Mr Not My Fault

Trump: "This is Biden’s Stock Market, not Trump’s. I didn’t take over until January 20th. Tariffs will soon start kicking in, and companies are starting to move into the USA in record numbers. Our Country will boom, but we have to get rid of the Biden “Overhang.” This will take a while, has NOTHING TO DO WITH TARIFFS, only that he left us with bad numbers, but when the boom begins, it will be like no other. BE PATIENT!!!"
April 30 2025

But back in January it was his Stock Market
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump
THIS IS THE TRUMP STOCK MARKET BECAUSE MY POLLS AGAINST BIDEN ARE SO GOOD THAT INVESTORS ARE PROJECTING THAT I WILL WIN, AND THAT WILL DRIVE THE MARKET UP — EVERYTHING ELSE IS TERRIBLE (WATCH THE MIDDLE EAST!), AND RECORD SETTING INFLATION HAS ALREADY TAKEN ITS TOLL. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

Right. So when Biden was in office and the stock market did well, Trump repeatedly tried to take credit.

Everything bad was the Dems fault in his first term, too. When he held all three branches of government. This is so fking stupid and childish.

A post by Attorney General Pam Bondi which includes a truly unhinged and made-up statistic. It says:

Today is Fentanyl Awareness day. In President Trump's first 100 days we've seized over 22 million fentanyl laced pills, saving over 119 Million lives.

Note that 119 million would be 35% of the US population.

Also interesting to note that, in this hypothetical, 119 million people are deliberately splitting each "fentanyl-laced pill" into five shards so that there are enough deadly fentanyl-laced shards for everyone. Also, there are no medical interventions to save any of these fentanyl-laced shard overdose victims (this assumption might actually be plausible now that RFK Jr. is now the health secretary).

Saved 119 million lives in 100 days. In 300 days (less than a year) 357 million Americans.

In other words, if it wasn't for the efforts of Pammy and Trump, every American would be dead.

Truly the savior of our time. Maybe he should be pope.

Funny. When Biden was in office fentanyl seized at the border was constantly spun as a negative.

You also have to assume that the 22 million number of fentanyl pills isn't a totally made up number. Everything they do is lie, so there is no reason to think that part is even true.

“He was just joking,” is the stock response to dismiss the lunacy. Imagine if Obama “joked” that he wanted to be the pope?

It was a post by Pam Bondi. Trump didn't say they saved 119 million lives.

And she's the Attorney General of the United States. She has a professional obligation to not make false statements of fact or law to anyone.

I meant about being pope. The reporter asked it as a joke and he responded as a joke

To be fair, Trump would fit right in at the Catholic Church. God like complex, molests underage children, protects other abusers. If only he had taken his rites growing up.

According to Democrats, Gretchen Wittmer has turned Vichy. That hug will cost her any chance in 2028

Which democrats, where? Social media? I have seen a few stories on major mainstream media sites (AP) about it potentially being an issue but nothing else. I always appreciate your Trump like unsourced declarations but if you could show your work every now and then that'd be super.

She will now pull up bait/engagement social media users as proof, cause we all know those people are being totally fair and reasonable, and not completely extreme as possible to drive clicks.

Bondi upped the number of people saved during the cabinet meeting, total saved is now 258 million.

What is 'turning Vichy'?

It has something to do with hugging. Extreme political hugging.

Astonishing how can people just listen to this level of derangement and think "he's smarter than everyone else".
