Trump had the chance to lower housing costs for millions of Americans. Instead, he’s throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler because we won’t let him rig the midterm elections.
Totally unfit for office.

🚨 The Utah Republican Party paid a firm $4.3 million to falsify the signatures of dead people.
The election fraud was conducted in an attempt to legalize gerrymandering in Utah.
Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.
Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.
So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.

The problem for Trump is that his Department of Justice keeps losing cases that it needs to access this critical data. This humiliating string of defeats threatens to derail Trump’s signature plan to subvert the 2026 midterm elections. https://t.co/kYAo6iLexT
BREAKING: NO JET FOR YOU! Jamie Raskin reminds Trump that the Constitution’s ban on gifts does NOT contain an exception for $400 million Boeings!
Queried on the matter by PabloReports on the steps of the Capitol, Rep. Jamie Raskin pushed back on the idea that Donald Trump could walk away from office with control over the luxury jet gifted by Qatar, pointing to a part of the Constitution that MAGA Republicans suddenly seem reluctant to discuss.
Asked whether Trump gets to keep the aircraft after leaving office, Raskin's answer was simple.
"No, he does not. You know why? Because the Constitution says he can't do it."
It's worth noting that Raskin isn't some pundit offering an opinion. He's a former constitutional law professor and ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, making him one of the people in Congress most qualified to explain what the Constitution actually says. The committee handles constitutional questions surrounding presidential power and accountability.
The issue isn't hypothetical. Trump has repeatedly defended accepting the plane and has said it would eventually be transferred to his presidential library after he leaves office.
Critics argue that it amounts to keeping control of a $400 million gift from a foreign government. Congress never approved that arrangement.
The irony is that MAGA keeps describing the aircraft as a "gift" that saves money. Even setting aside the constitutional questions, the plane still has to be rebuilt to Air Force One standards, estimates for which have ranged as high as $1 billion – hardly "free."
Raskin pointed to the Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause, which prohibits presidents from accepting gifts, payments, offices, or titles from foreign governments without congressional consent.
The plane doesn't belong to Trump, Raskin insisted. If he wants to keep it, he has to do what every other president has done and ask Congress.
To make the point, Raskin brought up Abraham Lincoln, someone Trump likes to compare himself to. During the Civil War, Lincoln received elephant tusks from the King of Siam and still asked Congress whether he could keep them. Congress said no, and the gift went to the State Department.
Lincoln asked permission over elephant tusks. Trump wants to let slide a $400 million jet with at least that much investment by taxpayers in renovations.
Raskin said that if Trump refuses to follow the constitutional process, Congress can take possession of the aircraft and determine what happens to it, including returning it to Qatar.
This issue is remarkably simple. If a foreign government gives a president a $400 million aircraft, does the Constitution apply?
We agree with Raskin. There is no rational argument that it doesn’t. He can't have it.

In 2024, MAGAt and Aberdeen, WA City Councilman Riley Tyrel Carter was sentenced to a minimum of 46.5 years in prison after being convicted of three counts of child rape, four counts of incest, and one count of child molestation. The relative was under 11 years old when the crime occurred.
Prior to his arrest, Carter heavily aligned himself with the MAGA political movement and went viral for wearing a red hat with the slogan “Make Pedophiles Afraid Again”—a play on Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan. The image frequently resurfaced online following his arrest and subsequent conviction as an example of extreme political irony.
Trump blew up a bill that would lower housing costs and make it easier for Americans to afford a home. The truth is that if you’re not a billionaire or one of his buddies, he doesn’t care about you.
