Aside from the fact that DJT took info on one builder & treated it as if was for all new housing in US, the story is more complicated. This looks like it may be one source of the doctored graph: wolfstreet.com/2025/12/17/l...

Yes. One could almost feel sorry for him. Reading about it reminded me of A.A. Milne’s “King John’s Christmas” If only Trump were as harmless as King John & would be satisfied with a big red India-rubber ball. www.thereader.org.uk/featured-poe...

Now I think about it, my time becoming the family champ at “I Doubt It” was excellent childhood prep for becoming a lawyer. Key to that game is planning ahead to avoid having to lie at crucial moments.

He said checks for $1776 were in the mail to 1.4M soldiers & no one knew about it “until 30 minutes ago”. Shouldn’t that be front page news? As sign of his mental incapacity. Along with his claim of 600% drops in drug prices.

Think the more apt comparison is to Kristallnacht. Where a shooting became the excuse for persecution of innocents. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristal...

I keep thinking about the parallels to events leading up to Kristallnacht. And how Trump & Miller are already using this shooting as a pretext to oppress more immigrants.

Well, only 2% of immigrants were turned back from Ellis Island, so we know this guy has trouble with fractions. Not a reason to take anything else he says seriously.

That is not correct. Retired members of Congress can buy insurance under the same program as other retired federal employees. They do not get free healthcare, either in office or after they leave office.

Also ask why he doesn’t. And add some might suspect the delay is to give Pam Bondi time to cleanse the files of info that incriminates Trump.
