All you folks who voted for him, I'm not here to hate. I have friends who did. But this is the reality that has become clear: he sold you a bill of goods that he has delivered none of that's all about him taking, not giving. You kept him out of jail, that's it. It's time to come to terms.

I’d love to see a second part of this article, where we come to terms with what a “politician like Trump” even means now. I assume there would be a lot of profanity and exclamation points?

Hm - wish someone would have told us that stock markets plummet and have a lot more volatility in the second term of a politician like Trump. Oh, wait, I wrote that last summer w/Roberto Foa in the Harvard Biz Review: hbr.org/2024/10/when...

All y’all down south remember this guy when you go cash in your retirement…

Tommy Tuberville: "Wall St is one of our biggest problems. They're the ones that are really standing up and pushing back against President Trump. Wall St and the globalists -- they do not want change."

The creativity of a Trump protest is unparalleled. Easier when you have so much source material, I guess?

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday! Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

Republican Congress pretty much has a choice right now: get crucified by Trump, or get crucified by their voters. Hopefully they will at least do the things that help their voters before they get inevitably fired.

Next time my buddy Brian tells me that his failure to pay up on fantasy football is because I misunderstood the game, I'm gonna say, "dude, don't be a Lutnick."

Lutnick on CBS: "You're going to see employment leaping starting today."

This is like that time my buddy Elliott borrowed 50 bucks from me, and when I asked him where it was, he said he loaned it to somebody else, so they owed it to me now…

“Couldn’t care less” about Trump fulfilling the wishes of billionaires. Care a lot about the prices that hardworking Americans face.

I’d probably quit out of sheer aggravation at being this bad at my job. I’m sure liquor helps.

In any other administration of the past 80 years, the defense secretary and the national security advisor would, following an equivalent scandal, now resign.

And the question emerges: will we be ruined by the president who gives things away on purpose or the cabinet who gives things away because they lack the capacity to understand the implications of their own actions?

Florida AG James Uthmeier: "Elon Musk is trying to eliminate government ... if you try to hurt one of these cars, we're gonna put you away ... we're gonna have law enforcement patrolling these dealerships."

If you voted for #Trump and you still think you made the right choice, consider Tom Riddle for your next open cabinet position: a proven record of leadership, an expert in his field, and creative approaches to problem solving. Can be somewhat harsh for failures, but this is the way of Trump.

#Trump should have made Obi-Wan Kenobi his AG. The "not the droids you're looking for" mind control method could be a great tool when you're trying to convince people that what they clearly see is wrong.

New in PN: AG Bondi blames deep state for nothingburger Epstein files "Bondi promises to deliver the goods to people primed by Pizzagate and Qanon to believe wild stories about cabals of evil liberals raping and murdering children. The problem is there are no 'goods' to be had."

Lex Luthor absolutely belongs in the #Trump cabinet. Superman, in his Clark Kent identity, earns a gig wage. Luthor is wealthy, and he's always trying to crush an middle class guy. This is the resume.
