Trump's psychopathic behavior is getting worse as he loses more cases in courts. As his authoritarian designs are being resisted by Europe, by Canada, by Mexico and elsewhere, he is getting more unstable. Let me show you what he posted this morning. He went on a complete tantrum. He posted the following he who saves his country does not violate any law. Says every dictator. I think ever. That's what he's posting this morning. Essentially saying that he will not follow laws and that he will rule as a dictator. I think he realized is how utterly pathetic and weak he has been looking as the world has been both horrified, mortified and just vicariously humiliated by his behavior. Then he post the following this morning at 10:00am Should I audit the IRS into oblivion? Pause there. I'm going to show you what he wrote. But let me tell you what I think you should do. You should have no tax on tips. You should have no tax on Social Security, you should have no tax on overtime. You should lower the prices of groceries. You should lower the prices of eggs. You should make housing more affordable. Those were the things that you promised. Notably absent from your budget and the Republicans proposed budget was anything about tax on tips. No tax on tips, no tax on social, no tax on overtime. But there was an $880 billion cut to Medicaid, a $350 billion cut to the Department of Education, about a $300 billion cut to farmers and agriculture, and a $4.5 trillion cash giveaway to the oligarchs and to the billionaires. I ask any of you go read what the budget says doesn't have any of the no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime. It's all a bunch of bs. But here he says should I audit the IRS into oblivion? I don't know. I mean the fact that they've audited you before because you don't pay your taxes. And it turned out that when people looked at your tax returns and they finally got four or five years, you basically paid like nothing. There were some years where you paid the equivalent of like a $750 filing fee. But this is how he riles up his base, who I doubt have been audited the way Trump has been audited. Here's his post announcing the first ever presidential poll from Donald Trump. But it's not really a poll. When you click through, it says, give him money so he can grift off his supporters. It says, ben, are you sick of being targeted and harassed by the irs? Well, maybe it's time that somebody ordered them for a change. I hear that they'd fail worse than crooked Joe Biden on the debate stage. It would be that bad. Ben, are you sick of them? Before I make any final decisions, I need to hear directly from you. Should I authorize Elon Musk and Doge to audit the irs? Yes or no? Yes. Make America efficient again. Then you click it and it says, basically, give him money. It's not really a poll. You then have this post by him as well. Trump moving towards peace in Ukraine is the most statesmanlike president in history. And then this is some right wing crazy article. And then it has him. And again, he desperately wants to have his face on Mount Rushmore. And this is what the MAGA Republicans are talking about. It says it calls to mind the American and world leaders who defran. Who defended freedom during World War II. You serious? You think that it's probably the opposite. You see, Americans during World War II stood up to the Nazis, stood up to fascism. You know, the names that go back in history as, as being weak in World War II and appeasement are names like Neville Chamberlain. But what J.D. vance did was worse than what Neville Chamberlain did. By far, what J.D. vance did was outright capitulation. What you did was outright capitulation to Putin. You said that Ukraine should not be entitled to its own land pre 2014 borders. You also said that Ukraine should not be a member of the of NATO. So you removed all of the negotiating chips. Then you had your delegation try to get Zelinsky to sign a piece of paper turning over all of their rare earth materials to the United States. And you had your people demand he sign it right there, which he did not do. Zelinsky said Trump has no plan. By the way, Trump, you told Americans as well that Russia was going to be sending a delegation to Munich where all the sides were going to talk. Guess what? Russia did not send a delegation to Munich and all I hear you do is talking about annexing Canada, annexing, taking over Panama, annexing Greenland, threatening your allies. What J.D. vance did was attack and threaten European democracies and democracies abroad. And JD Vance in Munich promoted Russia interfering with elections. I think JD Vance got like three people to applaud for him. It was absolutely pathetic. Donald Trump continues to post this. This is from Miranda Devine. This is like the New York Post. Propaganda is just next level. Trump administration is showing itself as a child friendly administration because Elon Musk brought his kid into the Oval Office who is basically like yelling at Donald Trump in the Oval Office because he, Elon Musk wears his kid as a prop as they go through all of our files, as they go through our tax records, our Social Security information, our medical files. By the way, Trump fired, allegedly accidentally, the workers who oversee our nuclear arsenal and then scrambled to try to hire them back when he goes, oh wait a minute, we fired all the people who oversee our nukes. The level of incompetence is matched by the corruption here.
