That press conference was something straight out of an unsold Hollywood script. [View all]

It was preposterous.

Sec. Bessent and Karoline Leavitt playing tag on the "Trump is a genius" bullshit and the chaos the American people, along with the people of the rest of the world, have suffered over the last 5 days was all part of a "Master Plan" that unfolded exactly as designed.

What a load of goddamn bullshit. Trump has been terrorizing the American people since January 20th. He began his reign of terror with an attack on the Federal workforce and threats to the social order. Then he moved on to playing a cruel game with the retirement funds and investments of millions and millions of Americans and upending the entire economy of The United States.

Trump is a serial emotional abuser. He has moved on from emotionally abusing his family and random women to abusing an entire nation and the entire world.

He is a madman. No one should doubt that there will be a new wave of chaos tomorrow.
