He said he would end the war in Ukraine on day one. He said he was going to put “America first.” He said he would be a peacemaker. What is true is that Trump has turned over American diplomacy to a billionaire Manhattan real estate mogul.

For Trump to succeed he needs an uneducated electorate who will believe his lies. Pay attention to what he’s doing.

Imagine having to go to work everyday and face the biggest bully in the country. Kudos to those members of the White House press corps courageous enough to ask the tough questions.

Trump refuses to follow the law and feed hungry Americans. A judge has to force him to do it. Even so, will he?

Trump secretly demolished part of the White House to make way for a gigantic party palace, that might just contain his ego.
