DJT is so weird. It is not just that he lies, but that he lies about things easily disproven. He lies when he doesn't need to. Sometimes his lies actually make him look worse, but he'd rather the lie than have the less-flattering truth out there.

Bankruptcy. Unpaid property taxes. Land claimed by the state in lieu of payment, but the farm will need workers - some sort of communal work property system where everyone shares.😏

Amazing career and contributions. Science Hero.
Pictured: Dr. Nancy Grace Roman. NASA’s space telescopes have long explored life-altering questions, and in many ways, those capabilities are thanks to the observatory’s namesake, the “brilliant astronomer” Dr. Nancy Grace Roman, said Dr. Shawn Domagal-Goldman, director of the Astrophysics Division at NASA.

Roman was NASA’s first chief of astronomy in the 1960s and pioneered the idea of space-based astronomy observations, recognizing the power of lofting telescopes above Earth’s obscuring atmosphere. She became known as the “mother of the Hubble Space Telescope.”

“Although she’s often most associated with those first space telescopes, it’s really our full fleet that she deserves credit for,” Domagal-Goldman said. “Every time we build a new space telescope, we add capabilities we didn’t have before and that adds to her legacy. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is no exception.”

Do not believe your own eyes, believe only what we tell you.
Apple 1984 Ad. The commercials' tagline, “Why 1984 Won’t Be Like 1984”, insinuated that Apple was going to save people from Big Brother. Apple was the personal computer of the future, one that everyone could use. Steve Jobs loved the pitch. The ad is still eerily relevant today. President Trump tweeted about removing freedom of speech rights, imprisoning anyone who burns the American flag. In 2026, we are still facing a possible 1984 scenario.

Trump is ordering the U.S. Navy to return to using steam catapults to launch aircraft from carriers. It will cost billions of dollars to revert, takes more sailors to operate and is more difficult to maintain. Trump claims the modern system is “not good”, “You’re going to goddamned steam,”

If you could actually find 34% that were benefitting from the orange despot then this might make sense. There is a tiny percentage that are in on the grift <1%. There is some small portion that the tax breaks and stock mkt help, maybe ~20%? That leaves ~14% who are falling back but won't leave him.

I think/hope that he has misjudged the electorate. Things have been whack-a-mole for long enough that even those who are blindly tribal in their behavior are starting to distrust the entire current establishment and looking for a new chapter without all the chaos. Resist his attempt to sow distrust.
