- Trump says that Qatar offering him a $400 million plane is a “nice gesture”. A nice gesture is passing the salt and pepper. A nice gesture is opening a door. A nice gesture is saying "good morning". A $400 million jet is graft.
- For the "fiscal conservatives" out there: Trump wants to send $257M to the Kennedy Center—a 6x increase in federal funding. Why? For marble columns & vanity upgrades, while they gut SNAP & kick 8.6 million off Medicaid. Lavish excess while people suffer. Nero had a marble tub—Trump wants his.
- Today’s horror stories from the Trump world: Temporary protection status taken from Afghanistan, who helped our troops Major cut to healthcare and food assistance to children seniors and the disabled Trump not satisfied with Air Force One wants to take a emolument violating gift of airplane
- Dems: passed laws slashing insulin & drug prices nationwide. Trump: sabotages every bit of it he can, launches a trade war, prices explode. Also Trump: “👉👈 gosh guys, maybe think about lowering drug prices? But only if you want... Please?" A useless EO, brought to you by a useless administration.
- We can't let foreign governments influence US policy by BRIBING the POTUS. I thought that was obvious. Nobody gives away $400M luxury jets for fun. The question is, what is Qatar getting? That's what the GOP & Pam Bondi—a former Qatar lobbyist—aren't interested in asking. We're going to find out.
