His obsession with the word “perfect“ is yet another of his endless oddities.
Trump: "Gaza -- while it looks a little bit messy, it has for many many years, decades, but it's getting very close to being perfected."

There is no way an actual member of this administration admitted to anyone that they lost anything. They are psychologically incapable of admitting failure, however small. Every single member of this criminal enterprise is delusional all the time.

Q: Why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files? Why not just do it now?
TRUMP: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you're a terrible reporter. It's the way you ask these questions. You start off with a man who's highly respected asking him an insubordinate question

We can’t get rid of her. She’s in celebrity synchronous orbit.
Where "exile" is "chilling in a house in Malibu for a while, hiking & writing, until I'm ready to return as editor of Vanity Fair."
God people are embarrassing themselves around this. It's so fucking gross.

I’ve seen enough. No pierogi for you.

And we won.
