1. TSF is bent over walking, standing or sitting. I'm surprised to see Stephen Miller and Steven Cheung there

2. Yikes! So am I, we heard that Stephen Miller was being sidelined. And he was criticized for bringing his family!

Let alone all the CEOs he could persuade to join him...

3. A traveling circus on our dime. I hope XI does not give him any special treatment and not put up with this show

4. We've heard that XI is meticulous, has everything planned down to the letter while TSF flies by the seat of his pants

Also that the felon put off this trip, hoping to have Iran wrapped up and done. Another reason why he'll be ready to kiss XI's ring...

Not Putin..I abhor him and wish his demise soon, too. I’m just not wanting TSF to destroy other sovereign countries like Greenland, for example. With all the funds we taxpayers have contributed, our nation could have health care, better education, infrastructure, children’s services..we could help with the grid problems in our territory, Puerto Rico, our Native American communities and others. Our medial and scientific experts have been fired snd I could go on but he has destroyed our society and and robbed us of what we could be. I don’t wish him well. At all

6. Oh, goodness! Same here! I can't believe he continues to get away with his criminal activities

And what history will make of this in decades to come. And of course I'm hoping that we squash the Republicans in the midterms, but the criminal-in-chief will still be around, doing whatever feels like and embarrassing us in front of the entire world - do we have even one long-time ally left??

And there's one other issue, obvious to me, that with all his redecorating and destruction - let alone whatever his secret activities are - I really don't think he has any plans to vacate The People's House, he's completely taken possession. And I can't help remembering that when he lost to President Biden, he sent the White House butler home and locked the doors so there was no one to let the Bidens in. And we know that he's gotten a whole lot worse since then...

7. Yep..used to ask will we ever recover from his theft but now I don't think so because there's just no bottom

To his cruelty and narcissistic nature. He acts like everything in this country is his for the taking and I agree, he has no intention of leaving the White House as is evident with his gerrymandering demands and threatening soldiers at every voting station to ensure he wins. The south is completely gerrymandered and that’s the electoral college territory..the maps are disheartening for Democrats. We have so much work to do to do to just get rid of this administration and then the clean up of his rotten stench. Agggg! I’m gonna look for some animal videos so I can get my bp calmed down 😡
