In Trump world, where freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength.
Stupid war with EastAsia. I can’t believe we’ve always been at war with them.
What are you talking about? That's crimethink! Off to room 101 with you!
tHeY cReAtE jObS!

Trump is pro whatever he thinks you want to hear.
I want him to stop existing. He's free to say, "I'm pro me not existing! I shouldn't exist! Everyone's saying it."
Even without project 2025 Trump has a history of refusing to pay his own employees. He's a fucking weird ass clown.
He's soooo old too. He's just pathetic at this point
There's no such thing as a pro labour conservative
The last pro labor president was FDR
That's okay. Trump disavows any relationship with Project 2025.
He agrees with everything they want to do, but...
Trump sat in front of a room full of black journalists and when replying to allegations of racism, he said he had done more for black people than any other president since Abraham Lincoln.
At this point he is going to claim anything to anyone all the way to his insurrection day
Project 2025 ruined Trump’s ability to say the thing without saying the thing.
If I was a news anchor I'd simply show Trump say something then proclaim the exact opposite, which is almost always true.
For example when Trump says,
I don't know what project 2025 is
We should hear-I know exactly what it is and will push it.
Trump-Ive done more for black folks than any other president
Means- He's literally done nothing to help blacks and doesn't think he should pay for black jobs.
Trump- Fake News
Reality - 100% absolutely true and inconvenient for the shit Trump's trying to grift.
Trump - Make America great
Reality - Destroy democracy son I can stay out of jail.
Trump - Any place any time
Reality - Any place anytime as long as I can choose the place and time and rules and they can't fact check any of my lies.
Trump- I'm not weird
Reality -fucking weird and gross
We need a name for the law that says putting "Trump says" or "trump believes" in the headline is an automatic fail.
He was pro coal mining. That's about the only job I think he was pro.
And yet the demise of the coal industry accelerated in his administration, with no apparent pause despite Trump rolling back the safety regulations that were protecting the coal miners. He's pro coal baron, not pro coal miner
Shocker!
Can we all just agree at this point that we know exactly who this man is? More news stories like that please!!!
