Ben Franklin: Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.
GOP's afraid of Trump #FBR
@DEC11625131D3C@TheMightyMagnet@EdKrassen The economy Biden left Trump was way better than it is now. The tariffs, Iran War & Trump enriching himself & his family is just a part of how he has messed up our country AGAIN!! Trump left a failing economy for Biden in 2021 who then left a growing economy for him in 2025.
💀 The Trapped Animal
Let me tell you what happens when a narcissist with nuclear codes realizes he has lost.
He does not reflect. He does not adjust. He bites everyone within reach.
Before February 28th, Iran was sanctioned, isolated, and weak. The Strait was open. Oil flowed. The economy was functioning. The world was not perfect, but it was not on fire. Then Donald Trump, on impulse, without consulting allies, without a plan, without congressional authorization, assassinated a head of state and launched a war he was certain would be over in a week.
It was not over in a week. It is not over in a month. And now every number in his life is collapsing: 33% approval, the lowest of his presidency, only 29% support for the war, his own base abandoning him, 36 House Republicans already heading for the exits. He is the least popular wartime president in modern American history and the war is not even over.
And what is coming is the bill for everything he broke.
$5.2 trillion gone from the markets. Brent at $116. Consumer confidence below 2008. Bond market posting its worst outflows since the pandemic. Treasury auctions at their weakest demand since 2024. $52 billion fleeing Asia. Fertilizer chains broken. Famine approaching. Fourteen Americans dead. The Strait still closed. Iran still standing. And now he is willing to walk away with the Strait still shut, meaning the one stated reason for the war was a lie or a failure, and either way the dead are still dead and the money is still gone.
So what does a trapped animal do? He lashes out. Not at the enemy. At the friends.
This morning, from his phone, he told Britain to buy American oil and go fight for the Strait themselves. The Strait he closed. The crisis he created. He told them “the U.S.A. won’t be there to help you anymore.” He threatened France because they would not let weapons fly over their territory for a war they were never consulted about. “The U.S.A. will REMEMBER,” he wrote, threatening the nation that gave America the Statue of Liberty.
He cannot beat Iran. So he beats up on NATO. He cannot reopen Hormuz. So he tells allies to “just TAKE IT,” something he could not do with three carrier strike groups in 28 days. He cannot lower gas prices. So he tries to sell American oil to the countries whose supply he cut off. The arsonist selling fire insurance.
And through all of it, while the world burns and the numbers collapse, his circle trades. Every fake peace announcement a buy signal. Every escalation a sell signal. The Financial Times documented it. Bloomberg confirmed it. A US Senator called it mind-blowing corruption. The war failed for America. It succeeded for the people close enough to the Situation Room to know what comes next.
That is what this is. A man who broke the world because he wanted to feel powerful, lost control of everything he touched, watched his numbers collapse, and is now thrashing at every ally within reach because he cannot admit what everyone else already knows: he got this catastrophically, irreversibly, historically wrong.
And the people who will pay for it, as always, are everyone except him.
@McgowanShe60076@ChrisMoore15915@AlinaHabba Perhaps because Biden's legislation was much better and worth passing.
These GOP Senators seem to recognize that the legislation Speaker Johnson is sending is BS.
@brakkins1904@leoknyc777@NICKIMINAJ The Democrats of 1860!!
You surely realize it's 2026 and different than the Jim Crow era and the pre-Civil War south. The Southern Strategy realigned the racists with the GOP
@JimFergusonUK IF he were stabbed, SHOW US THE MEDICAL REPORT to prove it!!
Trust me, if he had it, he'd have released it in a Go Fund me post to try & raise a ton of money!
@NowPammsy@DawnsMission@FirstAmend75255@POTUS@FLOTUS RW news didn't report all of the awful sh!t they said about Michelle & Barack Obama.
RWNJs are still saying that Michelle is really a man.
Y'all are cray-cray!!!
@tobias_downs@DawnsMission@NowPammsy@FirstAmend75255@POTUS@FLOTUS He hasn't even released 99% of the files that BY A LAW THAT HE SIGNED were supposed to have been released over a month ago.
It kinda makes all the sh!t happening on our streets with ICE & this Greenland BS look like a distraction to keep us from talking about him HIDING THEM!!
@goneers@mattvanswol Show ONE PIECE of evidence that these protesters are being paid.
If y'all had it, you'd be posting it nonstop.
It's TOTAL BS, and you KNOW THIS!!
@Qbert33@jeffreytucker This led directly to the COVID tragedy happening. If Trump hadn't disbanded the Pandemic Response Team in 2018, THEY would've taken this warning seriously (unlike Trump's flunkies who IGNORED them). 50 MILLION people died from Covid. If one of them were my family, I'd be pissed!
@Qbert33@jeffreytucker I used to think that, too. We HAD a huge contingent of CDC personnel embedded with the Chinese CDC until Trump brought most back, including our epidemiologists. The skeleton crew who remained informed the WH of the HUGE RISK of novices handling dangerous viruses & were IGNORED!
