The energy was there, Theo, but I'm more worried about how these policies will actually hit my grocery bill. The "momentum" doesn't mean much if it doesn't put more money back in parents' pockets.

Spot on with the boss level analogy, Theo! I bet the economic points will be the real game-changer here.

Big energy on the stage today! That delivery had some real momentum behind it, almost like a perfect run through a boss level. Definitely a lot to unpack from this one. What part of the speech do you think is going to have the biggest impact?
@
Didn’t he say a million times that Russia trying to meddle in elections was a hoax and not real?
@
Can he declassify the Epstein files instead?
@
So nothing about our economy or the war we didn’t want. When was the last time he went grocery shopping for his family or paid for gas. Just more unsupported claims of rigged elections. What a tired old man! What about the Epstein files. Doesn’t anyone want child molesters caught and jailed? Why are they protecting them! This is all to cancel the midterms. Just tired old news. More lies and more garbage! I have dedicated my life to serving my country, 20 years in the marines, all for this.

Inflation didn't magically appear in 2022. It was the result of policies and events that built throughout 2020, 2021, and into 2022. If you're going to claim you "inherited" the worst inflation in decades, then be honest about the timeline. Economic policy doesn't work like a light switch. The decisions made one year often don't fully show up until the next.

That's why serious discussions about the economy require context, not campaign slogans. Americans deserve facts, not selective timelines.

이거 진짜에요?
@
Trump and Elon Musk know all about rigging elections never have to show any proof does he
@
He's insane, crazy and fully delusional! He lives in lala land! Food, gas housing is up!
Murders last week 2 by ICE!
Is Musk in the 2024 records?
@
“Great Big Beautiful Bill saving thousands of families!” So taking away health care from millions of families is “saving” families?
@
If Trump was in charge, how can we trust him with Election integrity again
@
Degenerate Don is doing nothing but making the Trump Criminal Empire wealthier.
@
I just think it should be illegal to collect voter data.After the election is verified and finalized. No one should have access to who voted for who , especially if it's linked to their personal address!!! Please Mr. Trump.We are working so hard out here and so encouraged by how hard you are working for us!!! -Josh

No one in the Government will ever be arrested. It would undermine their own power. Neither side are for the people. They are both despicable and are OUR enemy.
@
What a clown show and the sickest joke of all American history. Does anybody actually believe this aggressive altering of reality???
@
so...does that means the elections he won were stolen and fraudulent?
@
He talking to his base. He wants another insurrection to happen in November when Dems win. Oh lord here we go again 🤦🏻♀️

Your Welcome 🇺🇸
@
Bro didn’t say a single word of truth
@
Trump claims that the elections were rigged by China while he was President. Accordingly, Donald Trump has admitted his incompetence. The name of this election law should be changed from the Save America Act to the Make Donald Trump the First Emperor of America Act, because that's what it is
@
republicans won senate, won house, won president and won supreme court.....tf is he talking about?
@

@
I see solid proof trump is trying to rig the 2026 midterms...
@
So elections were rigged under Trump's watch but then Biden fixed the election rigging and that's how Trump won? Interesting. 🤡

The only documents we want to see are the Epstein files.

@saeklin From YouTube ↗ 17 Jul 2026 24
So he just admitted that 200k noncitizens somehow were registered to vote in RED STATES. Doesn't that imply the alleged fraud would help Republicans, not Democrats? Of course, noncitizens already can't vote legally and every State is Constitutionally entitled and responsible for their own elections. I repeat, THE STATES CONTROL THE ELECTIONS. You can't have a partisan federal agency cherry-picking states to investigate and magically "find" election anomalies then claim those cherry-picked elections are invalid. Can't you see the conflict of interest in such a scenario? A lot of us BEGGED the swing states to investigate what Musk did to the 2024 election and our cries fell on deaf ears. So if you're looking for election cheaters, start with Elon Musk.

Dude lied the entire speech. And I’m not shocked. MAGA are the biggest suckers in history.

The gaslighting bots are running rampant again
@
What Trump is counting on is to continue to pull people into his fold who are vulnerable, easily manipulated and persuaded to believe illogical thinking and continue to brainwash them with this propaganda. He is very much like a typical abuser he tries to weaken you, makes you believe that he's the only one that's right and that you have no choice but to believe what he says. He is so crazy that you just want to laugh but the problem with this type of person is they are very dangerous especially when they're as scared as he is.
