He was barely 2 years old when his birth mother was tragically killed, and a child of that age likely has no memories from that period.

23. He had a pretty overwhelming trauma as a very young child.
That's got to make the world feel VERY unsafe.

The American mainstream media is hiding the truth from us to protect Trump.
Example: An American president repeatedly threatens to invade Greenland, turning our allies against us. Now we learn that a Trump-linked oil company is illegally preparing to drill there.
If this was any other president, it would be the biggest scandal of the decade, but does Jake Tapper want to talk about it?
Try this exercise: Google search Trump Greenland Oil. News.

No US sources. Total news blackout.

The issue in court on Friday was supposed to have been over the obviously loaded and biased words used to describe the impact of an anti-income tax ballot measure on the Washington state November ballot. People supporting the ballot measure demanded state law be upheld to use neutral terms to describe what the measure actually does. Oh, but that's not what they got in court. Not by a long shot.
What court watchers, especially those watching on state CCTV got instead, was a nakedly partisan activist in a black robe who apparently was under the illusion he was auditioning for the Real Housewives of Thurston County, engaging in an unhinged histrionic display instead of delivering something remotely close to justice.
The gesticulating arms. Dirty looks. Savage teeth-showing disdain. Judge Chris Lanese's unmitigated looks of smugness in court were on display for all to see. Bar complaints will inevitably follow, and deservedly so. Judicial temperament? What temperament? Lanese never made an attempt to use neutrality of any kind in that courtroom.

A supermajority of leftists passed the unquestionably unconstitutional graduated income tax — which the state's constitution forbids. Backers lied and called it a "millionaire's tax," with no language limiting who would be subjected to it.

Democrats have been spending with all the restraint of raccoons who discovered the dumpster behind Golden Corral.
They masked information about social services fraud, in hopes of hiding losses from the public.
The Democrats kept paying for freebies for illegal aliens.
And they turned down free federal money for schools because...Trump.

The judge shouted down the attorney who was arguing that the AG's language wasn't remotely true and that the legislature makes spending decisions, not the AG.
James Talarico, the heretical, creepy nutjob who is the Democrat in the Texas Senate race, has yet another scandal overshadowing his thoroughly scandalous campaign.
A new investigation indicates that Talarico might have broken election law by voting while using an address where he did not live in five different elections. Ironically, Talarico had made a similar accusation against Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, but perhaps Talarico was engaging in a little projection?
This news comes after Talarico admitted to an inappropriate relationship with a staffer. The candidate also headlined a 2021 Pride Month festival where a boy who was only 11 years old performed as a drag queen. ...
The media is trying to portray 75-year-old John Gannon as a victim of President Trump's oh-so-callous efforts to return illegal aliens to their homelands. A Texan and a self-described "lifelong Republican" who voted for Trump, Gannon ran to the media to lament that his much younger Venezuelan "fiancée" was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents last month as she tried to board a plane in Houston.
And after Gannon's story went viral, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) weighed in with a brutal fact check.
Let's lay down some facts before we dive into the story.
...
His "fiancée," 45-year-old Yasmin Suarez Reyes, is a Venezuelan with Spanish citizenship who entered the U.S. legally in October 2023 on a 90-day visa. She applied for asylum in early 2024 (the case is still pending), and stayed here illegally after her visa expired.
And anyone here illegally has committed a federal crime and is, therefore, subject to being treated like a criminal.
Suarez Reyes, occupation unknown, and Gannon were headed to a trade show in Las Vegas when she was taken into custody by ICE at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Which is both funny and appropriate because of all that "lifelong Republican" stuff.
...QuoteREMINDER: A pending immigration application does NOT confer legal status.
ICE arrested Yasmin Suarez Reyes, an illegal alien from Venezuela, after she overstayed her lawful admission to the U.S. by OVER 2 YEARS.
