How many “TRILLIONS” has #theFeloniousPOTUS collected from Americans in the past 7 months? Our Country & military power were thriving just fine without his insane “Tariffs”. What has he done to our nation and military to make them so vulnerable? Has Donald J. Trump gone insane?

On the new acting CDC director. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

O’Neill, unlike Monarez, has no training in medicine or infectious disease science. He is a former speechwriter for the health department, during the Bush years, who went on to work for the tech investor and conservative megadonor Peter Thiel. During the Covid pandemic, O’Neill voiced public support for unproven treatments that were not supported by scientific evidence, including ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, as well as vitamin D as a supposed “prophylaxis”. He also posted a number of conspiratorial theories on social media, including the baseless claim that “the name #COVID was chosen to conceal the origin of the virus. This name made it harder to study and probably slowed the response.”
