How much does the MAGA CLOWN SHOW cost American taxpayers
Chilling preview of what MAGA rule would look like if Trump returns to power
"Having failed to shut down the government, but succeeded in axing Ukraine aid, a handful of Trump acolytes on Capitol Hill set out to cripple the U.S. government by other means. Led by MAGA Rep. Matt Gaetz, whose narcissism trumps Trump, these GOP hard-liners axed their own House speaker — ousting Kevin McCarthy with no sign they can find a successor.
Trump, meanwhile, was denouncing the judge who ruled his companies had engaged in big-time fraud. To top that, the former president effectively accused the departing chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, America's top military officer, General Mark Milley, of treason, and posted on Truth Social that he deserved "DEATH." This outrageous threat from the likely GOP candidate for president forced Milley to take " appropriate measures " to protect himself and his family.
America's allies looked on in shock while its enemies had good reason to cheer." - Times Free Press
