I think it's cool to allow for the possibility that what you just asked me might turn out to be a deep question about the nature of reality.

Trump promised he would lower costs on Day 1, but the cost of groceries has only gotten more expensive for Americans since he’s been in office. https://t.co/BYCy10Sxdf
Trump: "The cost of cheese, butter, potatoes, and fruit -- many many other products -- is lower today than when I took office. Eggs are down 60%. Beef is starting to come down. They wanted to have less cattle in the country for environmental reasons. These are sick people. It has

Before the war: 1) Iran didn't control the Strait Of Hormuz, now it does 2) Iran oil was sanctioned, now it's not 3) Iran was not building a nuke, now it will 4) US bases in the Gulf were assets, now liabilities 5) Inflation was declining, now increasing Definitely winning!

He is Iran’s best weapon. The inscrutable, shape-shifting, morale-destroying, messaging-allergic, babble box of a brain at civil war inside itself, who reverse Meidas-touches everything to rust.
Trump: I would only say that we're doing extremely well in that negotiation. But you never know with Iran because we negotiate with them and then we always have to blow them up.

He signed $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts on July 4th. Nebraska starts enforcing work requirements May 1. CBO: 10 million lose coverage by 2034. Indiana’s HIP 2.0 expanded Medicaid match ended January 1. “Direct payments to THE PEOPLE” is not in that legislation. The bill and the

Imagine bragging about negotiating $5 Sharpies… only for the company to come out and say it never happened.😮 He’s an elite deal maker… when the deals exist only in his head.🙃 https://t.co/iy05R3dcpI

Trump told a lengthy story about negotiating over the price of Sharpie pens. The company says it has no record of any such conversation.

Read it again slowly. Loved exactly as he is now. Not as he will be. Not as he could be if he worked harder or learned the right language or carried the right documents or walked through the right door. As he is now. That sentence is doing a lot of civic work in four words. It

Tbh, the strangest thing about this whole mess is the fact that Iran has managed to close Hormuz AND continue to export oil, and the only substantive US response has been to relax sanctions on Iran, allowing it to make more money than it has in years.
Absolutely remarkable. "Iran is now earning nearly twice as much from oil sales each day as it did before American and Israeli bombs started falling on February 28th. It may be pummelled on the battlefield, but the regime is winning the energy war."

If the only cost for breaking the law is a fine, then laws only apply to poor people.
Every bank that touched Epstein's money has settled. JPMorgan: $290 million. Deutsche Bank: $75 million. Bank of America: $72.5 million. $437 million in settlements. Zero criminal charges against any banker.

Trump is unilaterally redirecting $1.25 billion in taxpayer money for foreign aid to his personally controlled "Board of Peace." This isn't even a normal U.S. government entity. It's a "public international organization" he created by executive order, naming himself as chairman

If you let your dog loose and it kills someone, you can be held criminally accountable. When Republicans gut Americans’ healthcare and thousands die as a result, the Republicans are not held accountable. Why?
