Trump is so out of control.. He is like the boy who cried wolf too many times

[Peacetrain]

This tariff thing is completely backfiring on him. He has threatened and backed off so many times.. TACO man.. our former economic allies have moved on and made new deals with other countries.. Canada is doing great without us for example.

I get so depressed knowing we have three years and six months to go.. but when I start thinking about the future and better possibilities.. The dark veil starts to lift

I am so happy to see Rob Sand running for Gov. of Iowa.. Gives me hope .

I would love to see some younger Democrats (not Independents) run for the Democratic spot for President..

I like Tim Walz and hope he considers running

I really like Pete Buttigieg, he is so knowledgeable and would make a great President..

Alas for us and the rest of the civilized world, "Trump" is easily spelled and pronounced.

I think he manipulates the press by simply doing and saying outrageous stuff that gets headlines and wild responses. When things go wrong he just blames the media or sacrifices someone down stream from him.
His acolytes praise him for "doing something" no matter how harmful, dumb, or dangerous it is. To him governance is pure showbiz and he's the star. He's a very shallow man preaching to very shallow people who can't see beyond the rhinestones and spotlights.

He's good at the endless razzle-dazzle that enchants the Rubes. Just as Al Capone was good at smuggling liquor
