It all might make more sense if he actually were drinking. But Trump, with his "alcoholic's personality," seems even less inhibited in a way that has many in Washington shaking their heads and wondering if the leader of the free world has lost it. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/u...

don’t understand why Jim Jordan is so afraid to let Jack Smith testify in public before his committee. He supposedly WEAPONIZED the federal govt against Donald J. Trump and his allies. Why won’t they bring that scoundrel who abused his power before the American people?!?

FOX: If you cut something by 100%, the cost goes down to 0. If you cut it by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you

LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times

F: Not a 600% cut

L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now
