5. I believe he is mentally unwell and should get what leaders get when they are mentally unwell?

I believe he should not be in public again until it is remedied.

16. Well he has broken all the 7 cardinal sins

Having broken all the seven cardinal sins, in trumps eyes he is qualified to run for pope (keep watching for orange smoke).
Lust gluttony greed sloth wrath envy pride. Batting 7 for 7.

Pluvious: With a dash of Nero tossed in.

Nah trump 'loves' the christians; he even pretends to be one now and then.
I would equate trump with Roman emperor Caligula, the one following Tiberius in charge when jesus lived, and second emperor after Augustus.
Caligula thought of himself as a God, and is rumored to have appointed his horse Incitatus to his roman senate.
Well, trump thinks of himself as a God, agree?
And trump appointed RFK to his own cabinet, and we all know RFK is also a little 'hoarse'.
And RFK sure did 'incited us', does he not?

Ps: incitatus was just a false rumor; sure wish RFK was.
Pps: properly pronounced in Latin then, Caligula is: ka LEE goo la.... not gyoo la.

That’s his job. Nothing more.

Don’t ever think he’s incompetent. He’s good at his job and he’s succeeding all day every day.

...that they're about to rob you, after all. They'll use some weaselly excuse to get their hands on your money so they can hand it to billionaires in the form of tax cuts. That's one of his weaselly excuses. Others are that it's about bringing manufacturing back or it's about fentanyl, or 'unfair trade'.

It's not. It's just robbing American consumers to give more money to billionaires.

12. 90% expect tariffs to raise prices
Sat May 3, 2025, 12:55 PM

... New polls from Gallup and CBS News indicate that a large swath of Americans disapproves of Mr. Trump's tariffs — a cornerstone of his economic agenda. A majority say tariffs will drive up prices and end up costing more money than they generate, according to a new Gallup poll conducted April 2 to April 15 ...
