Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 24/08/2026When presidents enter into a term, it is normal for them to blame their predecessor for the situation in front of them. People eventually tire of this. Not in MAGA land. 130

Brooks D. Simpson @bds77.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Trump's not going to change any minds tonight. Highlighting that foreign governments have tried to influence elections won't prove that he lost because of that. Watch him try to build an argument you can follow. Not his skill. Not does he stay on point. The convert will applaud, others will shrug. 140
