I didn’t realize “hope” was an investment strategy. Wall Street traders are suckers if they’re betting based on anything Trump says.

Trump Media reported 2025 revenue of $3.68 million alongside a net loss of $712.06 million. What a business genius. Nunes too. DJT is down almost 40% just since the start of the year (< 3 mos. ago!) and is still wildly overvalued by any sane metric.

Mother and child. Ukraine, 1942. Never forget. Never repeat. Heed the lessons of history. Stop tolerating fascism. Stop accepting the cold-blooded murder of innocent citizens. Just stop.

Over a decade ago, I thought a sensible place to put my retirement savings would be in the #Vanguard Target Retirement 2030 Fund. I guess not.

Sorry — no sympathy for any 2024 voter who took *anything* Trump ever said at face value.
