It’s important to remember that Laura Ingraham went to Dartmouth. She’s not as stupid as she sounds. She’s just a shameless liar.

Yes, he’s out of touch, but he’s also super dumb. He couldn’t understand it if he tried.
something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

He couldn’t put that little medal on himself fast enough. Then he made a speech like it was a real prize. His family just lets him humiliate himself. It was an embarrassing watch.
The FIFA Peace Prize ceremony at the World Cup Draw, with its blatant political pandering, was one of the more embarrassing episodes even in the history of an organization famously rife with fraud and corruption, @louisathomas.bsky.social writes.
The Weird Spectacle of the World Cup Draw
At the event, the matchups seemed beside the point, eclipsed by FIFA’s bizarre Peace Prize ceremony for Donald Trump and other cringey moments.

He can't remember things he said or did a few days ago, which seems like a problem for a world leader.
Q: “You said you would have no problem with releasing the full video of that strike on September 2nd.”
Trump: “I didn’t say that. You said that. I didn’t say that. This is ABC fake news.”
Trump on Dec. 3: “Whatever they have, we’d certainly release. No problem.”

Anyone with a loved one who's had advanced cognitive issues is very familiar with this kind of irrational anger greeting gentle pushback or a reminder that they'd already said something they just said again.

I'm actually going to have to step away for a bit because I'm still too mad about the lactation/formula thing. Keeping infant twins fed was hard enough without the formula guilt and pumping roadblocks. I'm still not over it.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

And, like I always say: crybabies who whine about "virtue signaling" are always, always, always, devoid of any virtue whatsoever.
The right likes to mock the left for "virtue-signaling."
Well, this is "vice-signaling." And, unlike virtue-signaling, it is both wicked and dangerous.
