Today marks Donald Trump's 100th day in office, and the damage that he's managed to cause in those 100 days is almost unimaginable. On every issue that matters to voters - from immigration to the economy to the environment - Trump is getting failing grades from the public as he and his wrecking ball crew destroy everything. And the administration is only getting started. The damage is going to increase in the weeks and months to come.
Donald Trump announced last week that he would be holding a special, private dinner for the top 220 investors in his meme coin, which immediately caused the coin to surge in value as sales went through the roof. Democrats in the senate are now demanding an ethics investigation into this "pay to play" scheme from the President, and they have good reason to believe that this is 100% illegal.
During a press briefing this week, Karoline Leavitt was asked by Fox's Peter Doocy if Trump would consider - hypothetically - arresting Supreme Court Justices if they engaged in "obstruction." Leavitt confirmed that Trump would do so without hesitation, but then demurred and said that such a decision would be up to Pam Bondi and the DOJ. We are in a lawless era in the United States, where even ruling against Trump could be considered "obstruction" and could result in more judges being locked behind bars.
Donald Trump signed an executive order this week directing the attorney general, Pam Bondi, and Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, to work together to come up with a plan to legally use the US military on US soil against US citizens. We have officially entered a new era of US history, and our own military is going to be used against us in some capacity - Trump was a little vague about the details in his order, but there is no good scenario where American troops could be used on American soil.
