This could well be the defining image of the Trump years.

Trump: "I can create peace with tariffs. I'm using them for a lot of different reasons. If that power was taken away from the president, it would be a terrible terrible day for our country. And I would say many of the things I've done could be eradicated ... these are enemies of

He's only had 10 years to craft such a plan, so it's a bit unfair to just demand he produce one now.

It’s tempting to laugh at this because it’s all so buffoonishly incompetent. But we shouldn’t be numb to what this means: Trump is directing the head of DOJ to prosecute his political enemies via his janky social media property’s DM’s. This alone would end a regular presidency.

I don’t think folks realize how surreal this is. The fact that the Texas governor refuses to respect another state’s right should alarm Texans. Imagine the outcry from Abbott himself if it was Texas on the receiving end of unwanted National Guard from Illinois?

sure this LOOKS bad but have you considered that the priest disagrees with the president and therefore state violence against him is not just permissible but actively good

Sergio Garcia, celebrated Chef who came to the US before ICE even existed. Deported after 36 years. The picture tells you a lot about the decline of the Republican party. https://t.co/GfrPB5nnza

"We have to take care of this little gnat on our shoulder called the Democrats," says the American President to cheering servicemembers. This is so incredibly repugnant and un-American, on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin.

If you don’t understand why this insanely partisan language in front of uniformed servicemen is beyond the pale and deeply dangerous, I’m not sure I can explain it to you.

It amazes me how easily the public has come to accept masked government stormtroopers acting as political enforcers in American cities.

Qatar gifting Trump a personal plane and in exchange Trump pledging American soldiers to die for Qatar sums this administration up perfectly.

This is one of the most demented things Trump has posted

You gotta love a SECDEF who put American military secrets on a civilian messaging app in a text group that included the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic lecturing generals about professionalism and standards. All the pushups in the world can't compensate for incompetence.

Gen Chiarelli was on the job 24/7 looking after wounded, Gen McKenzie warned bosses constantly about Iran threat, Gen Milley served in more combat than most Americans can fathom. Respect will be paid please. Personal insults are not a sign of any strength.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Deranged, un-American fascism.

I actually think it’s pretty self-aware of Megyn to understand—and even say out loud—that if you are a decent person, her show probably isn’t for you.

We're all numb to this now, but how on earth can we accept this behavior from our president? With the government about to shut down, does this seem like a leader who is trying to find a solution?

A lot of people out there are calling themselves "conservative" while gleefully burning things down and using the state to hurt their perceived enemies. You can call them lots of things, but they are not conservatives.

this is all so stupid and exhausting
