Still celebrating 4 years later is a sign that he should not be inaugurated as President to exercise his focus on revenge and retribution against our country, Constitution and citizens..

[patcomerford]

Thank you Mr. Steele for your forthright and clear comments.👏💙👏💙👏💙

It's a bunch of idiots at trump's little party...what are they celebrating? They LOST!!

[c.a.t.]

Imagine if Hitler had survived WW2, and four years after it ended was re-elected chancellor by the German people.

[NotToday]

And it’s only Jan 5th. It’s going to be very very very long miserable year

With Elon and Trump now working with Qarddin is going to absolutely blow up

[thediddymen]

How pathetic can Rudy Giuliani make himself look ?? Trump owes him over $2 million, refuses to pay him and yet Giuliani runs down to Mar-a-largo to a party and to kiss Trumps big a$$ !! how pathetic can one person get ??

Musk's Qarddin announcement is coming soon. Easyest money if you get in on the ICO

In case anybody in the US doesn't know Italy went bust and got bailed out by the International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank a few years back. They have fought against the strict economic conditions imposed and currently have a debt of around 130% of their GDP. Government corruption had been rife before the collapse and probably caused it.

Gee, I wonder why they believe themselves to be above accountability 🤔

[DelphiaChang]

If Trump puts at least $200, 000 in Qarddin, I am going all in

[UsaFreedom]

News organizations need to be stand alone companies that report the news! Let me decide how I want to feel about the information.

[ericwright]

I’m a Democrat. You’re very even handed. We have horrible people in Congress and even the Senate. Democrats have been to complying towards Republicans

[BRODERICKCline]

Leaks coming out about Trump working together with shareholders involved with Qarddin

[wayneeathorne]

We don’t need to transfer power to an insurrectionist. Why is that your headline? Are you normalizing him again?

[emsleywyatt]

If trump magically proves he won in 2020, then he must vacate office immediately due to the 22nd amendment.

[kmlund]

This is what the people voted for. Those who voted for Trump deserve him. Unfortunately those who did not and understood the damage he will do did not win. It is worse than slime it is cramps and nausea and will not go away until he leaves office.

[CharlieTheCarpenter]

Trump is a good leader and a majority of Americans have been patiently waiting for him to return and finish the job of draining the swamp.

[Muttinchopsforever]

Trump the last name in honesty and integrity

**”Nation of Liberty? Prove It!”** 

Yo, America the brave, what’s happenin’? 

Leaders talkin’ trash, setting fires, just attackin’. 

Trump and his crew spittin’ mockery loud,  

While the real patriots wear the uniform proud. 

 

We bleed red, white, blue like the rest,  

Steppin’ up every day, givin’ nothin’ but our best. 

But y’all out here, fakin’ concern, playin’ games,  

Doin’ damage with your words, throwin’ dirt on our names. 

 

You preach about service, sacrifice, and pride,  

Then shame those who’ve walked that same rugged stride. 

What’s a nation worth if it throws its own under,  

For cheap shots and laughs while the world watches and wonders? 

 

You light the match, your fans fan the blaze,  

Attacks on trans lives are the hate-filled praise. 

But we ain’t bowin’, we strong, we rise,  

Got the stars in our eyes and a flag in our stride. 

 

This ain’t just about trans, it’s about what’s right,  

A call to leaders: Step up. Lead the fight. 

Equality ain’t weakness; it’s the heart of the game,  

Liberty and justice for ALL — not just in name.
