Trump is using false claims about the size and meaning of his 2024 victory to justify his power grab.

    And lets also not forget he repeatedly claimed he knew nothing about Project 2025. Not the policies. Not the people behind it.

    Now he’s claiming a mandate to execute the plan he denied having any knowledge of.

    “Thinks”? He does. Otherwise he’d be rotting in a tiny cell years ago.

      You mean Republicans by not voting for removal after successful impeachment BOTH TIMES and thus barring him from office, right???

      We didn’t even have to get here and it’s not the Dems fault we did.

        Expecting Republicans to do the ethical thing while requiring them to oppose their party is foolish. They are party over country.

          They would put an accidental bite from the wrapper of a McGriddle over this country.

        Why not both? It only would have taken one of them to actually do something, yet neither did. Sharing is caring, after all.

    He does. He is a criminal, he said before he will do criminal things, he promised again he will do criminal things, the people that elected him want him to do criminal things.

    Why would anyone expect him not to do criminal things?
