      He’s above the law, lol. You think this’ll be the thing that gets him in trouble? I’m sure he commits a crime like this every single day. The legal system just doesn’t apply to 99% of rich people.

        The only time it does is when the crime they commit is against other rich people.

    Believe it or not, that’s the ideal outcome short of impeachment.

    The economy is fucked, and we have proof his government has been lying about the numbers. An obstructionist Trump lets Dems continue to rightly blame him for it, and Republicans with any luck take it on the chin again in 2028.

      You’re right, we should do absolutely nothing about all the idiotic bills this Congress has passed, including slashing ACA subsidies for everyone. Let’s just let the moron do what he wants.

      Of course, his voters will see it as dems being at fault for only passing bills that weren’t any good (Trump didn’t approve of them after all) and thus if dems get the majority in 2026, they’ll be at fault for everything that happened in 2025-2026 in addition to already being at fault for everything negative that happened from 2017-2025.

      And they will reelect him in 2028.

    It’d be pretty cool if the Democratic Party had fewer Republicans in it. I suspect this Haley Stevens revelation today is but a visible pimple with a several-pound, teeth-and hair-laden conjoined twin lurking underneath. If true, expect more of the same from the orange scrotum.

      The problem is that he will still throw executive orders left and right.

      Maybe the tantrums at not getting what he wants would give him a heart attack. I was hoping the all the rallies would do that.

      I still want my dog to live longer than Trump.

      It would be very funny to see the 2027 Congress pushing the bipartian “Infinity Money for Israel Act” which Trump vetos out of spite.

      But like so much else with The Don, it’s gonna be TACO Tuesday every time he suffers a marginal amount of pressure.

          A party?

          I mean, I suppose an entire planet erupting in celebration could be considered one singular party, but I’d say it’d be more like thousands or millions of smaller parties all occurring at once.
