Serious question: Does anyone believe that Trump has even read the Constitution?

Didn't let my kids ride the school bus because of no seat belts. Highways, windy roads, etc. Makes no sense. They're grown now and they don't let their kids ride the bus either.

Someone needs to ask him who he represents. He thinks he's fine just representing those who like him. Vote him out no matter what! He's the one who needs to be monitored, not the voters.

When Trump's gone, and he will be gone, the Republicans will brag about how they all saw him for who he is. It's crucial to remember how silent they all are now. Do not forget that Trump couldn't have perpetrated these crimes without their help. Without their assistance, he'd be a distant memory.

Tillis writes in his book that he regrets voting for Hegseth and Kennedy. And he says there are about 30 of his GOP colleagues that feel the same as he does. So basically, he’s admitting they don’t have any spine. 🔄 apnews.com/article/thom...

Trump's 2018 "zero tolerance" policy was denounced on both sides of the political aisle as inhumane, and a federal court ruled it illegal. Now the Trump administration is separating families again, only this time more quietly, and away from the border.
