You hear so much about Trump beging a great president, especially from Trump, but he's going to have to make up for myriad mistakes and misinformation to become even a decent preisent.

Trump keeps claiming he has been mistreated by various individuals and groups, but perhaps there's a valid reason.
I can see them wheeling Mitch McConnell into a room to cast a favorable vote for Todd Blanche and get him across the line. He and Trump don't get along, but Mitch is a blind Republican incapable to vote with his head or heart.
You'd think that myriad protests against our presidents since he began his second term tells you something about his character. Millions versus one man has to tell you one man.
I'm not saying billionaires didn't work to get where they are, but the Democratic process helped make it possible, if they did it right. So, what's so unfair for them to be taxed in accordance of the process that got them there? What's wrong with giving some money back.
Politics has become a game without rules under the Trump presidentcy,
When it comes to the confirmation of Todd Blanche, all that need be said is that he told Trump, "I love you sir." You do not "love" your president, you respect him, but make sure he has earned your respect with legal actions.
Yes, Trump continues to invite fools and cons into his administration, but it's the vote of the Republican majority that allowing them to come in. This can only be changed by a major mid-term Blue Wave. God help this nation if the Republican majorities survive.
One day Trump's smugness is going to be shoved down his throat. No politician, celebrity, athlete has exhibited the rude, obnoxious nature that he does without provocation. You don't say and do the things he does and not pay for it in the end.
Cornyn and Tillis obviously missed the part where Todd Blanche told Trump "I love you sir."I can only wonder what Sigmund Freud would have to say about today's Trump Republicans.
I can only wonder how Republican lawmakers can continue to support and coddle an addle-minded fool like Trump. Cornyn and Tillis had an opportunity to leave Congress on the high road but chose an embarrassing exit.
Donald Trump, buried deeply in public disapproval polls, keeps badmouthing people and making untrue statements in an afternoon press conference, is simply deflecting or is is 100 percent crazy. Sidenote: Cornyn and Tillis are pathetic.
Musk has announced massive financial support of the GOP, the party has otthers with deep pocket are chipping in. Tot me, it should be a bi-partisan move to limit campaign spending. Look how much more expsure did Trump have to spread his lies in the last election?
Remember when John McCain attempted to establish new rules at campaign finance? Mega-millions of dollars are being spent on politics that would help make this a safer and healthier place for ALL Americans to live. Alas.
This in no longer the land of the free and home of the brave. The screwed up Reflection Pond is the perfect metaphor for what this nation is becoming.
No way Donald Trump wasn't involved with Infantino's scheme to make a major prower grab for a multi-billion in international football. He and Infantino are to close not to suspect Trump's involvement using his son-in-law's brother.
I'm surprised that Trump isn't opposing the dropped charges agains former Olympian Hearn. I believe this means an oblique admission Trump made a mistake in selecting a bad contractor, but by not means will an apology follow.
If a Democrat wins the 2028 presidential election, how many major changes will the new president make in the White House alone? I'm betting many, many.
Considering Trump's thirst for absolute power, it's alarming in that Senate and House members and SCOTUS continue to support him. In my lifetime I can't remember a more inept and careless prsident.
Damn, if the GOP is going to skewer Fauci for what went on during the Covid period, what are they going to say about RFK Jr's decisions involving the measles outbreak?
That fact that Trump is asking the Supreme Court to allow him to rewrite election rules is possibly the most chilling request of either term.
I think it's safe to say that Trump is more concerned about beautifying Washington, D.C. than he is about lifting the nation out of disaster.
So now the congress is going after Fauci, who is on Trump's retribution list. As if this nation doesn't have enough pending problems to address. Has this world gone crazy.
Just think of all the despots that Trump admires and supports.
Rember when Cassidy was uncertain about RFK Jr.'s nomination, but eventually voted in favor. I fear that Cornybn is abou to do the same in Blanche's nomination bid.
I can't even imagine the extent of Trump's ego, but I'm sure we will neve see the end of it.
If Cornyn and Tillis are still pondering whether to say no to Todd Blanche's DOJ nomination, they're still mired in Trump's cult.
Trump's slumping approval numbers tumble, millions have been protesting about "No Kings," our economy is in the dumps and he has the audacity to say that we're in a golden era. '
Donald Trump said the war is to make sure Iran does not have nuclear potential. So, our nation is being held hostage by speculation.
Donald Trump is a child clad in big boy clothes. His insults, his memes, his bragging, his tantrums, his humor are marks of a spoiled child.
