Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."

Authoritarian leaders cannot stand hearing criticism when they are wrong because it reminds them of the scolding they once received from their control-freak parents. They overreact to even the smallest comment since every criticism touches an old bruise.

🔥 The White House released an article on Monday citing a DoorDash report as confirmation that "inflation has been tamed."
I asked a DoorDash spokesperson today if the company had concluded from its report that inflation had been tamed. DoorDash spokesperson told me, "We did not write that."

She wrote a prescient and scathing book, "Cyberselfish."
