There is no US president

There's a clown in the Oval Office and a circus surrounding him. This country is rudderless. That's why the media sanewash him. It's deeply frightening to realize the reality.

owned by billionaires. If they were real media they would expose his crimes and complete incompetence of him and his cabinet and possibly save the world. What a concept right.

What’s just as frightening is that the country is being run by Trump henchmen and sycophants, disciples of P25, a cabal of fascist authoritarians capable of doing real harm to America, much of it irreparable.

the incompetence soars with ignorance and no concern for its constituents, citizens, nor general country freedoms, rights, democracy.

shithole musk republicans are effing with the stock market. Instead of allies now we have enemies. I don’t think the world hate the people of USA, just the government. Seriously the USA government is definitely evil😢

This is a goddamn slasher film - with Trump as "Leatherface" and the feckless press corp as the teen victims. A rabid dog is a more apt metaphor for what Trump really is though - an unthinking, unhinged menace to any and everyone. Oh, and for good measure, the American people in their infinite wisdom gave that animal the nuclear launch codes to the most destructive arsenal in human history,

What could possibly go wrong? Who could POSSIBLY know? Right? RIGHT?!?!?! SMFH!!! (if I hit my head hard enough, maybe I can cause CTE and just go insane for real to make the real world hurt less already.

That's how some outlets refer to Putin. Technically he can't be president because he engaged in an insurrection.

Authoritarians do not like to be made fun of.

Dan Rather once quoted a Turkish proverb.

“When a clown moves into a palace he doesn't become a king, the palace instead becomes a circus." — Turkish proverb,
