23 March 2026 @ 4:06 pm
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller passed away this weekend. Since Mueller dared to question Donald Trump’s legitimacy, Trump hated Mueller.

The former Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, in particular, took the President to task for […]

Scott Bessent has all the credentials to be Donald Trump’s US Treasury Secretary. 1: he appears willing to say and do anything to make his boss look good. 2: that’s it.
