This country elected a madman. People forget that.

Look at this. He's eager to take ANY nonsense, for example here, from nutcase rich-guy Patrick Byrne* that's posted by Alex Jones.

*aka "The Overstock dude"
Trump promotingan Alex Jones post where Patrick Byrne (Overstock dude) claims Michelle Obama did something illegal. Use Biden's (!) Autopen to pardon "Key Individuals"

And his shirt, in case he wanders off and needs to be reminded what his name is when when asked by people trying to help him.

T: I'm lost. I wanna go home.
stranger: What's your name and where do you live?
T: <long pause>
T: <looks down on shirt>
T: P-resident Don-ald Trump
stranger: Good boy.

Can we ask this guy - someone with a Norms fetish* - what he thinks about this development?

* fetish ... or was is really a procedural labyrinth** to hide a deliberate slow-walking of cases (cases!) against Trump. See farewell address.

** "start at the bottom" "follow the money" (obvs dead ends)

It's ugly. The US canton (stars) are hardly recognizable. The colors are not harmonious (Saudi green, US RW&B)

Trump quotes in the article
“I brought costs way down, just about every cost.” “I can’t think of a cost that went up.” “Prices are all down.” “I listen to these horrendous frauds on CNN and various other fake news networks, and they say costs are up.” “No, costs are down.” “The price of groceries are down.” “The real Polls out there have me doing better than ever before.” “They’re fake polls. Joe [Kernen].” “I’ve told Rupert Murdoch, ‘Go get yourself a new pollster, because he stinks’." “More than anything else, it’s a con job by the Democrats. They put out something: ‘Say today, ‘Costs are up.’ They feed it to the anchors of ABC, CBS, and NBC [and the anchors] “do exactly what they say. It’s such a rigged system” “Costs are way down.” “I think polls are fake.” “We have the greatest economy we’ve ever had.” “Prices are coming down very substantially on groceries and things.” “We have a great economy. The prices are coming down.”

Governor, senator, House rep, fmr cabinet official, celebrity (god help us), someone from academia, big tech billionaire bro, social media influencer (ugh), someone from the field of 2020 (my guess, table below), although 8 years is a long time in politics (2020 -> 2028) and things change a lot.

Lots of remarks by politicians and reporters, but what do political pros think happened? I haven't seen anything so far except David Axelrod and Mike Murphy, yesterday on Hacks on Tap. Here is a portion of the transcript:

Did any of the 8 "untouchable" senators consider the likely public reaction?
A: I was stunned by the timing of it. If you look at Trump's numbers, generally on the economy, on a whole bunch of measures, they suffered during this shutdown. The Democrats wisely centered costs, and particularly healthcare costs, and affordability in the middle of the debate, and it was hurting, and then they ... cashed in their chips? M: It's unbelievable. You can debate having the shutdown thing, but once you do it it's a pain tolerance contest, they were about to have it upshift to the Obamacare premiums, they were about to have Thanksgiving travel. Politically, they were starting to run, and they had this great mark-to-market moment with the elections, where Trump's low numbers were not party chat, they were casualties. You had a Republican panic breaking out. They got together, and of course in the Senate where everybody is like a king, and said, "You know what Trump needs right now? A big victory. So how do we give him one? I've got it", and here we are.
