Trump denies grocery prices are up and then says people will be fine because "their 401ks are up." (Nearly half of Americans have no retirement savings)
“Let them eat 401-Cake.”
He wishes.
Asked “if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

This is my first (and likely only) thread combining data and literary analysis of a 17th Century satire. When Trump rages against windmills, it’s deeply weird but even more so that it parallels Don Quixote. I've been tracking data on his windmill statements. Lately, he's really been tilting. 🧵

The utter perversion of the #BrokenTimes' both-sidesing compulsion: Here it equates the right-wing ruin of New College with (checks notes) liberal (in any sense of the word) education, which it dismisses as just another "ideological bubble." Just fuck off.

How long before Trump claims the scrutiny and negative media coverage he’s endured make him a “victim” of Jeffrey Epstein as much as the girls they trafficked? His twisted reasoning and toddler’s impulse control make that declaration inevitable IMHO.

TFG for a writer sidestepping big-picture media’s usual affirmative framing: “Trump asserts X. Here’s a long tepid wonky rebuttal centering/amplifying X & leaving casual readers at either X +/- 1 or ZZZ…”
