Apart from being obviously awful you can see from the flash of anger on his face that he is feeling *completely* out of control about this situation. Reminds me of the interview he bailed on in the ESPN 30 for 30, “Who Killed the USFL,” when he was confronted on his failures by a reporter

Holidays are coming up, a perfect time to remind your MAGA family members that Epstein is only part of the story, Trump has been importing foreign sex traffickers and giving them special protection.
Then ask, "so did Trump bring the Tate brothers here as a replacement for Epstein's services?"

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Trump in 2020: We have to go by the laws. We can't move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there's no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor.

I agree with Parker here: a significant chunk (if not most) of the leopards-eating-faces stories we are seeing right now are better framed as "the mainstream media knowingly misled their readers/viewers by covering Trump's obviously false campaign statements as though he weren't a pathological liar
The problem I have with these sorts of pieces is that they don't acknowledge the role that the press played in spreading Trump's obvious lies. Like yeah, this lady in WaPo thought Trump was going to make IVF free. I wonder where she got that idea...

We’re about to find out if the “deficit hawks” mean what they say. Because the only way to reconcile massive Trump tax cuts with their stated main priority is to either cut spending enough to crush swing district Rs in 2026, or accept Johnson’s phony numbers on DOGE & tariffs.
