@AriFleischer Nothing similar about it

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

The inflation rate in Biden's last month in office was 2.9%. Trump (supported by a Republican Congress) has driven it up to 4.2%.

Thank you, voters, for your attention to this matter.

Since Trump already declared the greatest victory in the history of war, politically there isn't much to gain from actually winning. If the war ends Trump loses his scapegoat. Trump wants to keep pretending the economy would be great but for the war he had no choice but to start.

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

So far, over the first five months of 2026, the CPI is up 2.52%. If this pace continues for all of 2026, the CPI will rise 6.2%, the most since 2022. But I think the second half of the year will see a much bigger rise, sending the full year above 7%, the highest rate since 1981.

OMFG!

Trump literally just celebrated a massive increase in our trade deficit.

He doesn’t even know what a “widening of our trade deficit” means. He thinks it means that we are exporting more than we’re importing, which would be good, but it means the exact opposite.

Here’s what really happened.

@Ersin0X She threw it like a girl

@Metrorailinfo How about the many thousands that don’t know this? What if there were a simple arrow pointing to the up escalators?

[Brian Collins @FitRugby]

@Metrorailinfo When departing a train between escalator bays what is the trick for knowing which way to turn for the exit escalator - for example Crystal City

[Brian Collins @FitRugby]

@ddale8 No mention of Nobel peace prize

[Brian Collins @FitRugby]

@Metrorailinfo When I exit the train heading from Alexandria to DC at Crystal city stop I cannot tell
Which way to go
For the nearest up escalator - how does one know whether to turn right or left to find the UP escalator?

@USARugby Wish this was made available or promoted more often full games on YouTube - it’s hard to catch games live with the various changing platforms.

Would HSBC object to having replays on YouTube of every game! Of course this one is special

[Brian Collins @FitRugby]

@CGasparino Trump brought it up claiming fraud in CA

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

One reason the Iran war may not end before the midterms is that it gives Trump the perfect scapegoat. He can blame rising prices on the war and hold out false hope that as soon as the war ends, prices will come crashing down. He can’t risk ending the war and prices staying high.

[Brian Collins @FitRugby]

He said “Your” elections to Welker. What country is he from?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview

Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.

Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.

Welker: Do you have evidence?

Trump: All I have to do is look.

Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow

Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.
