I will never get used to a president talking about his own country’s biggest cities this way

[Jesse Livermore @Jesse_Livermore]

Hard to even process -- a president selling market-moving information to banks and wealthy investors in advance of everyone else, and personally pocketing hundreds of millions of dollars from it. This alone is more worthy of impeachment than 100 Watergate cover-ups.

[Dan Cluchey @dancluchey]

Truly, no idea is too obviously stupid for this administration. Why not let veterans skip medical school while we’re at it, and head right into your loved one’s OR?

[jon @jonfarrin]

@SRuhle @atrupar The man is a moron

[psteves @psteves68]

@HQNewsNow Once again. I am trying to say this in the most diplomatic way possible that doesn't actively hide the truth: It is impossible to overstate how stupid you have to be to have ever believed that Trump was qualified to be President.

[ProfTalmadge @ProfTalmadge]

The worst part is this was knowable and known prior to the war.

[Juliette Kayyem @juliettekayyem]

Do not laugh about this speech. It’s impossible to follow but he’s directly challenging our right to vote. The president of the United States is lying in order to wage war on our democracy and against the states. I don’t care your politics; everybody should be outraged.

[Jesse Livermore @Jesse_Livermore]

Think about how easy it would have been for a president to not screw this term up. Take office in '25, extend the tax cuts, then get out of the way. Done.

Instead, we have a president who, at every turn, has dramatically exacerbated every problem he was elected to solve. Higher inflation (tariffs, fiscal recklessness, Iran debacle), higher rates (interference w/ the Fed), endless wars, plus some of the most disgusting corruption the office has ever seen (swamp?)

Judged against a passive benchmark, this is without question the worst performance of any president in U.S. history.

[Robert Lusetich @RobertLusetich]

@atrupar I'm starting to think he's never getting over the fact that Biden drummed him in 2020.

[jon @jonfarrin]

@ricwe123 huh?

[Scarlett & Carter's BaPa @KASDad]

Trump is always very serious when he says something stupid. Serious is the first step to TACO.

Will become effective as soon as the Don Jr. and Eric Trump Maritime Payment Exchange Corporation is formed.

[Judd Legum @JuddLegum]

The allegations against Platner were disqualifying. He had to drop out.

The difference between Platner and Trump is Platner was credibly accused by a victim — Trump was credibly accused by a victim AND found liable by a jury.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

They're trying to give a guy 10 years in prison for ripping a piece of already-peeling sealant, after pardoning people who beat cops and stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a democratic election. What a screwed-up administration.

[Molly Jong-Fast @MollyJongFast]

It’s like being stuck in the dumbest dystopia

[Jared Moskowitz @JaredEMoskowitz]

Watching a President of the United States fly a plane personally gifted to him by a foreign government isn’t just corrupt, it makes us look weak to the world.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

As a proud American, there is something disturbing to me about my president flying in a plane given to him by a foreign government.

[Jesse Singal @jessesingal]

2/ Trump's an all-time evil genius, in his way. He exploited a legitimate sentiment held by many Americans, which is that the richest inhabit a corrupt world, hidden from view, in which different rules apply, and won office despite being the very embodiment of that problem.

[Jesse Singal @jessesingal]

Really helpless feeling about where we're at. There's a historic (by American standards) level of corruption and looting going on right now and the party that could stop it is fine with it. And since it is cult of personality his supporters cheer it!

Perfect encapsulation of how government is broken.

Lawmaker votes against something simply because the other side was enthusiastic about it. Did he even read it? Instead of being “spooked,” why not read it and decide the merits for yourself?

Nope. Instead you govern off vibes.
