Tell me I'm wrong on these 4 reasons for the Trump DC actions today.

1. “Big balls” got beat up bad so every black kid under 18 is now a suspect for something .
Pirro went on a rant about this in the parade of 3rd string JV press conference today. She said she “can’t touch” them. Awkward timing.

Speaking of which…

2. Distraction from Epstein.

3. He saw tents and homeless people on the way to his golf course which displeased him during his Royal carriage ride.

4. He needs a show of strength before his meeting with Putin on Friday. He said he was “embarrassing” to have to talk about this right before his meeting in Alaska. Have you ever heard him say he was embarrassed? Showing feeling and humanity? He ran his mouth, turning what is a massive show or strength into showing weakness like he’s sucking up.

where he controls every aspect of it and makes entry
and exit expensive and political --- like paying a toll.

He thinks everyone thinks he always has. He craves and lives in what thinks everyone thinks of him.

I agree, he wants to own a city.

he has to protect the predators inthe capital from
the unwashed masses, and grow the gold with tolls
and audience fees.
