He is a petulant sociopathic grifter,bankrupted dozens of times, convicted of 34 felonies, guilty civilly for sexually assaulting women,and banned from being on a charitable board because he cheated. And you think he is not a good businessman. The only thing he’s good at is lying to the public.FRAUD

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/b... all the experts say we have made a big mistake with tariffs and inflation will increase greatly,yet Trump and his minions say don’t worry it’ll be fine. His professor at Penn said he was the stupidest student he ever had and he’s in charge of our economy. We r f’ed.

My house companion of 10 years, Little Black Kitty, died last weekend at age 10 or 11. She never talked about her age. She was too young to die.Value your four-legged friends. They sure make life better.

As the crowd at #HandsOff Boston files into City Hall Plaza, someone got up on a barrier waving the flag, and folks started singing the Star Spangled Banner. This too is America.

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/u... Trump is using antisemitism to appeal to Jews and to get at his educated opposition in the Ivy schools, which his base detests. If he really wanted to go after antisemitism, he’d go after the KKK neo-Nazis proud boys but no, “They’re fine people on both sides.”

Trump Administration Set to Pause $510 Million for Brown University

The administration has now targeted five schools’ federal funding as part of a pledge to combat what it considers to be antisemitism on university campuses.

Catastrophic rain, tornadoes, flooding throughout the central US and my state of Tennessee. Trump/Musk and doge “geniuses” decimated FEMA and NOAA. And the NIH and CDC. Government is supposed to protect the people and keep them safe and healthy and Doge and Trump and Musk doing just the opposite!

Tariffs are taxes.The stock market is a measure of Trumps economic folly. Trump has wrecked our thriving economy and our social safety and health network. 47 is a monstrous out of control man-child.😫

Trump's tariff wars are making everything more expensive. And it’s about to get worse. And while we're paying more for food, medicine, appliances and car repairs, the GOP wants to slash Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP & more to give billionaires a tax cut. They do not care about working people.

First, the Trump admin started clawing back air quality funds I helped secure for Memphis. Now they’re letting companies apply for secret exemptions from the Clean Air Act—no names, no accountability. I wrote the EPA demanding the name of everyone from TN-9 on that list. We're going to find out.

Trump is lashing out with new executive orders targeted at specific law firms like Jenner&Block and WilmerHale. Why? Because they had the guts to hold him accountable. Trump can't understand and doesn't care about the Constitution, checks & balances, none of it. He wants blind loyalty and revenge
