Has Trump made us great again yet?

So, Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, amongst others, tippy tapped on their phones using the Signal app (quite illegal for the communications) and discussed the planned bombing of Houthi rebels in Yemen in two hours. Two hours later, the bombs flew, and a reporter, who was “somehow" included on the "group chat," was now aware he wasn’t being hoaxed, and let the American people know (I’m subscribing to the Atlantic in support).

Rubio and Hegseth had previously raged against Hilary Clinton for her use of a personal server. And of course, Trump wanted her jailed. (Hey Trump, Hilary didn’t disclose a war event to the public).

In October, I drove past a Sandpoint flag waving in the wind, depicting Biden as a clown, and the quip, “Elect a clown, expect a circus."

A circus is an organized event of professional artists and has a ringleader. The current administration is no circus. It’s a swamp, with the ringleader — the flat-footed-draft dodger-orange-spray-painter — out putting on a golf course (on my dime). Are we great yet?
