🧨 Trump breaks things on purpose — and dares you to stop him.
He tanks the markets, targets dissent, opens forests to industry, and turns the federal government into a personal vendetta machine — then smirks from the golf course and tells you to “get rich.” While he defunds disaster prep, mass-fires civil servants, and forces law firms to swear loyalty oaths, Obama and Harris are stepping up. So must we.
