Nearly 2/3 of Americans Disapprove of Trump Ballroom Plan, and the sheer magnitude of that disapproval is, frankly, something to take note of. It’s hard to ignore that level of sentiment. One can’t help but wonder what the other third is thinking – or, perhaps, if they’re even thinking about it at all. It does raise questions, doesn’t it?
The situation is made even more interesting by the fact that the project itself – a ballroom, no less – seems to be completely out of touch with the current needs of the American people. Healthcare, jobs, and affordable housing are pressing concerns, but a fancy ballroom?… Continue reading

President Trump is scheduled to visit Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday for a “routine yearly checkup,” just six months after his last annual physical, raising questions about the necessity of the visit. Concerns surrounding Trump’s health have been growing recently, particularly given his age and a lack of transparency about his medical information, despite polling indicating a significant portion of the public doubts his fitness for office.
