Aaron, I don’t expect an actual reply, but since I cannot use Venmo, is there any other way that I can Donate $ to you❓💸🤷🏻‍♀️

Your Truthful reporting keeps me informed. & even tho a lot of the info is stressful, with you relaying it, I’m able to remain calm & focused.

I’m sure you hear it a lot, but PLEASE, also TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

You’re an amazing person in general, and I, along with I’m sure countless others, want you to remain healthy, sane, positive, & still enjoy living YOUR life.👍🏻🫂💜

I’m beginning to actually believe that this president is being kept uninformed and totally a puppet at this point. Is either a good actor, which I seriously doubt… Or besides the obvious answer we all have that he’s pure evil, he’s uninformed and honestly believes himself. If he believes himself because he’s uninformed and he feels, he’s telling the truth and not spewing lies then I’m even more frightened than I am with the alternative. And so should we all be‼️‼️

It is very obvious that he has dementia and the people he hired are pulling all the strings. He is the name and the face of the show, but he doesn’t know anything behind the scenes.

Yes, 🌮 is the distraction & was needed for the cult following. He’s only in it to grift & stay out of jail.

Thiel forced JD Vance on the ticket so he could be a puppet master. Vought & Heritage Foundation are pulling the strings as well.

Yes, and during Trump 1.0, he was easier to steer in a direction that made a little bit of compassionate sense. Now, with that serpent Miller whispering in his ear, like Voldemort's Nagini, his extremism gets refreshed daily.

Trump hates being criticized and he sees the massive blowback to this bill. Cross fingers that he will rein in the cruelty to Americans and esp. his own MAGAs, even though he is oblivious to his cruelty to others.

Expand full comment
Brianna's avatar

Even Trump 1.0 had an overall governmental body that at least tried to keep him in check (somewhat). Not saying it was all butterflies and rainbows, but now it is just out of control.

Just like a teenager, he can’t take criticism and his MAGA cult fall into the same trap. Even they can’t criticize him. It all just feeds into his ego.

It's difficult to listen to his rambling. It's generally the same thing all the time. He relates his victimization, compliments himself, and most often criticizes someone.

Trump is the useful idiot four the religious right. His lifetime grifter skills have allowed him to amass millions of believers who ignore the Constitution, the rule of law, the respect for their fellow man or any concept of right or wrong. When trump eventually leaves (death, term limits, jail, asylum, etc) the USA can be “saved” by a “religious” theocracy with NO christian values.

Ginne's avatar

Honestly I am not sure he even has the intelligence to wade through all the information being thrown at him daily. Do you know he doesn't even read the daily security briefing? It's also clear he either doesnt use the teleprompter with commentary written by professionals or chooses not to use it and he uses his own words which is embarrassing.

Don't know if she's married, but if so I sure feel sorry for him. It cracks me up when a journalist asks admin questions (especially tootsie cheeks Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent) and Leavitt bulldogs her way in shoving Bessent to the side and answers questions for him. 🤣

Ya, hillary’s a well known truth teller right? She ridiculously blamed the Russians, and started the whole russiagate absurdity. That was a complete fabrication.

She's vile, AND, she along with the rest of the Establishment dems are 100% responsiblefor trump being in the oval office. They spent more time bashing Bernie than attacking Trump. See how that turned out. I have no idea why anyone would defend that vile pos.

The bill is so long no one in congress has read it. They never do and always complain that they didn’t have time, yet they sign anyway. Someone needs to sneak in an amendment that all congresspeople need to be fed to crocodiles. See if anyone catches that before signing

I've always suspected that maybe he was dyslexic. They didn't know much about it when he went to school. If so, it wasn't the thing that made him crazy, but it helped.
