With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

If this were a Democratic president actually falling asleep on the job right in front of our eyes, the right wing media sphere would keep this story alive for years, noting every single time it happened. The 'regular' media would join in with hundreds of think pieces.

Back in 2017, Trump revealed, in a friendly interview with the NYT, that he literally did not understand how health insurance works. The NYT editors bailed him out instead of following up. I wrote about it then, and I still think about it all the time: www.commonwealmagazine.org/man-who-knew...

it is darkly humorous that after all these years, the Republican health insurance plan ends up being to end health insurance
