Begs to be placed on Mount Rushmore
Begs for the Nobel Peace Prize
Begs for airports in his name
Begs for military parades in his honor
He's a narcissist with obvious delusions of grandeur.
Why are we entertaining it? Why is he even a thing?
Fuck this Trump shit.

There’s a lesson there.
Leigh McGowan will chew you up and spit you out.
Some people show up with slogans.
She shows up with facts, numbers, and the confidence to dismantle bad arguments in real time.
That clip is what happens when performative patriotism collides with actual priorities.
Jeff Bezos just said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax.
And honestly? He may have accidentally exposed the entire scam.
Bezos pointed to a nurse in Queens making roughly $75,000 a year and paying around $12,000 in taxes:
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”
Think about how insane this system has become.
A nurse working 12-hour shifts is taxed before she even sees her paycheck while billionaires borrow against appreciating assets, exploit loopholes, and sometimes pay lower effective tax rates than school teachers.
The average American is funding an empire they can barely afford to live in.
Wars.
Interest payments.
Corporate subsidies.
Defense contracts.
Lobbyist wish lists.
Meanwhile the person changing bedpans in Queens gets her paycheck carved up like she’s financing Rome before collapse.
The most dangerous thing Bezos said wasn’t about taxes.
It was admitting out loud that the people carrying the country on their backs are getting crushed while the system tells them it’s “normal.”
Here’s the part no one is saying:
The next president won’t get a real first term.
They’ll inherit a repair job.
Rebuilding alliances.
Restoring credibility.
Undoing damage.
An entire presidency spent fixing what Trump broke.
Texas teachers worked 187 days last year for an average salary of about $55,000. Members of the House of Representatives worked about 87 days last year for $174,000, and Mike Johnson has the audacity to complain about it??
Mike Johnson says Congress can't survive on $174k because of inflation, and uses that to justify letting members trade stocks.
Incredible take from the guy who decided his only job was taking orders from the President.
@JDVance You do not give a damn about fraud. Every one of these people gave Trump $1 million, and each of them got a pardon.
That scheme is fraud in and of itself.
This guy is calling a hospital on behalf of a new mom who was charged $1,847,392 because her baby was premature and needed to stay alive long enough to come home.
The itemized charges are dystopian. $37,464 for heel sticks on a premature infant, $58 every time a mother held her own baby skin-to-skin in the NICU, $312 for discharge teaching on how to sponge bathe a preemie and $27,590 for phototherapy lights. That’s before even getting into the NICU bed charges.
Our medical system is one of the most corrupt, exploitative and evil rackets in the world.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
These must be the end times, because Christians are actively idol worshipping a guy who exhibits ZERO morals, who bombed a school with over 100 children, who protects pedophiles, and is fighting with the Pope.
What the actual fuck, people?
Congratulations America! We are now ranked #47 in the World of Math and Science. We're stupid! But don't you worry, there's room for redemption. When we remove Florida, Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Louisiana from the data, we rise to #15.
What the living hell are we doing? Americans can’t pay for healthcare, groceries & gas but we are going to pay $1 BILLION for a freaking vanity project ballroom. Have we lost our damn minds!?!
Every damn Republican who votes for this scam needs to be voted OUT.
James Talarico: “Young people can’t afford to buy a home, but Jeff Bezos has 12. Young people can’t afford to fill up their gas tank, but Mark Zuckerberg is launching helicopters from his mega-yacht. Young people pay more than their fair share of income taxes, but someone like Elon Musk can get away without paying a penny”
