Watch Michelle Obama's speech commemorating the opening of The Obama Presidential Center, which in part served as an extended masterful rebuke of Trump & MAGA!
Donald Trump is the worst President in US history. A man who feels no obligation to the sanctity of our elections. To carelessly and maliciously scream stolen in a democracy. He’s the fucking worst by far.
Dear Joe,
I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.
For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you. As for the fighters, in my book, anyone brave enough to put it all on the line in the arena is remarkable to witness. Their dedication and discipline inspire me. I don’t understand anyone who can’t admire that.
And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.
My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not to whoever happens to hold power at the moment.
The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people. To treat it as Caesar treated the Colosseum is antithetical to everything our founding fathers fought for.
This is not Rome. Presidents are not emperors doling out bread and circuses for the peasants. The White House is the People’s House. This “celebration” could have happened in any stadium within a stone’s throw of the South Lawn. No one would have had an issue with it.
But that was obviously Donald Trump’s whole point. By holding the event on the South Lawn, what he was saying to the rest of us is:
“This is my house. I own it. I will do with it what I please. I’ll build a colosseum and have the gladiators fight under my gaze. I’ll tear down the East Wing. I’ll pave over the Rose Garden. I’ll cover everything in gold and marble. I’ll erase the names of all the men who came before me.”
The fights were an exhibition of imperial domination, not a celebration of our 250th anniversary as a democracy.
The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar.
The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker.
The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.
Respectfully, Hunter
P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.
🚨🚨🚨 I'm posting this video every day so we NEVER forget what insurrectionist Donald Trump did on J6
Instead of accepting defeat and honoring the peaceful transfer of power, Trump unleashed a deadly mob on the U.S. Capitol in a last-ditch attempt to stay in power
THIS is what an insurrection looks like 👇👇👇
@AndyOstroy Backing out would be the smart move. Great excuses are available to him: -
-has to attend Don Jr’s wedding;
-has to finish his interview with Kristen Welker;
-has to go for another cognitive intelligence test;
-has to select gold drapes for the ballroom.
For years CNN propagandist Jake Tapper spent his days attacking President Biden’s mental capacity and his age and now he’s attacking First Lady Jill Biden, but he’ll never attack the orange felon’s treasonous crimes nor his old age nor his racist lunacy. Jake is a disgrace.
Trump completely lost it on Kristen Welker.
He said she was crooked, stupid and walked out of the interview!
I stand with Kristen Welker and all of the journalists Trump has attacked over the years.
Who is with me? ✋
🚨BREAKING: TRUMP JUST HAD HIS WORST MELTDOWN EVER.
Trump completely unravels when Kristen Welker challenged him on his California election claims.
Instead of providing evidence, he called her "crooked" and "stupid," attacked the press, and abruptly WALKS OUT in the middle of the interview.
She did what every journalist should do every time Trump spews his unfounded bullsh*t.
Thank you, Kristen.
