Trump just launched a VICIOUS ATTACK on gun ownership, but lest anyone be confused, Trump’s ideology hasn’t changed. It’s that he needs to shift blame, so why not shift it to the guy legally carrying a gun and away from his ICE goons.

Is the Epstein chaos a setup to get rid of Trump without directly confronting him? The “there is no list” excuse looks like loyalty — but fuels MAGA rage. Perfect way to break the cult from inside.

Today Trump confused political asylum with “insane asylums,” threatened 100% tariffs, and said someone’s wife would leave him in two minutes. America’s back, baby.

MAGA is in meltdown mode after the Epstein client list that Pam Bondi “had on her desk” doesn’t exist. Did Trump cover it up? Is Trump the perpetrator or the victim? Is it the ”deep state?”

Trump asked his own defense secretary to tell him who should answer a foreign policy question… then took that person’s response as his own policy. If Biden had done this, it would be a week of “25th Amendment” demands on Fox News

Doocy: “Is there a left-wing militia threat to ICE?” Trump: “There’s money, weapons, people…something’s going on.” This isn’t dodging. It’s not understanding questions and struggling to parse language.

He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations.
