It would be extremely powerful if you read this unedited proclamation by the US President on-air @chrislhayes.bsky.social.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

Trump has given up on his biggest campaign promise.

Now he mocks the cost of living crisis and calls affordability a "con job."

Meanwhile, corporations that have the power to jack up prices, suppress wages, and bust unions are laughing all the way to the bank (and funding Trump's ballroom).

NEW, from me: One startling stat captures just how badly the year went for the GOP.

Democrats flipped 21% of all GOP-held legislative seats at play.

That's thanks to gains they made in six states this year, and I break it all down in my latest:

Hear me out. Maybe it’s three ghosts of cognitive tests visiting him in the night.
I know we’ve been talking about the 25th Amendment being invoked for years now, but we should probably be talking about it a lot more and a lot more seriously right now.
Couple of things here:

1. Trump says he took another cognitive test recently

2. In front of "large numbers of doctors and experts"

3. He called the examinations "long...and very boring"

4. If you're given 3 cognitive exams in one year by panels of doctors, something is VERY wrong with you

Let me just say that I do not work at an outlet with an aggressive paywall, but I will also instantly block this kind of nonsense.

How does anyone think not paying to be informed is a flex? We have to support real news and indie outlets.

The alternative to paying is AI slop and Billionaire PR.

An insane political move. One of the recurring complaints about immigration in the U.S. is that those seeking asylum jump the line. This is line-jumping — but for rich people, not those in need.

I double-checked because I literally could not believe this was true, and he actually did say this. I wish I lived in the type of country where the press covered the current President's delusional fantasies with as much zeal as they covered the former President's age.
