She hasn’t been elected to anything yet and won’t take office until January if (likely) she wins in Nov. Headline is deceiving

This how it’s done. This is a masterclass in dismantling the lies people think are true.

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

@Mollyploofkins And when Obama gave Iran back frozen assets for a no nukes deal —Trump criticized it and then joked the deal. Total hypocracy

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

@OlenaRohoza For starting an unecessary war? Are you stupid?

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

The history of the location should make everyone nervous.

No. But I might support arresting Tom Homan fhe violating civil rights laws.

[Rose Smith @itsrosesm]

Would you support Tom Homan arresting every mayor who interferes with ICE?

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

President Trump signs the peace deal while at Versailles. Historically that makes me nervous.

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

Price varies by distance from refineries and state sales tax. Taxes are approved by legislators not governors. Know what yuu are talking about before you speak.

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

Gasoline is $3.36 today in Indiana.

Gasoline in California today is $5.99.

Same president.

Different governors.

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

Well. Every flight. There’s a full bedroom suite in Air Force One. And of course he sleeps during cabinet meetings. He napped during the Knicks game.

[Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera]

For an 80 year-old man, it is extraordinary how energetic the president is. When does he sleep? Compared to most octogenarians he is the energizer bunny. You might not like what he’s doing or where he’s going, but he’s running laps around his critics.

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

And if you actually believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn you can get at for a good price.

[Rose Smith @itsrosesm]

Not sure who needs to hear this right now during these crazy times BUT DONALD TRUMP is the GREATEST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

No way. Don’t even suggest it.

[Sarah ♥️ @SarahWorkx]

Be honest
I am trying to prove a point

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

@DrOBrienMD @ssurovell So now they are polluting the swamp. !

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

B-S

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🤔 They are all the same.

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

Donald J Trump

[𝚁𝚘𝚜𝚜𝚢 🌹 @RossyPrime]

If you had to pick, who do you think was the worst President America has ever had?

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

No surprise.

[GOP Ls @GOP__Ls]

🚨 Trump's Campaign Chairman Tim Nolan has been convicted of trafficking 19 girls, 7 of them underage.

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

Actually caring about their constituents instead of the 1%

[Anti Left Memes @AntiLeftMemes]

Name something

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

Fake,false , not true myth, lie

[Mila Joy @Milajoy]

The reason passing the SAVE America Act is NON NEGOTIABLE is because Biden let in 20 million illegals.

And they are voting.

We cannot allow it to continue.

If Thune won't use the standing filibuster, toss him out, and find someone who will.

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

And don’t forget his big fat government contracts for Space X -taxpayer money.

[SaltyGoat @SaltyGoat17]

Just so we're all clear...

Elon Musk DOES NOT have $1 TRILLION sitting in a bank account. 99% of his money is tied up in the highly successful companies that he owns.

He creates things that people happily pay for and he also employs 170,000 people.

Ask the communists complaining about him what they've done...

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

A question that should be asked by every White House and State Department reporter today,tomorrow and the next day.

“How is this deal with Iran any better than the one President Obama made with Iran in 2015 without any bloodshed?“
Failure to ask that question is incompetence.

[Hank Silverberg @HankSilverberg]

Garbage

[💙Brittney💙 @AZ_Brittney]

What do you think of the UFC event at the White House last night?
