Trump is freaking out because accountability is coming

With gas at $5, inflation, food shortages and possibly mass starvation. It will be very clear who is to blame and he doesn’t want to be blamed for anything. Can’t have any scratches in that veneer of perfection.

It’s galling how many times he’s managed to slither away from accountability. THAT has got to stop!

These are the same cabinet members who could remove him using the 25th amendment. He'll get rid of them first.

And frankly, nobody is going to hold him to that accountability. He'll just lie about how blue the sky is and how in "2 weeks" all the oil and money and glory will be flowing back to 'Merica. The idiots will believe it, Fox will shout it through the megaphone, and we'll still be here bitching about it. Not sure where this idea of "mass starvation" is coming from.

Oh bUt the dEMs WilL cLeaN up In tHe mIdTermS!1 lol Then what? Another slow walk of election interference? Another "not wanting to look political" about the Epstein files? A "soooo close" for impeachment?

It'll be time to heal, move forward, write more stern letters. Nobody will actually DO anything about Trump. Ever. Even worse, they won't fix what's wrong before the next Trump-esque trainwreck comes along. The stupid fucking masses need some clown devoid of reality to revere.

And apparently a lot of fertilizer is stuck on ships. I heard a guest on TV talking about this the other day. It will create crop failure.

the Oligarchs.

There's no way they won't lose enough wealth to be wanting revenge. The Oligarchs own majority shares of major corporations. They won't have time to cash in their chips.

And put aside antisemitism. They're going after Bibi as well.

and that the cost of gas will come down. I could only reply that people elected a businessman and that as a businessman it only makes sense to sell us gas at the same price that the rest of the world pays. Why would a businessman sell us gas for $4 a gallon when they can get 6 and 8 dollars somewhere else?
That point hit deep, I saw her reaction. She commented that there are some things she could kick him for.
Is she still a Maga? probably.
Will she vote straight R next time? probably, but hopefully she will be less motivated to go vote.

We can never reason with them and we can never change how they think, but we can plant seeds of doubt every chance we get.
