Trump's 0 for 4 on his midterm report card.
He promised to make the economy bigger and better, lower prices immediately, end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, and stop endless wars. He's delivered on none of it.
Pelosi’s taking $5 million. Trump’s taking $500 million.
He took the unethical steroid needle and pumped it straight into his biceps.
But corruption is rampant from both parties and it would be dishonest of me to pretend otherwise.
The difference is scale. Trump has done it to the 29th power.
What used to be a quiet, genteel Washington corruption has become an open, brazen, billion-dollar operation.
And until we’re honest about both sides of it, nothing changes.
@Rosenbergradio What I don’t understand is @7BOOMERESIASON is obviously a man of integrity and morals. How is he okay with Trump? Trump doesn’t have any of the respectful qualities as a human that Boomer often preaches. Selflessness, professionalism, respect of other humans, good morals.
Let me walk you through what happened one hour before Trump announced the five day moratorium on Iran strikes.
$1.5 billion in notional S&P E-mini futures contracts. Four to six times normal activity.
One hour before the announcement.
Simultaneously, $192 million in crude oil futures purchased at the same time.
They made between $300 and $400 million dollars off those trades.
Trump claimed he spoke to an Iranian official to negotiate the moratorium.
The Iranians said that person doesn't exist and the conversation never happened.
This is not the first time.
It has happened multiple times. He says something. The trade goes on. He says another thing. The market moves.
But whatever you call it — they are laughing at you and they are laughing at me while they do it.
Hunter Biden sold a painting and Washington lost its mind.
These people are making hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars trading on information that only exists inside the most powerful office in the world.
I think we are dramatically underreporting how much money is actually being made here.
This isn't politics anymore.
This is a financial operation running out of the White House.
@RealSkipBayless How are you in the sports field? No idea what you’re talking about. He’s left handed and went up with a right hand incredibly under control layup with a guy all over him. It was not awkward at all.
The President of the United States learned that Robert Mueller had died.
And he picked up his phone and typed:
“Good. I’m glad he’s dead.”
I need you to stop.
Put down whatever you’re doing and feel the full weight of those words.
Good. I’m glad he’s dead.
Said by the man who holds the most powerful office in the history of human civilization. The office of Washington. Of Lincoln. Of Roosevelt standing in the rubble of Pearl Harbor promising a nation trembling in the dark that we would rise.
That office.
Those words.
Now let me tell you who Robert Mueller was.
He did not have to go to Vietnam.
He had every reason not to. A Princeton degree. A blown-out knee. A future waiting for him in the comfort of civilian life.
He waited a full year for that knee to heal, just so he could serve.
Let that sink in.
He walked into hell when other men were running from it. He came home with a Bronze Star for heroism and a Purple Heart soaked in the blood of his sacrifice. He spent the next four decades standing in the breach, as a prosecutor, as FBI Director, as the man who held this nation together in the smoldering ash of September 12th, 2001, when we were all afraid and we needed someone steady, someone serious, someone who loved this country more than he loved himself.
He was all of those things.
He was a Republican.
He was, by every honest measure, an American hero.
And the President danced on his grave.
