Trump told you he’d run America like a business.
He is.
It’s called asset stripping. You go in, sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, & walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag.
Venture capitalist politics.
Nichols: It’s almost like we have a relative in the room, and there’s something deeply wrong with him. And we’ve all agreed not to talk about it. But there is something deeply wrong with him.
His friends know it, his critics know it. His staff, I’m sure, knows it. The world knows it. World leaders know it. And most importantly, our enemies know it, which is why they don’t take him seriously.
Nobody hangs on his words. They kind of do, but mostly out of freakish curiosity to see what kind of wild thing he’s going to say next, not because his words have any inherent meaning or reflect policy.
You know, I spent years teaching students that when the president speaks, it’s policy, and you must pay attention when the president speaks because nobody can contradict him.
Now, you know, are we really cutting off all trade with Spain? Who knows? Maybe. Maybe not. It might have just been a stray electron, you know, careening around inside his brainpan. Who knows?
But this is really dangerous because in the middle of all this stuff—and we can laugh about, you know, the Islamic Republic of Japan and all of that—but he made several statements about an ongoing war that the United States is losing. And no one’s even trying to pretend that they can make any sense of it.
And I’ll just add one last thing that you just brought up.
If this were any other president, this would be a national crisis. I mean, Joe Biden got somebody’s name wrong, and it was headlines. The president gets all kinds of things wrong, completely, you know, is out to lunch at an important NATO summit, and, you know, it’s Wednesday.
I am appalled by the IOC’s decision to provisionally lift their sanction on the Russian Olympic Committee. Please see my statement on behalf of the Government of Canada, below:
Mohammad Paktiawal died in ICE custody. He fought with our troops in Afghanistan. He was not here illegally or a criminal. He worked & had a family. There was no reason for his detention. This ongoing inhumanity is a national shame. Powerful @BillKristol:

Greenland's Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen on choosing between the United States and Denmark:
"If we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the EU."
🇭🇺 PM Magyar: Let me make it very clear concerning the war in Ukraine, on behalf of Hungarian government, that Ukraine is the victim, Russia is the brutal aggressor and Ukraine has the right to defend its territorial integrity. We maintain our humanitarian assistance to Ukraine.
Hear me out…
Since we’re having such a hard time finding male candidates without a history of abuse, sexual assault, or rape maybe it’s time we started electing more women.
No objection from Trumpty or Stephen Miller.
Wealthy Russian women frequently travel to South Florida for "birth tourism," paying for packages of up to $75,000+ that include short-term rentals in luxury Trump-branded properties—such as Trump Palace, Trump Royale, and Trump Towers in Sunny Isles Beach—to secure U.S. citizenship for their babies.
Last night Ukraine could not intercept a single Russian ballistic missile. The USA deliberately starving Ukraine of Patriot missiles is now clearly understood by the Russians as American support for their terror bombing. The USA is helping Putin kill Ukrainians.
