Summary

Seventy days into his second term, Donald Trump faces growing internal turmoil and public backlash. Allies report he’s making late-night angry calls, upset over negative press and policy setbacks.

The "Signalgate" scandal and GOP resistance to new tariffs have shaken his administration. Trump blames National Security Adviser Mike Waltz for a messaging blunder and resents criticism of his deportation efforts.

His attempts to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine have faltered.

Republicans fear economic fallout from his trade policies, raising concerns about recession and inflation.

The orange cunt would have an aneurysm if only the "Press" actually treated him fairly. Instead they sane wash his bullshit, and tiptoe around him without ever using the words "Liar", "convicted felon" or "rapist"..... The press have never treated anyone so favorably, and still he whines and cries like a stuck little pig. He gets $1 billion free publicity every single day. Fuck him with a cactus. No lube ! Edit: And fuck the press! They are responsible for Drumpf!

What about providing him gympie-gympie toilet paper?

D. moroides is notorious for its extremely painful sting which may leave victims suffering for weeks or even months. It is reputed to be the most venomous plant in Australia, if not the world.

The trichomes stay in the skin for up to a year, and release the toxin cocktail into the body during triggering events such as touching the affected area, contact with water, or temperature changes.

MSM heavily benefited from trump being center of attention, and most of them are owned by conservatives anyways. just like fb, youtube, reddit right wing gaffes drives traffic.

Time to make their actions criminal imo, although that is just a pipedream currently. They are all traitors.

If we ever get out of this mess and have our own version of the Nuremberg trials I hope to see many media execs and on-air personalities (obviously especially but not limited to those of Fox News) hanged for their part in all of this.
