Right in the middle of a White House event promoting their bizarre vision of "health," one of them passed out and required medical attention.

The writers are getting lazier and lazier.
holy shit -- one of Trump's toadies just passed out and the White House event is brought to an abrupt end

Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber on addressing challenges facing higher education
Universities have found themselves under pressure from President Trump – from blocked funds for research, to attacks on their admission policies and diversity programs. Princeton's president says, "The stakes are really high."

Quoting my idol: “It’s rape. Brutalizing the building where women worked. Tearing away FDR’s legacy — the New Deal. He already destroyed Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden.”
If this had happened during a Democratic presidency Fox News would be 24 hours of nonstop “AMERICA DESECRATED!” headlines.

This is a desecration and an abomination. First he posts an AI video of himself wearing a crown dumping shit on the heads of Americans, then he starts tearing down part of the White House for his Mar-a-Lago style ballroom.

Just to hammer this in:

I don't know of an example in US history of comparable *in-person humiliation* for a US president. And of course for the country.

Trump will soon realize how visibly he was "owned." In view of the whole world.
Q for those w experience in politics or diplomacy:

Is there *any* other example of a US prez, on US soil, letting a foreign leader control the mic for a very long time, in his own language, w/o consecutive translation, before letting US prez say anything all?

I don't know of any.

Humiliating.

These two a friends. Period. End of story.

I’ve covered a variety of summits. And I know what admiration looks like.

That’s the end of the world order as we knew it. A sad day for everyone.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
