Garcia.
The whole world knows we have a deranged lunatic in the White House—and no one seems to know what to do about it.
He is so obviously mentally unwell that there is no longer any serious debate about whether that is so.
