Delusions

For all the confused perplexed liberals out there, President Trump has simply told NATO they needed to start holding up their end of the bargain. Spending an amount of GDP that they have not met a single time in the last 50 years. Jobs are being formed using tariffs, by making U.S. products competitive with the slave-made products from China that the Democrats insist we must buy. Obama put a basketball court, Biden put in a pool, but all liberals have a meltdown because Trump wants to stop inviting dignitaries for a picnic outside the White House.

Hit the road

There seems to be a lot of airplane mishaps lately. Between the shutdown and firing or air force controllers, I think I’ll just hit the roads.

China

After all the fanfare at the Chinese Summit, President Xi made his demands clear about Taiwan. President Trump just stood around surrounded by the CEO vultures who came to “make deals.”

MAGA

For all the Make America Great Again talk, it sure looks like China is the superpower that’s rising, while we are the one that is failing.

Security

The Congressional Budget Office estimates the Golden Dome proposed by Trump will cost 1.2 trillion over 20 years. Have you noticed that the current domes are not 100% effective?

Honest for once

I appreciate President Trump telling the truth. You know, when he said he doesn’t think about everyday Americans.

Cuba

I keep hearing about how many problems Cuba has. Seems like we have enough problems here.
