Trump announces "maybe I'll seize the capital of the US if voters displease me" and it'll be nothing more than a blip on the news at best
Tells the press he picked it at random off a wall, tells a republican girlfriend he got it because it's a totenkopf, and tells a leftist girlfriend his commander picked it out for him
Tells the press he doesn't know what it is, the republican he thinks it's fun, the leftist it's a badge of shame
The President just said we're on the cusp of a deal with Iran.

Yet another Platner ex - this time a leftist who he didn’t tell he was already engaged - describes him having known that his Nazi tattoo was a Totenkopf long before running for office, corroborated by her own private texts to her mother about the tattoo before it became public knowledge.
For the 50th time this year, we're on the cusp of peace. Apparently.
Maine Senate Dem nominee Graham Platner says he kept his Nazi tattoo to remind himself “the US was the evil bad guy” while he was deployed overseas, according to a woman who says she dated him whil…

Q: Here in Washington DC, there's a Democratic primary for mayor. One of the two leading candidates is running a Zohran Mamdani campaign focusing on socialist policies. How would you feel if she wins?

These allegations are from 2021, when Platner was but a callow 36 year old. You can't hold this stuff against a mere child. nypost.com/2026/06/11/u...

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, says Trump threw him under the bus.
“If he would do that to me, he would do that to anybody,” Cornyn says. “There’s never going to be good enough for him, other than 100 percent, you know, slavish adherence to whatever he wants.“

Susan Collins cast the deciding vote for Brett Kavanaugh after promising he’d protect Roe v. Wade.
