INSIDER DROPS BOMB: Trump is NOT IN CHARGE - Really American



'He's taking orders': Trump's ex-'trusted operative' says president has a boss. Former Trump insider Lev Parnas dropped some shocking bombshell allegations in a recent expose and promised more are on the way. He claims that Trump is not actually in charge at the White House and is taking orders from foreign actors. In this video we deep dive into the explosive details and evidence Parnas puts forward to suggest that Trump is completely compromised and not working on behalf of the American people.

Really American Host Kenny Hesse breaks it down. - 06/27/2025.

Tell the public something most have suspected for a very long time.
My question: what are the gop twits going to do, if anything, about it?

The terminally obtuse wear very large, and very effective blinders that would fit a Clydesdale, believing that if they can't see it, then it isn't happening. Fingers in their ears, and bellowing, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" works for them, too.

Nothing. In general, they like the direction we're going. In fact, some don't think we're destroying functional government enough.

From the Right: It's not true! Deport Parnas! Traitor! Un-American!

From the Left: We already knew this. What can we possibly do about it?

He is too dumb to come up with the policies they are pushing. He sure is hell doesn't know what he is doing with Iran. They are investigating Biden for the very same thing they are actively doing. Trump doesn't realize that the first step in toppoling a country is by destroying the government. We are a sinking ship and it seems as if we have know way to stop it. Trump is only concerned about crowd size because he is dimented and that is what he is stuck on.

He has a carefully prepared set of orders laid out in a step by step plan called project 2025. This was prepared by people who are in control of the GQP way forward. IMHO.🤔

Unlike previous presidents who have years in government - senators, governors, congressmen - and know those who have the experience to handle responsible positions, TFG only has friends of relatives and those he watched on Fox "News."

My brother was born on Torrejon Air Base in Spain was registered at the US Embassy in Madrid as all the military children born on the base were. John McCain was born in Panama to a US admiral and allowed to run for president. That a person born on a base in Germany was deported is absurd and would be considered a dual national until age of 18 where he chose US citizenship because he didn’t want to serve in the Spanish army to have dual citizenship. Rules have changed over time.

What needs to happen, an ambitious feat but becoming the only solution to saving the country from itself. But we can't talk about that so, food for thought, I guess. We are being pressured into untenable positions on purpose and since we failed to come up with the appropriate responses to the earlier offenses, we will be resorting to the more dire choices, if we do anything other than roll over and get trampled.

I'm wondering if we will even have a country to celebrate by next Friday.
