Robert Hubbell - Trump slept through significant portions of the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, including when Secretary of State Marco Rubio was speaking directly to Trump from three feet away. For Trump, the naps represented his peak performance at the meeting. It was downhill from there. Among many lies, slurs, and gaffes, Trump said the following:
The “affordability crisis” is a “scam” created by Democrats, and “no one knows what the word means.”
Somali immigrants are “garbage,” and “I don’t want them in our country, I’ll be honest with you…their country is no good for a reason . . . and [our country] could go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country.”
Prescription drug prices have dropped 500–900% [Note: this is a mathematical impossibility];
“Every boat that you see get blown up, we save 25,000, on average, lives;” [Another mathematical impossibility; the US has destroyed 21 boats, which would imply 525,000 lives “saved” in 3 months per Trump’s math, but the US experienced 87,000 fentanyl deaths last year], and
“I didn’t know about the second strike [on the alleged drug boat] . . . . I wasn’t involved in it. . . . because I rely on Pete.”
MS NOW - Much has been made of the fact that after President Donald Trump posted a social media screed about immigrants in which he called Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “seriously retarded.” A Republican state senator in Indiana, Mike Bohacek, said he was offended by the president’s slur and that he would oppose redistricting efforts.,,, Few other Republicans have spoken up against Trump invoking the word long used as a pejorative for people with disabilities.
Axios - President Trump made nearly one post per minute over a three-hour Truth Social spree late yesterday....Trump made 158 posts and reposts from 9 p.m. ET to midnight, by Axios' count. Go deeper.
