Thank you so much for this very helpful summary. Especially valuable to me is the reminder of how responsible Trump was for the awkward withdrawal from Afghanistan. I hadn't realized the role Stephen Miller and his allies played in the betrayal of our Afghan allies -- but I am not one bit surprised.
At the risk of sounding politically incorrect, people who still trust and support Trump have, in my opinion, zero critical thinking skills and are a bunch of scared, angry people who cling to him because he appeals to their fears and prejudices. This is a man who lacks any capacity for empathy or caring for anyone but himself. He's a lot like an infant that can't talk and who has to cry to get fed and changed. Except an infant has a legitimate excuse and he doesn't.
Welcome to Substack!!! I used to follow you on Twitter and greatly missed your posts since I decided to leave that platform (when Musk bought it). So glad you will be writing here. Admire your courage and gumption!
I commend your current actions. My question is why did so many people stay in that horrific administration with such an ignorant, dangerous, criminal as President and only now are coming out against him?
Yes, Olivia, its been one lie after another. And before he was in government, there were other huge lies and manipulations he perpetrated in the public. In fact, many of those lies got him into office. It is truly amazing and well worth remembering. Thanks for the post.

Before the BIG LIE, it was the Big Con Game of Trump's personality...

Thank you for giving us information in a concise, palatable, understandable manner. We cannot rely on our corporate media to inform us.
So proud of you. Thank you for all you do for democracy.
Lady, you’re a true patriot. I have listened to you for some years and I just want to thank-you for standing up for U.S. … We need you!
