Reading Will Saletan, I canāt help but wonder what the next round of Trump advisers and cabinet members will look like. How do you go downhill from these people?
I woke up this morning thinking that the Felon has given up on his "promises" to end the war in Ukraine and to build a beautiful resort in "U.S owned" Gaza after he removes millions of Palestinians. Neither have we recently heard much about his taking over Panama and annexing Greenland. All BIG talk from a guy who is incapable of being effective in any setting. So he resorts to sending goons to kidnap immigrants (legal or not) and withholding federal funds from important organizations and threatening universities. He's a petty little drip who CLAIMS he will make America great again....but hasn't a clue about how to actually make anything great....so he heads to the golf course where he has to CHEAT to win a game.
