Trump cheats at everything. But don't worry—everything should be fine with the 2026 elections. If he loses, (for the first time ever!), he'll accept the loss with grace and dignity. www.dailymail.com/sport/golf/a...

Good use of roughly $6M taxpayer dollars, especially at a time when the military is begging, and the country is running its largest deficit in history.

As part of the deal, Trump wants Iran to sell the US weapons, since it has apparently blown through its stockpiles.
The same narcissistic buffoon who, during a recent tour of Graceland, asked employees whether they thought he could "beat Elvis" in fight. Presumably those that answered "no" were visited by the Secret Service, then the IRS, ICE, and finally the FBI.

Americans need to demand some answers from their govt. The US spends MORE on national defense than the next 5 or more countries COMBINED. If it can't knock off a 4th rate power like Iran (hammered by decades of sanctions) after 5 months (with help from Israel), where is all damn money going?
Anyone who has worked with domestic violence victims know the answer to this is too often yes.
He's completely bonkers. On his recent trip to Graceland, Trump goaded employees by asking them if they thought he could beat up Elvis in a fight. He also felt compelled to autograph one of Elvis' guitars with his signature Sharpie.
Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 4d agoPresident Pickpocket is legitimately Trumpshit insane. He doesn’t just crave the spotlight, he thinks he’s Elvis in his prime. The ego is off the charts.
