He has lost his marbles.
Have you seen the videos of Mitch McConnell back in the Senate? Do you think he should resign because of his health condition?

It was a disappointment to a lot of Republicans. So that's just—well, Sleepy Joe gave pardons to everybody. He gave them to Fauci. He gave them to this. But you mean I'm not allowed to give them, but Sleepy Joe's allowed to give them? This ain't gonna be much of a story. Here we are doing this. You haven't asked me one fucking positive question. All of this. What about this? What about that? What about that? What about this? All negative. Why are you devoting all this time to the White House? You know how I do, I do that out of my back pocket. I pay for a lot of it, but I fix it because the White House should look like that. It shouldn’t look like—if you would have stood in that balcony and looked at that wall, half the wall was falling. It's actually dangerous. People are walking under, crap was falling off it all the time. Every time it rained, it was leaking, horrible. Now it's perfect, and I would say that I should be given credit for fixing the White House because I'm also doing very well with the war. I'm doing very well with another war that we already won, Venezuela. Do you notice you haven't asked me a question about Venezuela?

The weather here in Richmond a stone's throw from the MCG is pretty miserable, bring a rain coat if you are going to the game. #afl #melbourneweather

I get this concern, but honestly it seems like such a targeted piece. What evidence China may do something like crash our cars? Why didn’t they also hack a Tesla or Euro cars? And why are we fine with ethics-free spying from phone and TV controlled by US tech bros who sell our data everywhere?

The bond market has figured out that there's no plan to stop borrowing. This year's deficit is the largest postwar deficit outside a recession or war. Trump can say whatever he wants, but the markets are only looking at the bank statements. youtu.be/P-zk1Jk6ntQ
