He's got no redeeming qualities.

He's a nasty man nasty people are using to maneuver themselves into wealth and power.

He's a vicious man vicious people are using to get revenge for the grievances of failed lives.

He's the worst personality the United States has endured in its entire history.

What Trump did with these business leaders is too close to begging.

Trump's mental illness will not permit him to let it go.

He's going to want some revenge.

If I were the people in that room I would be afraid.

If Donnie Two Dolls manufactures a bad recession or something worse, he's going to go hell for leather to make sure that there are no mid-term elections in 2026.

Anyone who doesn't know this is true is either stupid or doesn't want those elections themselves.

Apparently, in Trumplandia, if the President of the United States knows your name you are in extreme danger ... especially if you ever have disagree with him. And especially if you were not born here. But being born here does not offer any protection either. Only money and power can offer any protection now.

Because the weak will fail and you WILL be traumatized.

Because that is the stated goal of this administration.

Gratz America on your FAFO.

Maybe next you will choose the right thing.

What is a "little bit"? 1 month, 3 months, the rest of his term? Trump has no end goal nor does he have any idea what the actual outcomes of his policies will be. He lives in fantasy land.

Major change in government takes time - does not happen overnight, with rare exception, like the closure of the Southern boarder which happened in record time : )
