(TriceEdneyWire.com) – Trump has abdicated his role as president. He’s so focused on bombing in various nations while allowing Russia to continue bombing Ukraine. Now we must add Venezuela to his war list. Add Nigeria and Iran. At the same time, he continues to beg for a Nobel Peace Prize because President Barack Obama received one! He claims he has settled nine wars, some since he and Hegseth re-named the Department of Defense to the Department of War – which seems to be more appropriate for what he is starting.
It’s no secret that with all the attacks, Trump is attacking the USA day by day by renaming the Kennedy Center and the Peace Institute for himself, by taking food from babies and threatening many American institutions. He has no interest in accountability, affordability, resolving the Epstein case or coming up with a healthcare plan. The last time he mentioned it, he still has only a concept!
He has Speaker Mike Johnson so afraid to call a House session together because even his party’s members rebel against things Trump told them to do. Their dear leader is not very popular and only 37% of the people are buying what’s going on.
Meanwhile, Trump is threatening to convict or assassinate all Democrats! He has named a few but means all of us! New York’s Attorney General Letitia James stood up to him, and I guess he didn’t know much about smart, brave Black women – that’s most of us. He has totally underestimated Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, Congresswoman LaMonica McIver and others.
He’s even underestimated Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene who recently saw the light and left Trump’s MAGA movement because she learned it was not about Make America First. I think Crockett woke her up with that “bleach blond, bad built, butch body.” Greene is looking good these days! Don’t be surprised to see her go down to Texas to help Crockett win her Senate race! What a blessing it is to see a handful of Republican women challenging their party on the value of women.
As soon as Congress passes some rules for Trump’s Supreme Court, he’s going to be in big trouble. He’ll have to be taught that America has no real kings since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.
He’s made threats against Congressman Jason Crow who said, “I served this country as an Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan. I took an oath to defend the Constitution, and I still live by that oath today in Congress. Now Trump, is calling for me and other veterans to be imprisoned and murdered!”
He’s done the same to Sen. Mark Kelly who still serves our country with distinction. Trump nor his sons saw fit to serve. Like father, like sons. His daughter is married to a man who was handed $2 billion by the Saudis – for what? It certainly wasn’t for the benefit of hard-working Americans. He has assigned his son-in-law to handle the Ukraine-Russia problem. Guess he’s given up on Putin.
In addition to taking over The Kennedy Center – a tribute honoring our beloved dead president – he wants to name unbuilt warships after himself. He tried to get on Mt. Rushmore, tore down a part of the White House, so he could name a part of it for himself. He was so jealous of Obama that he put silly messages on his official White House photo!
Check out National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, which could allow government agencies to penalize people based on their beliefs. Peaceful advocacy groups could be investigated for challenging government policy. A church could face scrutiny for simply expressing its faith.
Critics of those in power could be targeted without a connection to violence. Voter suppression is how Republicans plan to steal the election in 2026. You can’t miss voting – no matter how you have to vote!
