Trump is showing signs he suffered a stroke.

@#4 ... Worst. President. Ever. ...

Yup.

What other anti-democracy policies does he want to invoke?

Agreed.

Regarding Pres Trump, she seemed to provoke.

What, with his military deployments against Americans, does Pres Trump hope to stoke?

Our greatest stupidity is electing human caused global warming deniers. People like Trump are a great danger to our civilization.

Good. Another gift that would do nothing but make a few elites feel good about their virtue signaling. You could increase shipping costs tenfold and Newsome and friends wouldn't feel it. But the rest of us would.

"You could increase shipping costs tenfold"

Trump already did that, it's called tariffs.

I guess you didn't notice.

It's positively mind numbing to see Visitors total dissociation with reality.

Trump IS the Elite, and the Elite bought and paid for him; 73 percent of billionaire bribes went to Trump, most of the rest to Dems.

Guess what, there are factions within the ruling classes.
