    People all around the world gathered in the protests. He's on his way to being the most unfavorable American President to ever represent this country, not only in the US, but around the globe.

    My god you are so brain washed it is insane. Even an ounce of objectivity from you would be welcome but you cant do it.

    Elon Musk is your religion.

    I know you are being sarcastic, but are you onboard with an Authoritarian or Dictator led country, or an Oligarchy for our future?

    A large crowd in Charlotte too. MUCH larger than the protests his presidency was drawing at this point during his first go-around.

    I won't be surprised if we see many, many more of these in the weeks and months to come.

    Look Deb. In a 1000 years from now, this version of Democracy will be archaic, much like we view monarchy.

    For now, everything is fine. Americans will remain dominant in the next 80 years. Enjoy the moment. Go drive the new Model Y and stack sats like never before.

    I've ot no problem with them protesting.

    However protesting in cutting waste/fraud/abuse just makes me SMH. Says a lot about the protesters IMHO.

    Millions, THIS is the majority of our country, not 31% that voted for Trump but the 60+% that can't stand him or his unpopular agenda.

    This is probably the wake up call that the country needed - to come close to losing it all, and now to kick him and his racists ****wits out.

    I predict we will start to see many republicans turn against him, in a trickle at first then a gusher, and he will be impeached.

    Isn't it funny how the right are now the WOKE side, can't stand free speech, must fall in line, cancel culture, all the crap they lobbied against they are 100% in favor of......hypocritical idiots.

    You should know enough to know this by now.

    Just know Trmp doesn't care about the protesters. He's going to continue to do what he was elected to do. He doesn't care about the mid terms either.

    Did the USAID slush fund get cutoff?

    I know he's cutting a bunch of needles bureaucrats jobs. Cant name 5 things you've done this week? Fine go find another job and here's 8 months severance, dont let the door hit you on the way out. Selling offgovt buildings workers aren't going to work at anyways. Seems kinda smart to me. What do you think he's doing? It's been less than 3 months, I'm rooting for Trump to burn the whole thing to the ground and this goes for both Dems and some GOP, embrace the change or face the consequences. The Senate and House are a bunch of crooks.

    We saw 10 trillion dollars of market cap get wiped away this week FOR NO REASON. We saw the stock markets worst week in decades because of Donald Trump. Your obsession with Kamala is ridiculous. Democrats aren't destroying the economy. You're allowed to attack Trump for literally destroying the economy

    Yall Americans are more obsessed about culture war garbage than yall are about the economy
