Hey, the economy is great and gas is cheap. All we had to put up with is mean tweets.
Whenever anyone complains about Trump, remind them he’s not the cause but the product. Seventy million voted for him, and Republicans in congress let him do illegally what they cannot accomplish legislatively. And all the while they’re busy selling the country for parts, whether through tax policy, or neutering the CAFE standards, or handing copyright to Disney.
He's certainly part of the cause, it seems the reason his handlers were able to use him so effectively is because he was going to jail if republicans and Musk et al. (and Putin?) didn't use him to get the election.
Expecting a convicted felon to live with the consequences of their further crimes, when all they need do is end the republic and steal billions, with the help and financial support of tech bros, ... well.
There's a very simple first patch to a new republic, no convicts in elected offices.
