Things are looking quite bad for Trump
That headline is rubbish, so I assume the article is as well. Didn’t read it. Didn’t even click it. Certainly don’t suggest that you do either, either.
Look, if I believed in God I’d simply know Trump is the antichrist, but it doesn’t matter. Trump seems to have absolute immunity for every crime, every scandal, every ghastly thing he says. Things have never and will never “look bad” for Trump until he’s dead, and if he dies while he’s President, rest assured JD Vance will be worse.

News always and only from reliable sources, and I decide what’s reliable — no right-wing bullshit, no Substack because fuck Nazis, and no RawStory, Newsweek, or other clickbait sites. Written news is preferred; video links will be rare, and damned near never to videos where a reporter or podcaster simply reads a script or does improv — that’s show biz, not news.
If you’re blocked from reading anything linked above, please let me know, and I’ll reply with the article’s complete text, via my computer’s fine ad-blockers and paywall-vaulters.
