Trump: we are replacing democracy with kleptocracy, one blue city at a time. We will have performed a complete eradication of American democracy well before November, 2026. Take that you democracy loving losers!

Trump needs regular performances of violence to: a) distract from Epstein and other vulnerabilities, and b) to demonstrate how "powerful" he is (though this actually shows extreme weakness)

Trump prepares to impose a State of Siege in Chicago and Baltimore. Remember: This has nothing to do with crime. It's all about asserting control over largely Democratic cities. Is this how the Confederacy finally reverses the outcome of the Civil War?

When you put a convicted felon and lifelong grifter in the White House, they will use "fake emergencies" to solidify a permanent hold on power and they will (as quickly as possible) create a strong authoritarian state where their power can never be challenged (lucky Trump: most Dems are pathetic)

Never forget: No matter what Trump says, he adores Putin and craves Putin's respect (which he will never get). As long as Trump breathes, US foreign policy will be established in the Kremlin. The US has been CAPTURED by Russia.

We have to keep in mind: Trump remains the greatest malefactor. RFK Jr is merely his chosen destructor of America’s public health system. If RFK were to die tomorrow, Trump would appoint as a replacement someone equally destructive. The MAGA death cult remains active until Trump dies.
