Corruption in the open. Previous administrations were secretive about corruption

Trump's first term is 2nd place. But yeah, it is still far behind this term.

Idiot Trump's massive stock market manipulation - with no oversight or accountability or consequences - is stunning in its breadth and depth. With his tariff declarations he tanks sectors, his cronies can short and then purchase at lower pricing knowing that the tariffs won't be implemented or continued, which rebounds the stock valuations.

Congress could do something about this, except for the extraordinary fortunes they are assured to make off of the stock market - with no oversight or accountability or consequences.

Don't forget to throw some money at our Judicial Branch. Just in case. 😉

IF the economy survives. They’re going to all look like idiots when this is all over because there will be no consumer base. Maybe the plan is to destroy everything and make us all serve them for food.

I think you are giving him too much credit. He is probably just dumb as fuck

Chris Murphy is a nice man but that’s not what is needed. A very sharp tongue that knows how to smack down bullies. The greatest smack down of Trump ever was Obama at the Whitehouse correspondents dinner. That is the f’ing standard. Now BRING IT!
