Voted in a dozen GOP presidential primaries before Trump voted in his first, but to MAGA I’m a liberal, a Commie, a leftist and a “RHINO.”

Two years ago Trump was seriously looking at alternatives to ObamaCare. Some serious looking there.

Trump yesterday: “I got an MRI. It was perfect. Yeah. I mean, I gave you the full results.” Another bald faced lie. What else is new?

Trump: “They’re cognitive tests. And let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. I don't think - Jasmine, the first couple of questions are easy, a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe. You know, when you get up to about five or six and then when you get up to 10 and 20 and

Sen Rand Paul: “So far they have alleged that these people are drug dealers. No one’s said their name, no one’s said what evidence, no one’s said whether they’re armed. And we’ve had no evidence presented. So at this point, I would call them extrajudicial killings.”

Is China’s “framework” another one devoid of many details? After Trump announced his trade deal with Japan. a Japanese trade negotiator said, “If we find differences of understanding, we may have to point them out and say ‘that's not what we discussed.’” Frameworks aren’t deals.

MAGA believes whatever Trump says. Not that it's a cult or anything.

@MikeBates I was arrested today. I put two gallons of gas in my car. I gave the attendant $4 dollars and told him to keep the change.

Today's lie is that Ronald Reagan loved tariffs. MAGA believes whatever he says. Not that it's a cult or anything.

@MikeBates @RepLisaMcClain Is this volunteer activity really happening? Or is this a smokescreen for no town halls? Has @RepLisaMcClain posted a list of names & activities? My rep has met w/a realtors' group. That's it. Considering politicians' love of show, there s/be PR photos flooding this site.

Trump’s sending warships to Latin America as part of the military’s strikes against alleged drug smugglers. Anything to distract.

GOP conference chair @RepLisaMcClain says, “Dozens of Republicans are back home, cleaning up parks, volunteering at food banks and helping struggling families.” No mention of town halls. Why is that, Lisa?

During a 2019 visit to Mount Vernon, Trump said: “If (Washington) was smart, he would've put his name on it. You've got to put your name on stuff, or no one remembers you.” Trump will be remembered, bitterly. Much of the world will cheer when he makes headlines for a final time.

Trump’s administration has made the test to become a citizen more difficult. I doubt he could pass it. There’s now an emphasis on verifying an applicant’s moral character. In a just world that criterion would have been applied by voters to Trump. He’d still be a private citizen.

Some construction workers demolishing the East Wing say they signed non disclosure agreements. White House employees, campaign workers, Walter Reed doctors, Stormy Daniels. . . Trump loves his NDAs.

“Over the past 200 years, not only has the argument against tariffs and trade barriers won nearly universal agreement among economists but it has also proven itself in the real world, where we have seen free-trading nations prosper while protectionist countries fall behind.”

“America’s most recent experiment with protectionism was a disaster for the working men and women of this country. . . The actual result was the Great Depression, the worst economic catastrophe in our history; one out of four Americans were thrown out of work.” Ronald Reagan
