Trump & Hegseth are war criminals. The US Southern Command posted it struck another small boat in the Caribbean, killing 4 it called “narco-terrorists” with no evidence. This brings the number of strikes to more than 70 & the number killed in strikes to more than 230 people. The admin claims ⬇️

Trump's puppets are dismantling the Kennedy Center. National treasures are being removed. Gifts from foreign nations in memory of JFK are disappearing! Congress needs to conduct an audit & the Trump-appointed board should be charged with theft!

Trump is an expert in nothing. Zero. Nada. He’s a stupid dumb fuck with an IQ of 75, which was reported years ago. His own mother told a reporter he was stupid & a sociopath. She was right on both counts.

A new AP-NORC poll shows only 26% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the economy, & just 17% approve of how he’s handling the cost of living. These are comparable to GW Bush’s ratings during the 2008 financial crisis & GHW Bush’s just before he was swept out of office.
