I didn’t know JFK wasn’t coming back. Thank you for letting us know.
He didn’t have his 4 lame duck years, so he wants to be elected to serve out his lame duck term... After that’s over, he’ll have severe Alzheimer’s and forget that he’s President, like Biden already has.
Yes, it is.
Well, the talk is that it was he CIA. That’s kind of a big deal. And that is something to beware of if you are the Pres.
People are going to have a hissy fit when they discover that LBJ/FBI/CIA conspired to kill Kennedy. (Stone’s Book!)
The agencies would be dismantled or reformed
And why didnt he do it the first go around?
They did pay.
Did not - proof please
Ukraine and Russia weren’t at war when Trump was in office
Yes they were, it was a frozen conflict since 2014 but still a conflict. The pro-agression supporters like to say Ukraine killed 10K between 2014 and 2022 via shelling. Sounds like war to me. Trump didnt call them up and in 24hrs make both sides implement the Minsk accords? Why not?
Did he mandate you take them?
That not my point. He said they were the knees bees. They are not.
Well, we all know President DeSantis ain’t gonna do crap.
Hes not my guy.
It could be that these documents expose the CIA assassination of JFK. The CIA is part of the deep state. Trump doesn’t like the deep state. Ergo, Trump has a vendetta against the CIA and wants to expose the CIA. I don’t blame him.
Thanks...
Yes character is what you do when no one is looking.
To be un-Christian when no one knows who you are is to do something “when no one is looking”
Seems many are as Christian as “Christian” Putin.
But that tag is a reminder to me as well as I can “let it rip” as well just as much as the next guy if i am not dilligent.
Judge NOT lest ye be judged… For the many they Hail Mary and seek indulgences.
Putin the Warmonger restrained his warmongering while Trump was President. It's no secret that Vlad the Invader let his bloodlust run free when 0bama and 0bama's puppet infested the White House.
If ya hate Trump, hang out elsewhere. As for finishing the Wall, Trump was begging Congres for $5 billion which is chump-change to the govt. Nancy said “we can’t afford it.” Three years later she spent three trillion on bribes, covid, and pork. Furthermore, let’s see your balance sheet.

He said he would before, and he didn’t.
And when it comes to Hillary he didn’t “lock her up!” as he should have.
Tucker Carlson mentioned a D.C. source who believed the CIA was involved with the JFK assassination. I wanted to hear Tucker follow up, but his show was canceled.
“Trump should have pardoned both Assange and Snowdon”
I don’t know about Assange, but Snowdon said he didn’t want to be outside by Trump — because he didn’t like Trump. That’s some serious TDS.
All the Trump bashers can be expected to vote for Biden since they have the same lack of critical thinking skills.
Mexico paid their police to stop the flow of drugs and illegals coming into the US.
ID say they paid for the wall
Okay. Biden’s your boy. 👍
“..Umm that is not how Trump sold it...”
He said Mexico would pay for it and was never specific. The one thing about Trump we should remember is that he actually produced on his promises. He knew what they were and worked on them and succeeded.

Energy & Environment
America’s energy revolution under President Trump produced affordable, reliable energy for customers along with stable, high-paying jobs for small businesses—all while dropping U.S. carbon emissions to their lowest level in 25 years.
The Trump Administration led the United States to become the number one producer of oil in the world while maintaining America’s position as the number one natural gas producer. The year 2019 marked the first time in 67 years that American annual gross energy exports exceeded gross energy imports.
To safeguard the environment, President Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord, after which the United States reduced carbon emissions more than any country in the agreement. Under President Trump, the United States continued to lead the world in greenhouse gas emission reductions, cutting energy-related CO2 emissions by 12 percent from 2005 to 2018.

Budget & Spending
President Trump’s Federal Budget committed to restraint while prioritizing the funding needed to rebuild our national defense and strengthen America’s borders.
Under President Trump, Congress passed the first overhaul of the United States tax code in more than 30 years, putting money into the pockets of millions of American families. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act included the launch of “Opportunity Zones,” which bring hope and a brighter future to nearly 9,000 distressed communities with tax incentives for new development.
In 2019 alone, the Trump Administration surpassed its promise of removing two existing regulations for each new regulation added, issuing 150 deregulatory actions alongside just 35 new significant regulatory actions. This deregulatory wave unleashed massive benefits for the American people and our economy.”
