Trump detests the free enterprise system. He believes in a Soviet-style command economy with total government control. He favors foreign trade based on bribery. He opposes competition.
That's why, when a foreign country like Taiwan manufactures a product, Trump says they're "stealing" our business.

Republicans never cared about server racks and cooling systems before, but sure, let's pretend it's about economic development. Zelensky blows up Russian bot farms posing as data centers and suddenly the GOP's pet project looks a lot less innocent.

This is a reason to AVOID Medicare Advantage which should be considered CORPORATE health care! They can deny coverage where traditional Medicare won't. MA draws people in w/free gym memberships, which ensures they're getting the healthiest customers. They save on the back end by denying care!!!😡😡😡
Our Medicare Advantage plan from Humana just denied coverage for a 3-day hospital stay because my husband’s bowel
Blockage was resolved without surgery and therefore wasn’t serious enough to require in-patient care. The bill is more than our annual social security income.
This is your periodic reminder that the guy ranting and raving about "communists" and "criminals" is a 34-time convicted felon, rapist, pedophile, and insurrectionist.
It doesn't matter if 6M or 8M people attended the #NoKings rallies on October 17th. . .
What matters is that these #GetOutTheVote events had absolutely no comparable nationwide mobilization from Republicans.

First.The narrative that diesel prices in America are heavily impacted by Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries is completely fabricated.
Second.The sanctions waiver Trump just granted to Russia is using the fabricated narrative above to make it look like it's in America's national interest.
In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases.

Saw ANOTHER person say my indictment was the best thing to happen to my campaign.
Let me be clear: It severely limited what I could say, where I could go, and what I could do. I had to worry about prison AND legal fees for myself AND my (amazing) field director.
Political prosecutions aren’t fun.
holy shit ... y'all stay safe! if you don't know the DUCK method, learn it - and take bicycle helmets, shoes, band blankets with you into your shelter.
