The “leader” of the free world continues to say exactly how little he thinks of Americans.
Price of gas? Peanuts, president donald j. felon* said.
Nice perspective, huh? Since he doesn’t pay for any of his getting around. That’s all on our dime, including all his trips to his own golf properties.

Couple that with his recent statement that he doesn’t think one iota about the financial concerns of the non-billionaire-millionaire-multi-thousandaire classes.
It’s refreshing that he is taking time out from lying constantly to occasionally speak the truth.
The real question is whether those who will be most affected by his realities will actually hear what he’s saying.
Probably not. The hardest of the hard core who believe the convicted felon and adjudicated rapist can do no wrong will keep on believing he can do no wrong.
I mean, House Speaker Mike Johnson actually had the nerve to post that “President Trump is the ONLY one who could have gotten Iran … to the negotiating table” when he knows full well that President Obama negotiated a deal with Iran and the president decided to tear up.
To be honest, Johnson is likely afraid to say anything bad about the elderly golfer, so to him lying for the mango Mussolini isn’t really a sin.
Aside the primo ass-kissing by maga House leadership, things are not going well for the grifter-in-chief as far as the Senate setting up his little slush fund for J6ers.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-South Dakota, said he’s “not a big fan” of the so-called legal compensation fund, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, and Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-Louisiana, have respectively called it “utterly stupid,” a “galactic blunder” and a misuse of taxpayer money.
And restoration of funding to the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and border patrol was derailed over a $1 billion proposal for his beloved ballroom in spite of a June 1 deadline set by the president as the Senate shut itself down for the Memorial Day recess.
All the push back, as welcome as it is, could very well not continue. We’ll have to wait and see if GOP spines keep growing or gradually go by the wayside.
It is interesting to note that the spinal growth coincides with the wannabe dictator’s disapproval rating reaching its highest mark — higher than it was after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Could Congress — at least some of them — actually be listening to the public or are they seeing that they should be distancing themselves from the man who’s aced all those cognitive tests?
