    But what americans are “suffering” because Trump is president?!

    Lots of fellow citizens struggle regardless of who’s president. To blame it on one president is underplaying all of that.

    I’d rather focus on solutions that help all Americans than watch anyone “get what they deserve.”

    Then stop being a dick to people who happen to have different political ideas than you do.

      But you shove your head so far up your ass I doubt you care about any of this. Go ahead, call it “not suffering” like our country isn’t sliding into a fascist coup. Is he hurting the right people in your book? Are we getting what we deserve in exchange for his appeasement? Bootlicker.

        You call that “suffering” though? That’s fucking life, bruh.

        What about all the people that were “suffering” when Biden was president? lol

          Whataboutism.

          None of it was necessary. Its cruelty for the sake of cruelty. None of this administrations’ declared priorities line up with their actions. DOGE is ending successful efficiency teams and projects telling us they’re saving billions when instead they’re aligning us with our enemies, the dictators of the world that our leader so desperately idolizes. Never has America removed the rights from an existing protected class until this administration. We’re removing fluoride from the water, canceling important flu vaccine meetings, and blatantly shitting on the first amendment by blackmailing colleges with protests.

          But it doesn’t impact you so everything is fine. “I got mine” right?

            I don’t see anyone “suffering” any more from Trump than they did under Biden. You just don’t like Trump. lol

              “I want Americans to ‘get what they deserve’ because I think they have an attitude” is some serious next level snowflake shit

                    You are the one crying about it. I’m fine with Trump being in office. You sound like the snowflake.
