At the time of his booking NYPD has confirmed that Trump's
height was 5'10" and his weight is 287 lbs. They know this because when he was arrested, booked, weighed, photographed and fingerprinted for his 34 felonies that was the numbers. This is very
different from his scripted 6'3" 220 pounds.
Looking at him I pretty sure that he hasn’t lost 67 pounds and grown 5 inches taller. I could be wrong. But I’m pretty sure I’m not. #Trump #lies #America #president #USA

President says many things today ….companies importing foreign goods and the U.S. consumers buying the products — were bringing in $2 billion a day.
The federal agency that collects the tariffs says the country has collected $500 million on the levies since April 5. For those of you that are counting that’s 13 days.
Also for those of you with eyes, the price of gas in a few states is $1.98. It must be the state of confusion. Also, eggs are down 92%. What country is he talking about?

US intelligence contradicts DT's claims linking gang to Venezuelan government to speed deportations

"A new US intelligence assessment found no coordination between Tren de Aragua and the Venezuelan government, contradicting statements that DT's officials have made to justify their invocation of the Alien Enemies Act and deporting Venezuelan migrants, according to U.S. officials."

"In a stark recasting of Orwell’s original insight, in 2024 it was not Trump and his MAGA allies who cloaked their intentions in euphemism and ambiguity. Instead, it was mainstream media, pollsters, and political consultants who retreated into vagueness—minimizing or outright ignoring Trump's explicit threats in an effort to avoid accusations of bias, partisanship, or alarmism."

"There is the idea of othering and ... you can see the way the administration began these flights with individuals that they believed they had constructed this image of them as these terrible human beings. Again, although 90% of them do not have criminal records, but they could do it. They had brown skin."

"They’re painted not as people, but as animals. As monsters. As rapists. As the scourge of American society. The messaging isn’t accidental. It is the exact kind of dehumanization that makes cruelty palatable, even desirable. ...

This is the playbook. This has always been the playbook. Turn the masses against the vulnerable. Make cruelty the point. Then repeat the lie until the truth chokes on its own breath."

"Reminiscent of Hitler’s grotesque propaganda, where Jews were cast as vermin, stripped of their humanity so that no one would care when they were disappeared, the Trump apparatus is manufacturing the same cruelty, recast for modern America. The new 'vermin' are the immigrants. The undocumented. The vulnerable. The desperate."
