Nobody would dare start a war on my watch, Trump boasted. He insisted that he’d end the Ukraine matter in twenty-four hours as president-elect.

Trump kills anything he touches. But I’m sure the oil industry is happy to see the Middle East in flames again. Oil jumped by more than 30% when the bombs started falling.

DT has tried to lay the blame on the previous administrations of democratic leadership, when in fact it has been his 45 & 47 administrations that have gotten to this stage. His mental health has allowed his handlers—Miller, Thiel, Cheung, Vought, and others to manipulate his actions and executive orders to cause the situation that we now find ourselves. This regime is looking for any excuse to declare an insurrection in America and martial law and to have US armed forces in every state to control and demean us into submission. We The People will not allow this to happen to our democracy!

Peacefully march, rally, speak loudly, DONT engage agitators!

Be safe and stay strong!

He's just a big bag of wind when it comes to doing what he says he would do while in office. If someone stuck a pin in him he would spiral into outer space with all the wind inside of him. Please someone do that. We know that he will only do things that benefit him and his regime. He wants to be a king in the USA but, somehow hasn't gotten the message that kings don't run our country - that presidents do and, somehow, he doesn't even know how to do that after having four years of training. If only this were a reality show and we could all say, Donnie you're fired.

Finally, straight facts! But, it should be noted how hard Biden worked to undo the damage caused by Trump’s first term.

He has been playing Matador, toying with our thoughts, our emotions, our fears that we share by the twirl of his cape. Each time he succeeds, he raises his arms up to the crowd. " Yes," he says, " This pleases me, and my fans cheer... " But, he has recently been given restraints. Now we sit anxiously, as that bull, watching every move the matador makes. Well, we hold the sword, and can now think, " c'mon Matador, let's play our way now .

You're absolutely right. He should have never been a candidate for the Presidency back in 2015. The Republican party picked him because of his exposure to the American public VIA his program. They (Republicans) felt he was their best shot to win. No experience in politics whatsoever. His only experience is failure, at whatever he touches. His continuous bragging about his financial wealth was not of his doing. His Father was the leader. He could only walk in his Father's shadow. Expect the opposite of what ever he says, is the only constant from him. The truth is not within him to speak ever. He has found a very comfortable position now and don't expect him to follow any rules. Never has he made money so easly. He won't be removed from the Presidency by voting America. War is what will keep him in Power and the seeds planted so many years ago are ready to be picked. The Republican party is to blame for putting this very dangerous person where he is. The World is paying a very dear price now. This is what happens when a CONVICTED CRIMINAL TRAITOR is put into a place he should NEVER BE IN.

He actually suggested that to eliminate the deficit, our Country should file bankruptcy! Yes, you can look it up. He's done it multiple times and always came out the other side more wealthy than when he filed. What he doesn't seem to realize is his personal bankruptcies are filed with so many lawyers involved, a small business couldn't afford to take him to Court, but Countries we owe money to? They'd band together and seize assets-our personal savings, Social Security, etc.

He better stay on the good side of Japan and China or they'll send the repo men.

If ever anyone boiled down Trump Derangement Syndrome to its core, it is Rick Wilson, who said, ETTD. If I get to have a gravestone, I hope there is someone around to engrave ETTD on my marker (if there is anything left to bury).

Trump is an unmitigated disaster for the USA.Nothing but chaos and lies.How did these MAGA lunitics ignore what is before their very eyes.Trump is exibiting the signs of dementia and should not be anywhere near the Presidency.How could a great nation sink so low as to let this situation continue.the rest of the world is watching in horror as this debacle continues.So very very sad.

I’m not a Gen Z , I’m 70 and will be watching your live stream and giving my opinions on No Kings Day on my own Substack. I wish I could join in the protest here in Louisville but I need to work during the protest hours. I will be there in spirit at least to uphold our right to protest what we believe is an unjust regime. I will no longer think of it as an administration if they want to act like a banana republic autocracy.

let's also not forget that Trump snubbed Isreal after "hitting up" Arabian interests for Trump & Family businesses

Including the Saudis who sent 19 of the terrorists who attacked the US on 9/11. But Trump has a history of making common cause with mobsters.

Thankyou for the news article, Adam.

Excellent writing and in an easy to read format.

I'm thousands of miles away from all of this and it's still very concerning to watch.

Distance isn't an issue these days with all the new technologies that can be deployed to cause destruction. Let's all hope the worst case scenario doesn't happen.

When someone deliberately causes chaos to then come charging in to 'rescue' the situation and make out as if they are 'the hero' ..... IMO that's not mentally or morally stable.
