This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

I do think that Dems really, *really* need to do a massive information push about the blatant markets manipulation and $ billions being openly funneled to Trump &:his family. And y'know what? That can actually be prosecuted in '29 even under Trump v US. And an expanded Ct can kill blanket pardons.
