HATES the same people THEY hate!

How is that working out for you, MAGAts? Enjoying LOW gas, grocery, health care costs?

How about your taxes? I had to pay in for 2025 to the tune of almost $4,000. We grossed more than in previous years, apparently. 2026 will be way different.

It's an acronym for his constant BS.
He said, "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will" but he didn't say how he was going to do it.
Iran also threatens to destroy nations all the time.

I didn't take Trump's threat literally.
He's like the parent who says, "You're grounded for life".
He says stupid shit when he doesn't get his way.

I thought he would engage in a bombing campaign if he didn't get his way.

Trump is a troll.
I guess you could say, I don't believe anything he says.
Maybe that's how I keep my sanity??

That's really the only way to get at a narcissist

Watching him melt down is funny

Ridiculing a mad man when he does the right thing and backs down from a dangerous position increases the odds he won't back down next time.

He is pretty well "goaded" to begin with, of course .

I used to find him absurd. Now I find him dangerous and absurd. The damage he is doing to our international standing is incalcuable.

It’s how we got here, in 2026, complete with AI Lego movies of the White House burning, and the president of the United States superimposing himself on lions and stuff than running the country.

Social media is a cancer, and, if I hear a news anchor say the word “trolling” one more time I'm going to die from cringe.
