Trump always looking to be the center of the media’s attention. Taking back minutes. Trump suffers no shame.

With the rage out of the White House, Johnson giving the house another week off and the No Kings protest on the 18th I expect Miller and Trump to use the protests to create their metaphorical Reichstag Fire in order to declare martial law.

Well if Vought and Miller are serious about their government coup they are going to have to get rid of Trump. Trump is a malignant narcissist suffering from dementia. Trump is impulsive and rarely coherent for more than a sentence. Trump is a liability to their coup and worse to our country

I have got to find the transcript for the Trump Quantico speech. Confabulations with a lot of self congratulations and adjectives. Holy crap.

Such an accurate and succinct description of Trump. His brain is not OK.
Donald Trump, like the Bourbon dynasty, has “learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” His defining features—aside from narcissism—are his willful, cringeworthy ignorance and his unremitting hunger for vengeance.

What would Kirk do? In his own words he would not shut down free speech.
“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said.

“It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational." - Charlie Kirk
In order to preserve the Second Amendment Kirk found some gun deaths acceptable.

“There are two doors here,” he said. “Door number one, pass it, largest tax cut in the history of America, door number two, don’t pass it, largest tax increase; $4.3 trillion, that’s how much taxes will go up on ordinary Americans, and not just (on) the rich, I know they’re going to tell you that.”

Just like in 2017 Trump could have done nothing on the economy and taken credit for the good economy the previous administration left him. But now he is going to have to find someone to blame. Probably the previous administration.

Potash is essential for modern agriculture.
**Eighty percent** of the potash used on American farms comes from mines in *Saskatchewan*.

Trump won’t admit it, but Canadian potash fuels American agriculture
More than 80 per cent of the potash used by U.S. farmers comes from Canadian mines, and the costs could skyrocket should tariffs happen

Yep. They get us to battle “others” who exist is similar or lesser financial situations while buying influence over policy makers.

When asked if it was too early to blame DEI initiatives, air traffic controllers or even the helicopter pilots and why. Trump asserted that it wasn’t because, “I have common sense."
“Common sense” is just not a good reason for belief. Especially when assigning blame. Trump’s Brain is not Okay.
