the president is that you will be poorer and you will like it
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."

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over.

The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover.

Once upon a time, Barack Obama's $400,000 speaking fee and Hillary Clinton's $8 million book deal raised eyebrows.
Now, President Trump has already made $3.4 billion *during* his presidencies. That's a stratospherically different level of profiting.

Opinion | The brazenness of Trump’s profiteering is a billion-dollar scandal
After leaving office in 2001, Bill Clinton signed a “record book deal” for $10 million. The amount of money Trump has made has no historical equivalent.

1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.
