Yes, all of it's true, but no-one's perfect.
(📢) The meme to end all memes: the Top 100 reasons not to support Donald Trump... in one image.
I’m a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer, and this is the culmination of what I learned over a decade.
What do you think—any chance we could get this to 50K RETWEETS by Election Day?

The worm has turned.
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. abandoned his campaign and endorsed Republican Donald Trump, ending a presidential bid that he began as a Democrat trading on one of the most famous names in American politics reut.rs/3T2KtAW
It’s easy to freak out over what is happening in the US. But I genuinely don’t believe we are witnessing the End Times. Those are probably about 12 months away.

Americans are bringing back their king. Does this means the British won the Revolutionary War after all?

I'm sure a political commentator will be along soon to tell us how canny Winston is being targeting the dolphin-hating demographic.
New Zealand has recently lost the hosting rights of some major international sporting events including the America’s Cup, the Rugby Championship, Netball World Cup, and the Wellington Sevens. We are now at a huge risk of losing SailGP as well. And it won’t stop there.
The recent issues with SailGP have spot-lighted the overly influential bureaucratic processes, power-drunk government departments, and some decision makers who clearly care more about their fiefdoms than our country’s economic development and international reputation.
These groups do nothing but stymie any sort of future prosperity for our country and ignorantly sabotage our economy and our future on the international stage.
SailGP in 2019 saw an average economic return at the hosting cities of $37 million. In Spain this year they set a record of over $90 million.
In this regard, over the past few years New Zealand has become so inward looking, and our vision clouded by nonsensical ‘moral and cultural roadblocks’, that we have allowed ourselves to travel down this spiralling path.
Our economy and our international reputation are suffering in the face of pearl-clutching extremists and their dizzying sense of self-worth.
New Zealand needs to get back to being a ‘can-do’ country that prioritises common sense and productivity.
Of course there needs to be a ‘balance’ of all considerations including the economy, productivity, international viability, future tourism, environment, iwi and local governments – but ‘balance’ seems to have been thrown out the window.
When we get to a stage where common sense is ignored in favour of ‘opinions and a barrage of red-tape’, something needs to drastically change or New Zealand will simply be left behind.
