Donald Trump, the 47th president of the United States, spent the night of April 12 and into the early morning hours unleashing a barrage of AI-generated images, threats and insults.
On April 1, Donald Trump startled the world by publicly declaring that he was “absolutely” considering withdrawing the United States from the 77-year-old NATO alliance.
Iran got Donald Trump to agree to a two-week ceasefire in which the Iranians basically give up nothing, and actually secured the right to charge tolls on ships navigating the Strait of Hormuz – and Ben Cline thinks this is “a beautiful thing.”

The fill-up cost for the average Augusta County guy with a big pickup truck, and we’ve got more than our fair share of those, has gone up $37.29 since the start of Donald Trump’s war in Iran five weeks ago.
The SAVE Act that Ben Cline voted for in the U.S. House is all but dead in the U.S. Senate, with two Republican senators signaling that they are no-gos on the bill that Donald Trump envisions throwing elections forevermore to the MAGA side.
We were still paying under $3 a gallon for gas back when Donald Trump launched missiles at Iran on Feb. 28, less than two weeks ago.

Remember Donald Trump, lying through his teeth, making the claim in his State of the Union speech, which was just last week, that gas was below $2.30 a gallon in most states?
The national debt when Donald Trump took office in 2017: $20.2 trillion. The debt would rise during his first term by $8.2 trillion, then during the four-year term of Joe Biden another $7.8 trillion.
Tim Kaine and Mark Warner have introduced legislation requiring full refunds of Donald Trump’s unconstitutional and illegal tariffs.
