Ladies and Gentleman, Preznit Fuckstick Von Clownface telling you to accept less in your life and like it. #ffs
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

Literally EVERY allegation they levy is a confession. Holy fuck!
Not the most important thing, but how is it that a Pro Publica reporter (frankly, any reporter) can call the President of the United States and he just... picks up the phone?
Trump hung up on a ProPublica reporter after being asked whether his Florida mortgages were similar to those of others he had accused of fraud. 🤔

So basically, they’re trying to shape this so that the strikes now look like the Obama terrorist kill list that took place under an AUMF during the war on terror.
