What's scary about these stories is that it makes me think that Trump has absolutely no one near him who is going to stop any of his craziest impulses.

The President decides to invade Scotland because they protested his golf course? Why not?
- He's one step below Putin at this point. Speak out against him and you get fired, harassed until you quit, or called out publicly to allow his goons to harass you into quitting or something more lethal.
  
  Putin is like Al Capone.
  
  Trump is like the Joker.
- invade Scotland
  
  that's on next week's to-do list.
  
  I just saw the Louisiana is cutting vaccinations now that RFK Jr. is in charge.
  
  This isn't even two full months and I've already seen enough to turn my hair white.
Trump is the most successful Energy Vampire.
It makes sense. Trump hates all living things that aren't Trump so he'd naturally despise plant life and would prefer all paved, and ideally gold plated, scenery.
I bet one of the nutjobs around there thinks secret deep state government shit is buried in there and wants to dig it up
I bet he'll hire 4 Seasons Landscaping for this.
TIL Trump's framed mugshot hangs just outside of the oval office.
