Trump Watch: What more to lie about?

This week, Trump excused violent right-wing radicals as having “the right idea” and used conservative activist Charlie Kirk's assassination to smear Democrats instead of calling for unity. His administration waved around empty threats at Big Pharma to prop up RFK Jr.’s conspiracy theories, while pushing “total protection” of prayer in schools, which is just code for forcing Christian nationalism on kids. And of course, he ranted about trans athletes again, proving his politics run on hate and fear.
