@Suzierizzo1 It’s absolutely HIDEOUS!!! He had RUINED the White House not only by tearing down the East Wing, but ruined that beautiful marble in the fireplace. It’s very concerning to say the very least.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just got hit with a brutal reality check — and it’s exactly what working Americans have been feeling for years. A new Gallup poll shows 55% of Americans say they’re getting poorer....the WORST number in 25 YEARS. Let that sink in. Worse than the pandemic. Worse than the financial crisis. And it’s been rising FIVE YEARS STRAIGHT. This is Trump’s so-called “golden age.” While he brags about factories and billionaires, everyday people are drowning. Gas prices have surged past $4.00, families are cutting back, and nearly 80% of Americans are changing how they live just to survive. And why? Reckless tariffs. A costly war with Iran. Policies that hit working people first and hardest. Even Republicans are starting to admit the truth: affordability is becoming a political nightmare heading into the midterms. Trump promised prosperity. Americans got higher prices, shrinking paychecks, and economic anxiety at record levels. This isn’t a “short-term pain.” This is a pattern. And voters are noticing.

BREAKING: Donald Trump PLASTERS HIS FACE on new U.S. passports, breaking with every modern precedent. If your passport is due for renewal anytime soon, you may want to get that renewal processed as soon as possible, at least before the State Department begins issuing the newest editions of US passports. Why? Well, no modern American passport has ever before featured a sitting president's image. In fact, no foreign passport features the head of state of any country in the world, either. So, naturally, Donald Trump is about to change that — with his scowling inauguration portrait superimposed over the Declaration of Independence, all signed in gold, in what many Americans would consider the desecration of the 250th anniversary of America edition of US passports. The Bulwark has learned that the State Department is finalizing a redesign of the U.S. passport to include Trump's likeness on the inside cover. A "limited run" of 25,000 passports is reportedly being planned. The White House confirmed the design by sending reporters a link to a Fox News exclusive. A Georgetown University passport historian called the decision "wacky." That may be the understatement of the year. The current passport's inside cover features Francis Scott Key watching the bombardment of Fort McHenry, alongside the closing lines of the Star-Spangled Banner. The back cover features the Earth, the moon, the Voyager spacecraft, and a quote from 19th-century activist Anna Julia Cooper: "The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class — it is the cause of humankind." Trump is replacing that with his own face. Scowling. In gold. This fits a pattern so obvious it barely needs explaining. Trump's signature will appear on U.S. currency. His face is on National Park passes. His name is on the Kennedy Center, the U.S. Institute of Peace, a new class of battleships, a prescription drug website, custodial children's savings accounts, and the One Big Beautiful Bill. His personal branding appears on federal buildings. The White House East Wing was demolished to build him a ballroom. And now his face goes in your passport. The document you need to leave the country. The document Caitlyn Jenner can't use anymore because of the Trump administration's policies. The document that the SAVE America Act would require every American to present before casting a vote. Think about that last part carefully. Trump wants his face on the document you'll need to prove you're allowed to vote. The document that, thanks to his own policies, millions of Americans either don't have or can no longer use accurately. The cause of freedom, Anna Julia Cooper wrote, is the cause of humankind. That Trump replaced her quote with his signature tells us everything we need to know about Trump’s attitude toward freedom. Please like and share this post if you think your passport should represent America — not boost the ego of its narcissistic, dementia-laden president.

@Acyn @MalcolmNance Don’t hate America, hate trump and all the people that surround him because most people are not on his side. We are NOT in agreement with this action. It’s only a lousy few that have done this….without agreement of Congress.
