John Bolton is a hardline conservative. He was one of the key evangelists for the invasion of Iraq. He's basically called for the U.N. to be dismantled. He's openly called for regime change in numerous countries. He's been accused of manipulating evidence to support his ultra hawkish views. He was basically the closest thing American politics had to Trump's abrasiveness many years before Trump entered the scene.

Which is why Trump brought him on as national security advisor for 17 months during his first term.

Keeping him in that role should have been easy. On paper, Trump was Bolton's dream for executive power, and Bolton was ideal for carrying out Trump's stated vision.

But Trump was so incompetent and Bolton was so repulsed by Trump's incompetence and Trump was so resentful of the perception that Bolton was tougher than he was that the two clashed repeatedly and Bolton ultimately left.

Bolton then wrote a scathing memoir about his time as Trump's national security advisor that laid bare Trump's incompetence on foreign policy and national security.

Today, the FBI searched Bolton's home and office on the absurd suspicion of mishandling classified documents, but it's really because Bolton wrote that scathing memoir.

If Trump is willing to do something this brazen against someone like Bolton, imagine what he's willing to do against anyone else.

This video is the best explanation of how the MAGA cult came into being that I’ve ever seen. Watch every second of it.

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours.

The Golden Age.

This may be the most obscene thing he’s ever done on social media

It’s offensive at a level I’m struggling to articulate, but start with the fact that he’s again framing himself as God’s chosen representative on Earth when he is, lest anyone forget, a **serial sexual predator**

So Donald Trump could "accidentally" deport a political rival, the courts could order the person returned, and Trump can say "Hey, it is not up to us, call El Salvador"

🚨🚨🚨🚨Trump was caught on the hot mic telling Bukele they plan on doing citizens next.

They are lying. The entire conversation was classified by its very nature of the principles involved. It was an illegal use of a disappearing messaging app which none of them objected to. Hegseth appears to have copied and pasted the targeting packages into the chat, and Witkoff was literally in Moscow when he joined the chat. This is a thousand times worse than they want you to know.

So it’s really important you understand the Trump Coin grift. It hasn’t gotten enough attention, but it’s maybe the biggest White House corruption in a century. Right out in the open for all to see.

I’m going to explain how the grift works. Only takes 3 minutes.

You can't use the parks budget to redo your backyard.

You can't use the highway budget to repave your driveway.

You can't use the police budget to hire a personal security guard.

And rich people can't use our public school budget to pay for private school.

Say no to vouchers.

Trump's presidency is a Golden Era — for corruption.

He fired independent watchdogs who investigate waste, fraud, and illegal activity.

He fired the top whistleblower protection official.

He fired the top government ethics official.

He halted enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

He disbanded the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force.

Trump is declaring open season for public corruption.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

🚨 NEW: Trump and the White House have gone silent on daily deportation numbers. Why? Because they’re embarrassingly low.

Despite all the tough talk, Trump is flopping—just 5,700 deportations in two weeks, half of Biden’s pace last year. At this rate, he won’t even come close.

Now, he’s reportedly fuming that his mass deportation promise is falling apart. Once again, he just can’t measure up to Biden. 🤷
