If Donald Trump’s tariffs are overturned, his administration could face chaos repaying the money it wrongfully took. “Creating a huge mess is a consistent Trump method,” @davidfrum.bsky.social argues.

So taxpayers will have to pay double?

And ICYMI, the leaders of Russia, China were joined by Modi over the weekend in Shanghai, Modi joined as a not so subtle dig against Trump tariffs (shhh, don't tell Modi or China, there are no tariffs imposed on Russia by Trump).

Really, he's already ballooned the deficit. If it's going to destroy our country, well, he already did that.

I can’t believe y’all voted for him. What a joke. America is over. From a self inflicted wound.

America isn't over yet. But yes, electing Trump (a second time) is like shooting yourself in the foot and then waiting until that heals and then shooting yourself our other foot.

That's an old trick in business. You go into a company ... create a freaking mess ... then fix it ... and say, "Look what I did! I fixed that problem!"

Finally, someone calls out Trump’s intentions. Dementia, craziness, stupidity are all coverups for Trump’s cruelty and destruction. He WANTS US to fail!

And if RFK jr gets his way, Trump will kill even more Americans the second time than he did the first time (Last time his kill count was 400,000)

The mystery—for me, at least—is why, with his 50-60 year record of failures, people(most recently, +77M of them) keep giving him a pass. Is it something about him or about them? www.aol.com/every-trump-... & en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busines... & democracy21.org/news/freds-w...

Because US citizens hate the Dem's gerontocracy is more than they hate Trump's criminality, cruelty and incompetence. America needs health insurance reform, a tax system that taxes the billionaires and gun control. The Dems offer 80-year-olds who mutter about inclusiveness and microaggressions.

3/3 I had NO reason to vote Democrat but when a doctor &/or common sense tells you you have gangrene in one leg & your options are AMPUTATION or HOPE THAT YOU'LL SURVIVE GANGRENE; or that you have cancer & it's either CHEMO- or RADIATION THERAPY or HOPE & PRAYERS; I know what 'd choose.

I would choose Kamala. But more people chose Trump. If the Democrats chose Bernie Trump wouldn't have gotten in the first time. Recently, the Democrats chose 78 year-old cancer survivor Gerry Connolly over AOC for the Oversight Committee. He died. The Democrats are the party of Gerontocracy

After a struggle with my conscience; I actually chose & voted for Kamala: Yoghurt is not ice cream but it would’ve been better than the poison Trump is force-feeding us. Now I’m going insane trying to fathom the calculus that prompted +77M to choose poison over yoghurt. What didn’t I or they get?

The Democratic Party is part of the problem. Many of its members think calling yourself "Democratic" makes you a democrat. It''s like many of my so-called "co-religionists" who think "being a Muslim' = being مُسلِم. Its not: one's a proper noun & a label; the other is a verb & a state of being,

If Democrats would remember what FDR did, where his focus was on they would be on the right path. LBJ was a giant. (Vietnam war took him down and tarnished his legacy). LBJ started Medicad, Medicare and passed the voting right act. Democrats should remember him as well.

2/3 I think many Democrats are fake democrats; but I can't see how "health insurance reform, a tax system that taxes the billionaires & gun control" is achieved by choosing a LOSER & lying, philandering rapist 34 count felon over a public servant with a proven record as advocate for consumers

I agree, Trump is a cartoon villian. He will bankrupt the US and betray his supporters. I wouldn't vote for him. But... The people want to burn the system down. The Democrats need an FDR. someone to shake up the system. Instead they get candidates who just want to get along to go along.

The system kills about 45,000 people a year. It bankrupts about 600,000 a year. It causes pain as people struggle to pay premiums that don't cover their healthcare bills. People cheered Luigi when he murdered a health insurance executive. They want to burn the system down

3/3 It pains me to acknowledge this but I came to this country—LEGALLY—because i believe in the E PLURIBUS UNUM stuff & it broke my heart—LITERALLY—to find that lots of people CHOSE Trump because he does & says what they believe & want but are too cowardly to get up, say & do what they want.

I agree. Trump and MAGA are anti-American. If you define American as rule of law. Trump and MAGA are anti-Christian. If you define Christianity as everyone has dignity, empathy for the downtrodden, sacrifice for the greater good. Trump is like the devil. He makes his followers hypocrites

1/ Burning the system down is one thing; shooting yourself in the head is another. Burning down the house to get rid of a few cockroaches? Burning down the neighborhood because a few trashy residents? No, Trump votes were NOT protest votes; they voted for him because he is who they are.
