30 in the last couple of hours that I counted, and he's still going. He just posted a photo of himself as Elvis with the white jumpsuit open to the navel. Do not go to Truth Social.
He's now on one of his insane posting sprees - several about how young he looks, a doctored photo of Springsteen to make him look old (such dignified presidential behavior), posts about his dumb monuments, several posts showing him as George Washington or with an alien, and a threat to Greenland.
The president took on a vanity project, gave no-bid contracts to contractors who screwed it up, made up a story about vandals to cover it up, and then fomented a felony prosecution against an innocent scapegoat. You could impeach for anything he's done but "This asshole is out of control" is a layup
Roy EdrosoWhen you slow down and think about it you realize it's ten times worse than it seems. Sure it's farcical, but it's also a brutal legal attack on a man they knew to be innocent, done to distract from their own thievery and incompetence and as a flex to terrify anyone who might make them look bad.

Look, a lot of people are clowning on Adam O'Neal for taking a job for which he wasn't qualified in service of helping a billionaire curry favor with an autocrat, using his position to build an unpopular and facile video series and then bailing on the role in barely over a year.
In a Democratic administration, it would be treated as a scandal that a staffer used the government's top epidemiologist as her personal physician in a time of national crisis. But in this administration it gets the extra infuriating angle of then stabbing him in the back for political expediency.
