I just find it hilarious that his whole cabinet is sloberring praise all over him with ridiculous hyperbole and he is falling asleep while they're doing it.

Gupta: Nobody takes a Montreal Cognitive Assessment with this type of frequency. Doing it as frequently as he’s doing makes no sense. I don’t know any neurologist who would recommend doing a MoCA with that type of frequency. It’s not the flex that I think he believes it is.

If the Dell's really wanted to make an impact, they could have helped American kids today- right here, right now- with food, clothing, housing, scholarships... all sorts of things. But investment accounts in a yet defined program seems like a lot of smoke & mirrors. What a waste.
Billionaires Michael and Susan Dell pledged $6.25 billion to provide 25 million American children an incentive to claim the new investment accounts for children created as part of President Donald Trump’s tax and spending legislation.

Even people who fully passed the citizenship exam are having their cases put on hold, just inches from the finish line.

Trump trying to bury the Jack Smith report is the same playbook we just saw with the Epstein files — anything that might expose his crimes gets sealed, stalled, or shoved out of sight. He hides evidence, pardons his friends, shields himself and his allies, and dares Congress to stand up to him.
