If anyone else other than Trump did anything wrong it was like the world was ending. When it's Trump everyone has kid gloves on.

That’s because no one trusts what Trump says, even his supporters. It’s literally what a supporter of his said to me when the tariffs were first talked about weeks ago. “Oh he won’t go through with it.” So you are okay supporting someone who will lie to you. Okay

Literally the only ideological value they have at this point is 'owning the libs.' if it hurts the people they hate they're fine with it hurting them too. They will eat shit so you have to smell their breath.

That’s the dumb voters. The leadership pretty clearly put out Project 2025 and it’s incredibly unpopular.
