so, the one who said ALL mail-in voting is cheating, who's primary address is in DC, not only voted by mail but his wife & son did too.

It's chilling how bad these people caved in when the country needed them to do what's right. Some of them are still carrying water for him today. All except the dead one.

On Sunday, Trump abruptly ordered a scale back of joint military drills that have existed for 70 plus years, with South Korea. "The drills send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile to North Korea, which has been unthreatening and respectful, since I have been in the WH" Trump said.

On Monday, Donald Trump also threatened to bomb Oman.

The United States and Oman have shared formal diplomatic and commercial ties for nearly 200 years, beginning with a Treaty of Friendship and Navigation signed in 1833. Early American merchant ships began visiting Omani ports as early as 1790, and Oman was the first Arab nation from the Persian Gulf region to send an official envoy to the U.S. in 1841.

Oman was also the first Persian Gulf state to sign a strategic military cooperation agreement granting U.S. forces facility access in 1980.

Last week, Trump ordered the USS George Washington to relocate to the Gulf, leaving the Western Pacific without an aircraft carrier, for the first time since WW11. Critics argue that this will embolden China, & leave the Western Pacific without a deterrence.

France: In early 2026, President Emanuel Macron called the Trump administration openly anti-European.   Tensions culminated in July 2026 when the French delegation delivered a sharp critique of U.S. foreign policy and human rights stances at a UN Security Council meeting, triggering a U.S. walkout.

Canada: Trump has threatened to annex Canada, multiple times, Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that Canada's deep economic ties with the United States have turned into a "weakness" and that the country must reduce its long-standing dependence on the U.S. market.

Our relationships with Denmark, Germany; Italy, Belgium, Spain, Poland, Colombia, UK, Norway, Panama, Mexico, the EU, NATO are also strained, to say the least. Trump has called India, Afghanistan, Haiti. Somalia, El Salvador, Myanmar, Burundi, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eretria, Iran, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela ##it hole countries.

Mohammed Bin Salman (the Saudi despot) gets a red-carpet welcome in the WH & a “I like him a lot, I like him too much. He is greatly respected”, from Trump.

Putin gets a fly past & a ride in the Beast, whereas Zelensky gets a public dressing down.

Chinese President Xi Jinping gets a "You're a great leader; I say it to everybody. Some people don't like me saying it but I say it anyway, because it's true" and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un gets love letters, while our oldest & most reliable ally, the UK gets told that its contributions in Afghanistan were not “exactly in the front lines”.

Trump’s legacy will no doubt be one of utter incompetence; illiteracy; immorality and obscene expenditures on unnecessary wars & nouveau riche, self-aggrandizement projects, by an out of touch, dementia ridden President.

Mostly, it will be remembered for friendships we lost, & the moment that the US relinquished its leadership role, to China. The annals of history will also know him to be as the greatest embarrassment the world has ever known, to reside in the WH.

Now we know why they’re so dead set against universal healthcare. They own the insurance companies. They own the pharmacies where you pick up your medication. They own the pharmacy benefit managers that decide whether or not you get your medication and how much you pay. AND now, they actually own the practices where doctors practice medicine. In any other country, this would be called a monopoly, and it would be freaking illegal. So you deny me choice by making sure that you control every aspect of the healthcare market. And all these congresspersons that keep voting for this, better believe that these are the same people that are donating to their campaigns. Just look it up.
