The losses are piling up for Trump, and he's absolutely furious

from Hope For America with Heather Delaney Reese · host Heather Delaney Reese

Just after 5:31 pm this evening, Donald Trump finally broke. After a day of court losses, one after another, he opened his personal social media platform and unleashed a meltdown. He declared himself America's "favorite President," attacked a federal judge, and announced that if he wasn't given complete control, "I have no interest in continuing what could only be a hopeless journey into NEVER NEVER LAND." Three different judges in three different courtrooms looked at the most powerful man in the country and told him no.Based on the events of 5-29-2026The Breakdown:On what would have been John F.
