Trump's Great American Fair will go down in our history as a fitting disaster, emblematic of the man, a combination of narcissism, idiocy, and incompetence. The attendance is woeful. The entertainment is lousy. The food is crap. The messaging is misplaced. The stage is collapsing. The military does flyovers while people on the ground pass out from heat exhaustion. It is - as predicted ... and as expected - a testimony to Trump and Trumpism, and an insult to America and to thinking people everywhere.
Nothing evokes American pride quite like the President of the United States flying over national monuments in a secondhand jet gifted by an oil-rich Arab country.
Funny how the people screaming about freedom are the ones banning books, policing wombs, and canceling elections. Freedom for me and control for you is not freedom.
🇺🇸Trump at 6:55 PM: "We can’t fund daycare. We’re fighting wars. We can’t afford daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, and all of it."
🇺🇸Gov. Moore at 7:00 PM: "This fool prioritized funding his illegal war over the vital programs that support kids and families. He wrecked our country by dumping the very burden he created onto everyone else."🔥
Absolute brutal 🔥💪
On July 4, 1776, the United States declared its independence from Great Britain.
As soon as possible, the United States needs to declare its independence from Donald Trump.
When I was Ethics Czar, we decided Obama wouldn't even refinance his house to save a few hundred dollars -- & lobbyists couldn't gift us a PENCIL!
Trump is monetizing the presidency for BILLIONS
The American people won't stand for it
I discussed with @andersoncooper
If the Postal Service moves forward with President Trump's plan to restrict mail ballot delivery, I'll pursue a congressional subpoena of the Postmaster General and lead efforts to remove him from office.
No administration should be able to use the Postal Service to make it harder for Americans to vote.
@atrupar That is not the post office's job. They are to get the mail to wherever it's supposed to go. They do not get to meddle in elections. It's not their job to match ballots with names. That is the job of the states! States run their own elections!
Illinois expanded vote-by-mail because we believe voting should be easier, not harder.
Now, Trump’s handpicked Postmaster General is threatening to withhold mail ballots unless states turn over voter rolls.
That's not election security. It’s voter suppression.
🚨BREAKING: Postmaster General David Steiner told senators that, under a new proposed rule, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration https://t.co/WA59TUHa59
PabloReports: Does Donald Trump get to keep this Qatari jet after the presidency?
Raskin: No, he does not. You know why? Because the Constitution says he can’t do it.
Because the Constitution says that the president may not receive a present, an emolument—which means a payment, an office or title of any kind—from a king, a prince, or a foreign state without the consent of Congress.
And Congress has not consented to him keeping a $400 million jet. So it’s got to be turned over immediately to Congress for disposition.
We can either send it back to the people in Qatar, or we can keep it and do something different with it. But it doesn’t belong to the president.
You know, Abraham Lincoln, in the middle of the Civil War, wanted to keep some elephant tusks he’d gotten from the King of Siam. He never kept a present before. He wrote a letter to Congress. He said, “Can I keep this?” And Congress said, you know, you’re doing a great job, Honest Abe, and we love you, but no, you can’t keep it. Turn it over to the Department of State. That’s the right way to do it.
Every other president has come to Congress to ask whether they can keep one of these foreign gifts from a government, king, or prince. President Trump should be no different. He’s got to come to us too. And if not, we’ll just have to requisition it and confiscate it.
