"Absent from the list is Trump himself, who has said that he is helping to pay for the project. 'It’s being paid for a hundred percent by me and some friends of mine,' he said last year, days after demolition began on the old East Wing."

Trump's brain is busted: "You couldn't vote. They wouldn't let you vote. And they grabbed her and they said 'you'll vote over here,' and they took her to a Democrat area. She voted. She came back. You couldn't vote. They came back late in the night."

You're a guard at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park and Donald Trump is being mauled by a tiger. You can either save the president or shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo; do you select high contrast color film, or do you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

Trump had people arrested to cover up his incompetence. An impeachable offense for any other president. For Trump, probably just about the 17th worst thing he did that week.

"Patel’s FBI is not just bringing fewer criminal cases than under former President Joe Biden — it’s also bringing fewer than it did under the first Trump term, the MS NOW review of DOJ data shows." www.ms.now/news/crime-s...

Crime stats touted by Kash Patel are bolstered by arrests made by state and local agencies, not FBI
An analysis of publicly available data from the Justice Department shows repeated claims made by the FBI director are false or misleading.
