a war, without a shred of evidence, contradicting previous statements, without congress or consulting our allies, to distract from the Epstein files? Is it a conspiracy theory that Trump used tariffs as leverage or personal retribution against other nations? Is it a conspiracy theory that Trump is on the side of Putin rather than or allies?

We could list dozens more examples. This is the Trump presidency. Conspiracies in this government are a reality, and what we can see in the open must be only the tip of the iceberg. We should assume that everything comes from people who play by different rules. It is all about gaslighting, cheating, stealing, and exerting power and bigotry at the expense of everyone else and everything America stands for.

When we have the most corrupt leader in the history of America, who acts like a mob boss, surrounded by corrupt sycophants, I am concerned about us not talking about the conspiracies and questioning every thing that happens that helps strengthen their power.
