Trump is so out of touch with everyday Americans, he doesn’t even know how long a typical mortgage lasts. Ingraham steps in to help him out, but it's just embarrassing how disconnected from reality this guy is.

This is my favorite part of this cycle we've been repeating for my entire adult life: when they sit backwards on the chair for some real talk and explain that you're a fucking peasant who doesn't understand how things work.

For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

this shit is WEIRD
I'm confused about the video clips Trump is pushing out on Truth Social and YouTube right now.
They're all shorter clips on various topics, but I'm not sure where they were shot or why they were done in this style behind a podium talking directly to camera.
