SHOCK: Trump Press Secy UNAWARE of the Constitution!

Karoline Leavitt claimed the U.S. can’t function if Trump is constrained by courts or Congress, rejecting basic checks and balances. She defended a debunked health report with fake sources as just having "formatting issues." This reflects authoritarian thinking and open contempt for the Constitution and signals a push for unchecked presidential power based on fiction, not facts.

Trump admin deports 2-YEAR-OLD AMERICAN CITIZEN

A two-year-old American citizen, Manu Borges Santos, was deported to Brazil by the Trump administration despite being born in Florida and holding a U.S. passport. Her undocumented parents, legal asylum seekers, say they were misled by ICE and never told they had a choice about her fate. Now stranded in Brazil on a tourist visa with no access to schooling or healthcare, Manu is effectively stateless.

Completely disoriented Trump VISIBLY CONFUSED

Donald Trump appeared confused while speaking to reporters, including one where he misunderstood a question about the “TACO trade” (Trump Always Chickens Out) and rambled incoherently. He also struggled with basic topics like student visas, made false claims about bringing back trillions from the Middle East, and lashed out at reporters. His erratic answers raise concerns about his fitness for office.

Ben Shapiro TURNS ON TRUMP, admits Trump is WEAK

Even longtime Trump defender Ben Shapiro is now criticizing Trump’s approach to Ukraine, particularly his refusal to clearly oppose Putin’s aggression. This rare rebuke highlights that even right-wing figures recognize Trump’s foreign policy is projecting weakness, not strength. However, the criticism is strategic—it distances Shapiro just enough to appear principled without truly threatening Trump’s power or MAGA’s grip on the GOP.
