The USA already has gorgeous arches. No thanks to Trump.

From the internet: The National Trump arch/special military complex for snipers and drones only needs to add sharks with laser attachments to truly show how Trump is actually Dr Evil in disguise.

This is why news organizations are being removed from the White House. Not because they are fake news-it’s because his own staff is sharing the truth.

Trump fucked up America’s supply chain so badly that soon his voters will be eating the cats and eating the dogs.

Only time he fights for something like this this much is when it benefits him personally. Trump to form ‘AI Force,’ name AI czar but rejects calls for constraints www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Travelers shouldn't pay fortunes in fees for carry-on bags or choosing their seat, which cost airlines less than the inflated fees they charge. My FAIR Fees Act would slash excessive fees, enact cost-saving protections & put consumers first instead of airline billionaires.

In fact-Trump will be the punchline to jokes for at least the next hundred years.

Q: Why is it appropriate for your son to accept a gift, a payment for his wedding festivities? TRUMP: It's totally allowed and a lot of people have parties, but as I understand he paid him back

Why do you think the current administration would hide this from the public? Whatever happened to embedded reporters? Any bets what Mr Trump will respond with this? AI? Or purging the military? Democrat hoax?

Sleepy Don would normally be considered rude to say of a president, but Trump has changed the level of respect in our country.

alert the press: it is not normal for the president to be unable to stay conscious during televised events in the Oval Office

President Trump announces he's barring CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House because he doesn't like their reporting. Smells a little fashy to me. I'm so glad that men aren't too emotional and irrational to hold elected office.

Trump will ban any news organization reporting the truth. I also fear the destruction and deaths in our military is much worse because we don’t have proper reporting. Similar to how Russia deals with its press and military “achievements.” One more place that Trumpbis breaking his oath of office.

Utah needs some leaders here in Utah to get better leadership in the Senate than we get with Mike Lee.
