To commemorate his first 100 Days in Office, Donald Trump had an interview with Kristen Welker of NBC’s “Meet the Press”.
Trump expressed doubt that he had to obey the federal courts on the issue of the Alien Enemies Act not being able to be used as a justification of mass deportation of immigrants, with many of them going to the horrendous prison in El Salvador that the Trump Administration is paying to take many deported migrants, many of whom are not involved in any Venezuelan gang, or having an otherwise criminal record. This includes Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a case which has been dragging on for nearly two months.
The idea of due process seems insignificant to Trump, and he “passed the buck” to Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is outrageous in her utterances, along with many other Trump Cabinet members!
So America is in a clear constitutional crisis, but also Trump is creating continued crises over his “expansionist” goals in foreign policy.
Therefore, Trump doubled down on the concept of taking Greenland away from Denmark, possibly by military force, and will continue to promote Canada as the “51st State”, when he meets this week with the Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney, whose party had an amazing revival in the recent national elections.
He also insulted Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett for being outspoken, calling her low level intellect, a characterization he used in 2024 against his Presidential opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. So the common theme is to insult intelligent, educated, outspoken black women, a clear sign of racism!
Trump came across during the interview as overly combative, delusional, and clearly intending to defy the Constitution, rule of law, and the federal courts!
The mentally incompetent person in the White House is putting a 100% tariff on foreign movies.

Now how the heck is he going to do that?! Jack up ticket prices?! This is getting ridiculous!
If it comes to Trump using military force to take Greenland, the military needs to disobey the order.

Trump claims credit for good parts of economy, blames Biden for bad parts.

That’s bonkers. And completely dishonest as well.
When asked if he needs to uphold the Constitution, Trump says: ‘I don’t know’ .

That alone should lead Congress to IMMEDIATELY impeach and convict him. But of course, Republicans in Congress will do nothing, because they SUCK.
This is batsh** crazy…

Like the rest of his tariffs, his movie tariffs are illegal and unconstitutional.

Hegseth is a DISASTER.
Order by Hegseth to cancel Ukraine weapons caught White House off guard.
“Roughly a week after Donald Trump started his second term as president, the U.S. military issued an order to three freight airlines operating out of Dover Air Force Base in Delaware and a U.S. base in the United Arab Emirates: Stop 11 flights loaded with artillery shells and other weaponry and bound for Ukraine.”

Israel plans to occupy and flatten all of Gaza if no deal by Trump’s trip.

Wildly unacceptable. Also, for everyone who actually argued, insanely, that Trump would be BETTER than Biden or Harris for the people of Gaza, just WTF??? It was delusional then, it’s even more obviously delusional now.
