We took a little β€œexcursion”.

YOU MORONS, IF YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE, ARREST THEM!!!
And why the F did you fire most of the FBI Counter terrorism team. If there's a domestic incident, it's on Trump, Noem and Patel's hands, NO ONE ELSE'S!

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

Trump to Local 12 Cincinnati: "There's never been a better year for a president. I've been rated. That includes the stoppage of 8 wars with a 9th to come. The economy is roaring. It's phenomenal. That's why I'm here. This is an excursion, a little excursion, and I think it's only that."

Do you get credit for ending a war you started, that didn't even accomplish your objectives?

Forgoing food. Cutting back on utilities. Driving less. Borrowing money.

These are the sacrifices that tens of millions of people are making to afford their health care expenses, according to a West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America survey released.

Can't wait for the post mortem that concludes the majority of those missiles were inappropriately or unnecessarily fired. Immature, unqualified little boys playing war.

They have cards because they have Zelensky. He's a smart, strategic leader who listens to advisors, makes plans and follows through. ALL qualities Trump lacks.
