Donald Trump on Friday downplayed the toll on American sailors enduring nearly nine months at sea on the USS Abraham Lincoln as concerns escalated about mental health and supply issues aboard the aircraft carrier supporting U.S. operations against Iran.

There’s no way they could have known. It’s not like he had a history going back into the 70s and 60s of being a… oh, yeah. He did.
You know the joke in Back to the Future where Marty tells Doc the President is Reagan, and he says incredulously, “What?

The DNC pretty much handed him 2016, and Biden handed him 2024.
The two parties are both trash, and the citizens just rolling over and taking it up the ass, doesn’t help.
