That’s because the documented facts are so awful: Trump constantly deceived the public and interfered in every element of the government’s response, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths that were, according to his own advisers, unnecessary…” “… In late March 2020, Robert Kadlec, a senior HHS official, went to Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, with a plan to mass-distribute masks. When Kushner learned that the masks wouldn’t arrive until June, he exploded. “We’ll all be dead by June,” he told Kadlec…” “… **By orders of magnitude, it’s the most lethal betrayal of American citizens by their own president** …” That last bolding mine. ---

I am pissed off that the mainstream news is running articles about how Ivanka gave money for the recovery of the demolished condo in Miami. How many thousands of other people have done at least that much, if not more? ---

Well, he’s not wrong. > How many Americans rightly concerned about Brittany Spears’ conservatorship had no problems with America’s conservatorship under blue state governors for the past year??? I for one, do not. It’s the _red_ state governors I would suspect of skimming into their pockets more than they allow people in the state to have, want control the citizens’ bodies and otherwise play fast and loose with the legal system. ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > I doubt Trump even remembers that Barron exists. Barron’s not quite old enough to be considered a disappointment and he’s still relatively new and shiny, so he’s currently second. Tiffany’s the one he forgets exists, and it’s probably for the best from her perspective. ---
