Trump Watch: Chaos, threats, and authoritarian vibes

This week, TACO Trump amped up his incompetence. He toyed publicly with the possibility of joining Israel's war with Iran while, feuding with his own intelligence chief. He deployed 2,000 more troops to terrorize Los Angeles. Meanwhile, his administration cut off a suicide hotline that served LGBTQ+ youth—a direct assault on the well-being of one of the most vulnerable communities.

“And now we're going to put up a beautiful flagpole, and we're going to put up a flag, and I hope you enjoy it. And let's see how real people work. These are real people. You're not real people. Your job is too easy. Okay. Thank you very much.”
