Trump is an evil dictator. But SCOTUS majority only has itself to blame after giving him immunity.

Trump to return every penny he has taken out of govt funds for his own use, like $10B to fund #BoardofPeace, & returned to 1K+ companies now owed refunds. Of course, the amount owed by the government to companies is much larger...at least $160 BILLION, according to news media reports. #EndCorruption

During his news conference, Trump didn't recognize that OUR government is made up of THREE BRANCHES & CONGRESS IS THE AUTHORITY OVER TARIFFS. Trump doesn't want to work with Congress & ignores it whenever he can & DUMB ASS Rs just sit there & take the slaps. #SCOTUS decision should require Trump +

Indeed, Trump is looking for a way to get around #SCOTUS ruling. During news conference, Trump has not recognized the third branch of our government. CONGRESS HAS THE POWER OVER TARIFFS. Trump ignores Congress whenever he can and the DUMB ASS Rs just sit there & take the slaps.

I LOVE how #BADBUNNY staged #SuperBowlLX show as a party or festival and featured the culture of #PuertoRico, and with saucy dance and music. And he showed the PR flag for independence. It was a wonderful show. And didn't it make you want to dance?

We have a sexual rapist, sexual predator, pedophile Billionaire in the White House who abused children for years. He was friends with Epstein, he knew what Epstein was doing. He was involved. There is so much to uncover. He is willing to go to war to protect this info from public scrutiny.

Please, please, media outlets, remember the C word: context. You can’t discuss Trump’s apes post - or his ‘blame a staffer’ excuse - if you’re not also factoring in and reminding your viewers/readers about his birtherism, his ‘send her back’ remarks, him calling Somalis ‘low IQ’.
