Going into the weekend celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence, Trump was facing a lot of bad news,
Iran was blocking ships trying to get through the Strait of
Hormuz, chocking of 2-5 of the world’s oil and one third of the
world’s fertilizer transported by sea, Inflation is spiking in
the US, The administration's corruption is being revealed, with
reports that Trump has made a fortune in his cryptocurrency
business, benefiting from insider information, Nearly a million
people who have lost a total of $3.8 billion while Trump made
$636 million in his cryptocurrency business, Trump diverted funds
from America250 into Freedom250, misleading donors and skirting
accountability rules, The Great American State Fair was poorly
run and poorly attended, Trump flew to Mount Rushmore to rant
about Democrats being communists, thinking this made up story is
a winning theme and he continued the attacks in his talk in DC on
July 4th, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum continued to promote
what appears to be a made-up story about vandalism at the
Reflecting Pool, Reality does appear to be reasserting itself,
nonetheless.
