The man is morally emotionally and intellectually, incapable of leading the United States of America. I can’t stomach what he’s doing to destroy our country and embarrass us on the world stage. He is even worse than he was in 2017. And he’ll keep getting worse.The guardrails are off.

When Trump says “tariffs,” remember: That’s a TAX on everything you buy. From tomatoes to gas — you’ll be paying more.

President Trump just directly contradicted the Government's court filing in one of the most important cases before the courts. President Trump: "DOGE ... which is headed by Elon Musk who is in the gallery tonight." A boost for the plaintiffs in the Appointments Clause cases.

Congressman Cohen Says Trump-Vance Meeting with Zelensky is Embarrassing

MEMPHIS – Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-9), House Co-Chairman of the Helsinki Commission, watched the meeting between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky and made the following statement:

Putin held up on using nuclear weapons because of Biden and Blinken strong warning against such. I seriously doubt Trump has given a similar warning nor do I think he would and that is scary.

Trump’s meeting with Zelensky was a disgrace—likely a Putin setup. It never should’ve been televised. Trump brags about “holding the cards,” but the only one there was a Joker. He’s unfit—emotionally, intellectually, and morally. As the war continues, the blood will be on Trump and Vance’s hands.

Trump brought up World War III. What side will Trump be on ?if there is such maybe he’ll choose neutrality because he has bone spurs in his head

In the first term some talked quietly about their displeasure with Trump and dislike. This term I really haven’t heard anything, but I really haven’t saw it out either.
