I find it's faster to replace all Trump quotes with "some dumb shit." For example:
Pandas returned to DC this year and Trump said "*some dumb shit*."
It saves time and brain cells and it's always true.

Trump and Republican politicians promised to lower costs. Instead, electric bills are up 12% this year. Why? Their “Big Beautiful Bill” killed new clean energy projects and policies that kept energy prices down.

Why is a billion dollars being spent to entertain a man who does not even understand what is going on from one day to the next? Just buy some gold spray paint and a random trinket from Goodwill every day and tell him he's won a new prize.

Brown University accepted nearly equal numbers of male and female students, but got almost twice as many female applicants. That math meant it was easier for men to get in.
