This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Bryon Donalds admits to being convicted of bank fraud. Now, if a candidate for Florida governor has been convicted of bank fraud BEFORE he becomes governor just think about what he might do AFTER he becomes governor. Vote for David Jolly.

.@NBCNews left out the part where this was a plan of The Trump administration and Republicans for hell to drop on Americans RIGHT AFTER THE MID-TERMS.
Most Americans can expect to pay significantly more each month for health insurance next year, whether they get it through work, the Affordable Care Act or Medicare. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

In his own words
NEVER FORGET: Howard Lutnick said that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks & anyone who complained is a fraudster. As someone on SSDI if I didn't get my check I WOULD BE LIVID! It's my ONLY income.🤬

MAGA will believe the Reflecting pool was vandalized with no video proof but deny an insurrection happened when it was on live television. These people are cult fanatics.

Trump falls asleep in the Oval Office on live TV while 6 of his cronies standing right there act like everything’s normal. WTF. Tomorrow when @SpeakerJohnson is asked about it, he’ll say he’s been really busy, hasn’t seen it, and can’t comment. #25thAmendmentNow
Holy shit, this sick old man can't even keep himself upright, seated in the Oval Office. He's practically sideways. How TF is this not a bigger story?

Warehouse in Surprise Arizona valued at 12 million sold to HS for 70 million. Another in Social Circle, Georgia valued at 30 million and sold to HS for 130 million. One in Roxbury New Jersey valued at 54 million and sold for 129 million. Tremont PA worth 60 million and sold for 120 million dollars. Salt Lake City 90 million sold for 145 million. I’d like to see where the money went and how much people in the Trump administration got paid in kickbacks. On just 5 warehouses our government overpaid by 348 million dollars. Kristi Noem should be in prison and we should stop sending taxes to the federal government. They can no longer be trusted with our money.

Seriously guys, whatever happened to: • the DOGE checks • tariff checks • the Greenland hospital boat • 10% APR on credit cards • my meds being 1500% cheaper • $2 gas • the Epstein files • reopening the Strait of Hormuz that was already open • cheaper groceries • ending wars in 24 hours • the “privately funded” ballroom Any updates?

Virtually every gram of highly enriched uranium Iran now has in its possession--enough to make 10 nuclear weapons--was produced after Trump withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2017...without any effort to replace it. Trump tore up the deal, so Iran got back to work.
They will be laughing no longer!

No surprise. After Trump failed to reimburse Florida for Alligator Alcatraz, the state is now moving to shut it down. Nearly a billion dollars of taxpayer money. Inhumane conditions. Environmental travesty. Ron DeSantis built this. Branded it. Gave no bid contracts to his buddies. Threw a party to celebrate it. Now he wants to quietly shut it down and hope no one notices. We notice. And every official who let it happen will answer for it.

DeSantis & the Republican Party celebrated Alligator Alcatraz. They sold merchandise & fundraised off of it. Took selfies in front of it. They stole almost $700M to build it and gave the money to their donors. Lied about being reimbursed. One of the biggest cons in Fl history.
