55. While there may be perfectly logical rational explanations for everything that we've witnessed with Trump

Thu Nov 27, 2025, 09:56 PM

Thursday

I still think it's fair to say that there are a lot of just really weird things that happen around Trump and his people and his constant lack of transparency and politicization (and likely distraction attempts) of things simply exacerbates these things. Simply trying to brush them all off doesn't help anybody IMHO. We're not part of a cult. We don't (and shouldn't) just willy nilly accept things as they are presented to us by Trump and his people and/or even the media. That does NOT make us akin to Qanon conspiracy theorist junkies.
