Trump had story hour at his $10M fund raisers in FL last night telling about the Soleimani strike:

Trump said Soleimani was “saying bad things about our country”

“How much of this shit do we have to listen to?” Trump asked in the audio. “How much are we going to listen to?”

Watched Rick Steve’s Fascism in Europe special yesterday and although I already thought trump showed characteristics of dictators I didn’t realize he is actually following the fascist playbook, that he in essence a fascist. The spread of fascism in 20th century Europe was a real thing that almost succeeded and despite that knowledge the uneducated masses are still susceptible to it’s message

How is the WH Counsel on the team to defend Trump? The purpose of the position is to defend THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, not act as coffee boy and concierge, much less personal attorney? Is it even legal?

Disagree with this from my experience, at least as a blanket statement. Education level and even intelligence don't indicate Trump approval or disapproval.

True fact: Hillary won two segments of voters when analyzed by income, the two at $50,000 a year or less.

President Trump won every other segment, starting at $50,001 and on up. Not by heroic margins necessarily, but win them all he did.

Guess which segments “educated” people tend to come from?

73,849 Guns were sold in December in VA, a 47% increase because of rumors that the Democrat controlled state house is coming to take the guns.

Pulling shows that 83% of farmers approve of Trump. That is a all time high for him with those folks, and one needs to wonder about their reasoning as it’s been reported to be not a great year for farmers especially with the tariffs.

Mike Pence And an op Ed where he called for Democratic senators to cross the line with the courage and conviction that Edmund Ross showed. Edmond Ross was the vote assured that Andrew Johnson was not removed from the presidency. evidence shows at Ross was corrupt and that his vote was purchased with cash and quid pro quo positions for his political patrons. Many of those patrons ended up in jail.
