The media take the line that Trump is lying like all politicians and he does it so often we just ignore it. Trump is not really lying anymore. He is just deluded. Completely deluded. Not a great thing in a POTUS.

This isn’t fair but the difference is Biden is the kind of senile where he asks where his glasses are and u say on his head and he looks sheepish & apologizes and says oh yea, Trump is the kind of senile where that happens & he yells at your he’s never worn glasses. In fact glasses don’t exist. &…

I also really think Dems need to air ads pointing out that Trump never sent anyone a Doge check or a tariff check. Because everyone wants five grand. It’s insulting and illegal but I bet you it works on a lot of people. Remind them that his promises are worthless.

It's a lot easier to make the case that Trump's personal corruption matters when people are struggling to pay bills while Trump accrues billions. And his egotism just adds to the disconnect. People fret about gas prices and he frets about getting his name on the Kennedy Center.

I was thinking initially of Blanche as the Speer* equivalent but he would happily destroy anything or anyone Trump told him to. Marco is trashing America's global credibility for him, Hegseth the military. Would any of Trump's clowns draw a line? Any of them? *Speer was complicit before he wasn't.

This reminds me of two scenes in the German movie “Downfall,” which depicts, historically accurately, Hitler’s last days. Both scenes involve Hitler and Albert Speer discussing Hitler’s “Nero Order,” by which the Führer had ordered the destruction of the Reich’s remaining economic infrastructure...

Economist analysis of more than 3,000 US counties finds that in reliably GOP counties, annual deaths now exceed births by 0.4 per 1k residents, while in reliably Democratic counties, births exceed deaths by 2.8 per 1k. Population growth in the GOP counties is largely driven by internal migration.
