Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
Former White House newsman @ronfournier.bsky.social is saddened that “dozens of [current reporters] and your corporate bosses are planning to honor Trump with his presence Saturday at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner celebrating freedom of the press."

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.
They arrested veterans and not the January 6 insurrectionists? How dysfunctional is that?
Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Hungary brought out 79% of the vote. Young people.
If only America could be this passionate about government.
The Trump administration is considering a bailout for the United Arab Emirates over economic losses sustained as a result of the U.S. war with Iran. President Trump and his family also happen to have extensive business ties with the UAE. trib.al/I8qYULH
