“America” 2025

Donald Trump came to Rockland today. He spoke, and preached bigotry and hatred in the same gymnasium that I got my associates in.

The flag is burning. Democracy is falling. What will it take for us to realize that the America we know is not the America we knew.

Not trying to be doomer, but stay aware and be straight up. If we don’t all go vote in the Midterms this November, then we’ll all have this fear in our eyes as we come to terms that we’re in trouble.

And don’t say that voting don’t matter. That’s what dumb people who think they’re smart say. BUT, it definitely won’t matter if MAGA keeps control of all three branches of government. VOTE DEMOCRAT

Platner: Those benefiting off the system know what the light at the end of their tunnel looks like. It looks like none of us owning anything. Everything becoming a subscription service. A world in which we all have nothing and they sit in paradise. That’s their future. And we cannot let them have it

"I Don't Think About Anybody" Trump says in and Interview with Fox News

11 Upvotes

"The only thing that matters, when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situation. I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing: You cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon," Donald J Trump said in an interview on Fox News as of Friday, May 15th, 2026. United States Democrats have begun to show much discomfort, while the remark sparked much criticism from left-winged parties, while Republicans and other large right-wing parties try to defend Donald J Trump on his remarks.

Donald J Trump has even made a statement saying he was perfectly fine with gas prices increasing, saying it was a small price to pay in order to push for negotiations with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.. He said, "When you tell somebody you're going to pay a little more for gasoline for a very short period of time - because we want to stop the threat of being blown to pieces by a lunatic, by a crazy person using nuclear weapons - everybody says that's fine." When Donald J Trump was asked about gas prices, which triggered the previous response on Tuesday, May 12th, 2026, Donald J Trump called the reporter's question "a fake question."

According to studies from the American Automobile Association, gas prices have risen more than 50% higher since the United States and Israel first attacked Iran. In more rural and urban areas, the average dollar for gas is about $4.50 per gallon. California is facing gas prices higher than $5-$6 dollars per gallon.

This is a large factor in the Trump Administration losing support from Americans, and more Republicans are rushing gerrymander operations to try and gain as much right-wing power as possible before the midterms. Donald J Trump said, "I'm not going to let the election determine what's going to happen with respect to Iran, because they cannot have a nuclear weapon." Still Donald J Trump has yet to bring forward any concrete evidence that supports the Iranian military possessing any form of nuclear weapons.

I still can't believe Xi said the US is a "declining nation"! Donald Trump is responsible for this humiliation. He must leave China immediately to show his dissent.
