Good advice for opposing an inept, bungling, weak FOTUS:
Trump has managed to make himself an object of ridicule and mockery around the world. His approval numbers are under water. He's managed to take a thriving economy that was the envy of the developed world and ruin it in only three months.
And the worst of it is his failures: To "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed," creating a Constitutional crisis.
What did those who voted for him think would happen when they decided that a convicted felon and sexual assaulter, cheater, liar, and fraud would be a competent, honest, and decent leader? Trump is the opposite of all that is good and honorable.
This is all on those who betrayed America by putting this pile of garbage into the Oval Office.
CONSERVATIVE BRET STEPHENS, NYTIMES:
When the president completed his extraordinary political comeback in November, he was at the summit of his political power. He has eroded it every day since. With Matt Gaetz as his first choice for attorney general. With the needlessly bruising confirmation fights over the absurd choices of Hegseth, Robert Kennedy Jr., Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard. With making an enemy of Canada. With JD Vance’s grotesque outreach to the German far right. With the Oval Office abuse of Volodymyr Zelensky. With the helter-skelter tariff regime. With threats of conquest that antagonize historic allies for no plausible benefit. With dubious arrests and lawless deportations that can make heroes of unsympathetic individuals. And now with threats to the basic economic order that sent gold soaring to a record high of $3,500 an ounce and the Dow on track to its worst April since the late Hoover administration.
Democrats wondering how to oppose Trump most effectively might consider the following. Drop the dictator comparisons. Rehearse the above facts. Promise normality and offer plans to regain it. And remember that no matter how malignant he may be, there’s no better opponent than a face-plant president stumbling over his untied laces."
NOTE: FDR famously said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
Today, America has to fear Trump himself.
His completely, unhinged, uncalculated actions are destroying America's economy and moral standing in the world.

There are those who laud his "accomplishments." Viewing his decisons and actions through the filters of Trump's half truths and outright lies. Wilfully blocking out truth and reality as it is and accepting propaganda because it plays to their egoic desires, ignorance, and delusions.
There is absolutely no way anyone can expect to get through to them. Their grasping after their egos desires, and the attachment to their reified beliefs, developed over years of conditioning has rendered their views so opaque they are incapable of seeing truth or reality.
They've become so invested in the lies and propaganda spewed by Trump the Felon and his party that even if they starter to recognize his con they'd likely be too embarrassed (their ego) to ever admit their gross error.
The result of Trump on our nation's standing in the world is a huge negative, and the impact on the people at large is an equally huge negative. But as we all know, Trump has never been in it for all Americans. He's only been in it to enrich himself and take care of his billionaire buds and the sycophants that continue to kiss his ass and do his bidding in home if getting a sliver of power themselves.
And America suffers as the result.
At https://poetsandquants.com/2021/01/07/whartons-shame-trump-its-most-famous-graduate-is-a-disgrace/ we learn about Trump the college student, one Wharton professor noting "He was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had"
Small wonder he threatens colleges, Especially Harvard - https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2025/03/28/a-harvard-scientist-from-russia-has-been-detained-by-ice-since-february-for-failing-to-declare-frog-embryos/ The phony president of revenge.
From the Wharton link above:
WHY WHARTON SHOULD STRIP TRUMP OF HIS WHARTON CREDENTIAL
The professors—all of whom teach ethics at Wharton—believed the university should revoke Trump’s 1968 undergraduate business degree if a probe can confirm the claim originally made by his niece in her best-selling, tell-all memoir published last month. “When a student gains admission by fraudulent means, it undermines the integrity of our academic standards and fairness of our admissions process,” the professors wrote in a letter to Penn President Amy Gutmann. “Concerns about cheating are exacerbated when the alleged perpetrator is a public figure in high office. Failing to investigate an allegation of fraud at such a level broadcasts to prospective students and the world at large that the playing field is not equal, that our degrees can be bought, and that subsequent fame, wealth, and political status will excuse past misconduct.”
From the second link:
A Russian scientist at Harvard Medical School was detained by ICE in February after she failed to declare frog embryos at customs.
According to a statement from her lawyer, Gregory Romanovsky, Kseniia Petrova has been a foreign scholar conducting biomedical research at Harvard on a J-1 visa since May 2023.
When she returned from a trip abroad on Feb. 16, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer at Logan International Airport discovered that Petrova had not completed the required customs paperwork for a “non-hazardous scientific sample” she was transporting from an affiliated lab in France.
Under U.S. customs laws, CBP can seize the item and issue a fine, Romanovsky said. Instead, CBP canceled Petrova’s visa and detained her.
Every American who voted for Trump is responsible for what has happened to this country in 3 short months. America is unrecognizable.
It does look like he is trying to destroy the economy so he can watch it come back and take credit for the fastest growth in employment in history. It worked for his predecessor according to Dave.
Now we have AOC, the spokesperson for the green new deal, on the stump complaining about the one percent-ers and corporations. Of course she is on the stump with a one percent-er traveling in a older model corporate jet which is a high polluter. You disagree with me on her being clueless but this just proves my case. At least obama was aware of the optics of everything he did so maybe he can teach her that it's not about what you do but how it looks.
It actually proves nothing skud. It merely is argument that supports your beliefs.
