“When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!” Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote

"Cartel" originates from the Italian "cartello," a leaf of paper. In the 16th century, the term in French means a written agreement for prisoner exchange between warring nations. By the 19th century, it referred to businesses collaborating to limit competition and control prices.
Trump: Somebody came up with the word cartel. I won't tell you who that person was

@RonaldReagan Truly shameful for you to lie about Reagan’s legacy to try to cover-up for Trump. Here are the unedited remakes. Everyone, listen for yourself:

Trump defames Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles. https://t.co/jI2eEO4Jvk

In 4 sentences, he used the first-person pronoun "I" four times. egocentric /ē″gō-sĕn′trĭk/ adjective Confined in attitude or interest to one's own needs or affairs. Caring only about oneself; selfish.
Trump: "In the meantime I have to run the USA, but I love solving wars. You know why? I like stopping people from being killed. And I've saved millions and millions of lives."

"To the best of my knowledge..." He's just admitting what most of us already know. His knowledge is severely limited.
Trump: "To the best of my knowledge we've never had a president that solved one war."

He doesn't drive, yet he says gas prices are down. He doesn't shop for groceries, yet he says grocery prices are down. He never goes among the public, yet he says everyone supports him.

Enough with the word "Meltdown," as in "He had a meltdown over..." It's overused, and it's time to think of other words. Apoplectic fit? Flew into a rage? Outburst of anger? Angry response? Or if you prefer one word: Furious, irritated, disgusted, livid, mad, crazy...

Stream of consciousness is a narrative technique that captures the continuous flow of a character's thoughts and feelings, often in a disjointed or unpunctuated form. 👇
Trump: I'm getting calls from Democrats wanting to meet. I never even heard their names before. The Democrats have no leader. They remind me of Somalia. I met the president of Somalia.

It's Obama's fault. It's Biden's fault. He left out Eve. I mean, she did take the first bite of the apple, right?
Ron Johnson: "Quite honestly, by now it should be obvious to every American that it's not the Republicans that are a threat to our democracy. It's President Obama, it's President Biden."

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Donald Trump says. I went to the ocean one time. When I saw the water and it hit me. I was wet. Some would say it was very wet. Nobody thought water could be so wet. What the fuck is he talking about? 🚨 https://t.co/4V70Ki4Or8

Bet he hasn't gone to the grocery store lately----or ever. All I'm saying is, I was going to purchase a new car this week, but after buying groceries, I got scared and decided to wait. And don't get me started on energy bills.
Trump: People are doing better than they have right now. We have no inflation. I inherited a mess and now we have a country. We're the hottest country in the world. Are you doing better today? I don't think so.

REPORTER: You just announced a new nominee for US Surgeon General who never finished her residency, and is not a practicing physician. So can you explain why you picked her? TRUMP: Bobby thought she was fantastic ... I don't know her. @atrupar

1st rule of writing and speaking: Know your audience.
The silence of the generals, by Robert B. Hubbell The most remarkable aspect of Trump’s speech to the assembled generals and admirals of the US military was the silence. The generals sat in silence. They sat in silence as Trump slurred and rambled through a “speech” that

I'm old enough to consider a person in their 20s as a child, especially when they act like one 👇.
Leavitt: “I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit.”

Kaitlan Collins: The last two government shutdowns that happened came during President Trump's first term in office. The last shutdown, which was also the longest in modern American history, did cost the U.S. economy $11 billion.

I thought he had decided to turn the military loose on us, but it sounds like it would be more fun for him to just cut support programs and medical care. We each make the world in which we live. His is a sad sad world.
Trump on punishing Americans: "We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible that are bad for them and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out, cutting things they that they like, cutting programs that they like."
