Q: On the checks, we have $40t in debt. If your economic policies are working, why do you need an incentive for people to turn out to vote?
T: I'm doing it as a reward for having to put up w/Biden

Trump, empowered by SCOTUS, entered office convinced he could do insider trading, sell pardons and favors, take bribes, steal and openly flout the law. Now, with the prospect of investigations looming, he is growing ever more fearful that he miscalculated.

Mona Keijzer zit qua prutspolitiek opvallend dicht op het niveau van Trump. Haar plannen klinken ambitieus, maar uiteindelijk lijkt het vooral een poging om wat kiezers weg te snoepen bij de andere losers op rechts. De zoveelste kabouterpartij is geboren.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

WELKER: Collins says Trump's Canada tariffs will increase costs on families. Is she right?
SCOTT: Let's look back at Biden--
W: Wait. Trump has been in office for two years. Inflation was at 3% when Biden left office. It's at 3.4% right now.

I would guess that Trump, having lost the war with Iran and also the war to avoid Natalie questions, plus plummeting in the polls, he is randomly lashing out (randomly lashing out being the correct term for his foreign policy, interspersed with abject submission to ultra-authoritarian regimes).
