Trump fell asleep again during a public event in the Oval Office today.
He now falls asleep at virtually every public event where he’s seated. We can only imagine what happens when the cameras aren’t there.
The president is clearly unwell.
25th Amendment now.

@harryjsisson The world knows that Donald Trump is a mentally deranged lunatic.

"Everything Trump did as President benefited Putin. He criticized everybody, from John McCain to foreign leaders, but never said anything negative about Putin. That’s the only person on the planet Trump never criticized. His actions always help Putin.
I’ve said many times on X, Donald Trump was the only one who could save Putin, and that’s exactly what’s happening now."
@AlternatNews The Strait of Hormuz has always been open.
All of a sudden Benjamin Netanyahu& Donald Trump attacked Iran without provocation;
without Congressional authorization;
without consulting the UN;
without notifying NATO,& allied countries.
Rubio, you broke it;
You have to fix it!

The UN must open the Strait of Hormuz for us - Rubio
"What is the purpose of the UN?! The UN was supposed to be a place where you could peacefully resolve global conflict." 🤷♂️😎
“We are taking it to the UN”.
The US condemned the UN for years, because the UN wanted to peacefully resolve conflicts, and objected to American and Israeli wars.
The US must be in dire straits (pun intended) if they now beg the UN for help.
@ChrisDJackson@GulliAz It was President Joe Biden who arrested the ravages of COVID-19 which had claimed 1.5 million American lives under the clueless, rudderless, inept, & incompetent Donald Trump.
Trump suggested using ultraviolet (UV) light & injecting disinfectants into the body to treat COVID-19.

Imagine the worst thing you can say about Joe Biden is that he got old while carrying the weight of the country on his shoulders.
He beat Trump when no one else could. He gave America and the world a fighting chance. He rebuilt the economy, passed historic legislation, stood with our allies, and restored dignity after four years of chaos and incompetence.
Yes, he believed he still had more to give. That is not a moral failing. That is a man who loved his country and did not want to walk away from the fight when his nation needed him. In the end, he didn't fail the country, we did, because we fully knew the stakes.
History will be much kinder to 46 than the pundits ever were. That I know.
I’ve got his back. How about you?
@OccupyDemocrats Donald Trump is the most crooked, the most corrupt, the most amoral human being imbued with myriads of moral turpitude in the history of the world.
Americans knew this, who and what Donald Trump is. Woe betide you then for electing him your president in the first place.

BREAKING: NOT SO FAST! Federal judge reopens Trump’s IRS case and demands to know if her court was defrauded.
Judge Kathleen Williams has had enough.
In a brief but devastating order Friday, the federal judge in Miami reopened Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS — a case Trump had voluntarily dismissed last week specifically to avoid her scrutiny — and ordered Trump's lawyers to explain by June 12th why she shouldn't find that the entire scheme was a fraud perpetrated against her court.
The judge's language was pointed and precise. She said she wanted to investigate "grievous allegations" that the deal to resolve the case was "premised on deception." She asserted that she was "empowered to investigate serious misconduct" and demanded answers to two devastating questions: was "the court the victim of a fraud," and did Trump collude with his own government to settle the case specifically "to avoid judicial scrutiny"?
The answer to both questions, based on everything that has already been reported, appears to be yes.
Judge Williams had been circling this case for weeks before Trump pulled it. She had openly questioned how Trump could sue an agency he controls, with government lawyers who answer to him, producing a settlement negotiated with officials he appointed. She ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually adversaries or secretly colluding. Trump dismissed the case the day before those briefs were due.
Then, after she closed it, the Justice Department released not one but two extraordinary agreements — a $1.776 billion fund to compensate Trump's allies, and a separate one-page document permanently barring the IRS from ever auditing Trump, his family, or his businesses. Agreements that had apparently been negotiated while the case was supposedly active before her court.
Judge Williams cited the New York Times report revealing that the IRS had prepared a 25-page memo outlining strong defenses against Trump's suit — defenses the Justice Department never raised in court, never filed, never mentioned.
Her order came directly in response to the filing by 35 former federal judges — appointed by presidents of both parties — who called the scheme a fraud and urged her to reopen the case.
She listened.
"We stand ready to work with the court as it investigates this matter," said Norman Eisen, who represented the former judges.
Trump tried to flip the table before she could see the cards. She just put them back on the table.
If you can’t wait to see the Justice Department try to explain itself, please like and share this post everywhere.

Federal judge rules Trump’s name must be removed from KennedyCenter,ASAP;
Judge orders Trump to respond to fraud claims over IRS lawsuit settlement;
Federal judge blocks Trump administration’s ‘slush fund’ from advancing
@marlene4719@Calkayes Donald Trump, an antichrist, the consummate personification of beelzebub, has never humbled himself before The Almighty God.
But rather he has likened himself akin to Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
That’s an ultimate blasphemy!
Anathema sit - let him be accursed.
Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

@Acyn@GulliAz Speak Up, Mr. President, Joe Biden, and Speak Out!
“These indeed , are dark days” in America.
“Be unapologetic for fighting for (y)our country”.
@FoxNews@ClarenceMack3 Lil’Marco “is surely going to go down … in the country’s history” as the consummate obsequious sycophant.
He had called Trump,“a con artist”.
Appearing on Today, Rubio picked up right where he left off, calling out Trump as a con artist who's taken advantage of working people.
