As soon as Republicans gerrymander and disenfranchise the Democratic party into powerlessness, install a police state, shred any remaining bits of our social safety net, and remove the last impediments which prevent the 95%'s tax dollars from being channeled directly into the pockets of the 0.1%, Trump will no doubt declare that he believes America is great!

But yes the piece of shit in the White House these days is very much bothersome in every way, if that is even in question for some reason.

It just would have been nice not to sail off into the sunset in a shithole country.

This last bit about "No disaster help to states" if you don't buy goods from Israel. You know Trump's mind is more on the golf course than that - so WHO is running the White House??

And the head of the House is over in Israel kissing the wall when these guys know how unpopular the genocide is with the American people.. Even all the Republican podcasters have had it with Trump..
