    Even the democrats knew Biden was a joke. They hid him as much as possible and ultimately kicked him to the curb.

    I mean, he was so bad they replaced him with arguably the worst presidential candidate in history.

    A party completely out of touch with Americans, who opened the flood gates to unvetted immigrants in order to stack the deck so that they would never have to be held accountable by actual Americans. The media and the elites are fighting hard to rig the game. Thankfully, the American people came through this past November. We have to keep pushing.

    I wasn’t joking. We are all less safe after two weeks of Trump.

    Jan 20th Trump fires the head of the FAA
    Jan 21st Trump freezes air traffic controller hiring
    Jan 22nd Trump disbands the Aviation Saftey Advisory Committee
    Jan 28th Trump sends buyout retirement demand sent to existing employees
    Jan 29th First midair aviation collision in 16 years occurs

    We are all less safety.

    Any you didn't even include Trump's purge of potentially thousands of FBI agents. Chinese and Russian spymasters as well as potential terrorists are probably all doing high fives. Sooner or later there is going to be a major terrorist event in the US and when Congress and/or independent investigators look for the cause it will go back to inadequate intelligence attributable to the mass firing of experienced FBI agents.

    Dear Leader just fans the flames of division and keeps maga engaged and following with performative outrage politics. Now DEI is the new enemy. It wasn’t an issue before, or under Trump I. Now, because Dear Leader says so, it’s MAGA’s outrage du jour. culture wars is all the rage for maga.

    It's been suggestion that Trump's current obsession of mentioning DEI almost every time he speaks is intended to draw attention away from the Senate confirmation hearings of his multiple unqualified nominees.

    Optimistic. He isn’t that strategic. Dude is just winging it and people feel more comfortable pretending there is a plan to his madness even if it’s an underhanded plan. A shrewd jerk is more comforting than mad man. He is a mad man.

    Trump press conferences are a joke and waste of time unless you're into "alternative facts". He doesn't actually answer questions, just lies and trash talks any reporter that challenges his BS, but maga eats it up. And so it goes...

    Even if this were true (and it's not), it's still way better than not showing up to answer questions at all, like we saw with the last administration. It seems like the only rationalization lefties can offer for their own action or inaction is to tear down Trump instead of addressing their glaringly obvious shortcomings.

    I have to give Trump credit--he has told more lies in two weeks than Biden told in four years. In fact, if you take away Trump's lies, he's hardly had any press conferences worth mentioning.

    So what you're saying is that lying to the American public is way better than saying nothing at all.

    I enjoyed his presser on his first day in office where he informed us the Russia/Ukraine war had ended.

    He did say during his campaign that he could end this war immediately after taking over?

    Promises made - sheep fed.

    Sooner or later Trump will end up appeasing Vladimir Putin and then claim that he negotiated "peace in our time" just like Neville Chamberlain did when he recognized the annexation of the Sudetenland by Hitler in 1938.
