This lying piece of shit claims he was at point zero 9/11. Lies, after lies, after lies. Some of you voted for this lying buffoon. Is this what you wanted? Be honest, if you can. He disgusts me. ๏ฟผ

This is a reminder that on January 7th, 2025, Donald Trump openly stated that he would use economic force to acquire Canada. NONE OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH TRADE - IT NEVER WAS. #cdnpoli
Polymarket signs LeBron James as first athlete partner... I don't even understand how this is allowed in the first place but very disappointed in LeBron. Instead of re-signing with DraftKings, he opts for the unregulated prediction market. Shame on you, gambling addiction is as prevalent as ever.

You know who actually did show up at Ground Zero? Canadian emergency rescue crews.
I feel like this tweet doesn't get talked about enough.
There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disasterโwhen you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown buildingโis such a despicable one
