Trump during the 2024 campaign promised to bring mortgage interest rates down to 2%: “We’re going to bring it down really fast. We will drive down the rates so you will be able to pay 2% and you will be able to finance and refinance your homes at much lower cost.”

Give me a thousand drug cartel workers over one Elon Musk. They will be more honest, expect fewer handouts from the U.S. government—and cause the deaths of far fewer people.

Q: You mentioned you want people like Elon Musk to come here, but he didn't build his companies overnight. So how do you decide who is the next Elon Musk? VANCE: One, does the person fill a position that simply cannot be filled by an American worker? Two, is this person a truly elite human being?

Remember when Trump said there was "very fine ppl on both sides" of a white supremacist rally, & everybody heard it loud & clear, but then he spent years gaslighting about it bc at another point he said "you had some very bad ppl in that group" as if that excused him praising violent racists? I do!

I understand this sentiment, but humor is how people cope with anger, frustration, and the sheer absurdity of what we're witnessing. It doesn't mean we lack compassion or take serious issues lightly. It means that occasionally, laughing is preferable to screaming.
