Car salesman
If Donald Trump wants to start selling cars from the White House he needs to resign from office. There are plenty of places to sell cars and he seems to have the traits of a car salesman.
Flowers
It’s not the official flower of the South, but the azaleas blooming here in Diamondhead are soooo beautiful. They are gorgeous and blooming everywhere. Outstanding!
Terrorists?
President Trump is calling protesters at Tesla plants terrorists, but he pardoned protesters who invaded and damaged the Capitol.
‘Illegal’ boycott
President Trump said on his little social media site that the boycott of Tesla is illegal. Which is odd, seeing as I’m old enough to remember when he was all about boycotting Bud Light, Disney, the NFL, Target and so on and so on.
He did that
For the person looking for “I did that” stickers, sorry they were all sold out during the last administration.
VA cuts
As a combat veteran, I appreciate the DOGE and president’s cuts at the VA. If you’re not a veteran, you’d never know there’s hundreds of people hiding in there doing absolutely nothing.
Things are happening
Egg prices are soaring, our 401 (k)s are tanking, the stock market is in freefall ... but we’ve renamed a bunch of stuff, so that’s great.
A failure
Mr. President, you may be able to afford a Tesla, but the majority of Americans can’t even afford their monthly bills. Just admit you have no clue what you are doing.
A fraud
The “richest man in the world” turns out to be the most in-debt man in the world, and has to get the government to bail him out of his massively irresponsible debt. How’s that for government efficiency?
Distractions
All the chaos caused by daily declarations and threats makes my head spin. It keeps us distracted from all the air traffic issues, falling stock markets, inflation, stupid tariffs, firings, roll back of environmental regulations, his affair with communist leaders. I could go on and on.
Facts, not fear
Do your fact checking about social Security and medicare/medicaid “cuts”. The current Administration DOGE group are looking at any fraud, waste, abuse,and possible corruption and identify if that exists. If it does then take steps to stop it. They are not cutting any of these entitlements, so don’t listen to the fear mongers who keep saying these programs are being cut.
Winning
I am absolutely giddy with excitement anticipating being so rich I won’t know how to spend all my money. You should be too. Don’t doubt it, our illustrious potentate has spoken and he always speaks only truth, doesn’t he?
