For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president
The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Like I said after the first one, if you are out on a boat in the gulf fishing, Trump may blow you up and kill you. Then he will say you had drugs on board. Maybe you did, maybe you didn’t - what he says is what goes and that’s the end of it. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump: "We're seeing that there are no ships in the ocean anymore ... no there are no boats. I wonder why? Meaning, no drugs are coming across. Probably stopping some fishermen too. To be honest, if I were a fisherman, I wouldn't want to go fishing either. 'Maybe they think I have drugs downstairs'"

This was a seat Trump carried by 11%, but Democratic nominee Catherine Drey has just won it by 10.4%.
This is the second legislative flip by Dems in Iowa this year. It also means the GOP loses its supermajority in Iowa’s senate.
