Even though you said it wasn't I had to go and look this up myself to believe it. When I saw it, I thought: "There's no way!".

Unbelievable. I can't believe what he is getting away with, seemingly unchallenged, by that country's leaders! Crazy, crazy stuff. How are more people not standing up to these utterly ridiculous acts that just ooze petulence. I know he's got a lot of nutbars in his administration but there still has to be some people around there that are intelligent and have some semblance of decency.

It blows my mind what we are seeing.

It’s like he’s trying to get fired every single day.

It's time to unite the Americas!

The United Continents of America.

Led by your democratically elected Supreme Commander Donald BJ Trump.

Or he's got some friends like the Impractical Jokers that just send him ridiculous ideas to try and pull off, then challenge him that there's no way he can do it. Then he does it, and gets away with it, so they come up with something more ridiculous, and he does that too...

Don, bet you can't rip down the East Wing! Loser!

Oh yeah?

[ResAlien]

So this fella's on live tv rattling off make believe stats trying to convince people he doesn't suck? I'm sure this will fix those poll numbers

This is insane even by his standards

Edit: hocking his own prescription drug website? Trying to buy off military members with cheques for $1776? Cool now we're vilifying immigrants. I don't know that we can even call this stuff a dog whistle it's just regular old whistles

[MegaErtz]

This is like an SNL skit. This guy is going off his rocker in front of our eyes.

[Senator Clay Davis]

I don't know how you watch this and not want to remove him tomorrow (this very moment, ideally), but it's a good thing for the orange child rapist that Americans are shameless and this won't even really register.

[Locke]

Honestly...its like watching a gradual descent into madness via a stream of consciousness in real time.

How does nobody step in and put a stop to this? He needs to be in a care facility.

Pudding day is Wednesdays.

He does. The crookeder the better.

[direwolf]

SNL is gonna have an absolute field day with this, as will Jon Stewart, Kimmel, etc…. What a complete s*** show.

[puffnstuff]

Even North Korea is embarassed by this guy

Mike Johnson: "We're so excited for the exceptional leadership, for the vision of President Trump to do this. I can't wait to tell everybody about Form 45-47. If we could only put an exclamation point at the end of the form number that would be perfect."

[KootenayFlamesFan]

He's needed help for his mental health decline for a long time now, nobody is stepping in. So here we are. He gets worse and worse by the day, and his supporters just cheer him on and find excuses for the absolutely insane things his brain comes up with. They are all enablers to a very unwell old man......it's basically elder abuse.

But hey, I'm sure he'll get those prescription prices down by 600%.

The Trump economy, everyone. So much winning!

Job growth in the U.S. has weakened. The unemployment rate has climbed to highs not seen in years and wage growth has sputtered. Crucially, the manufacturing sector has cut jobs for seven straight months in spite of the tariffs that were supposed to bolster American manufacturing jobs.


“What we are doing is not working,” said Justin Wolfers, professor of economics at the University of Michigan and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.


Wolfers says that since Trump imposed tariffs on April 1, the manufacturing sector has lost 67,000 jobs. And he says the reason is clear.





"The president put in place a set of policies that were substantially damaging to the United States. And the United States economy has done terribly. So that part seems pretty straightforward to me," said Wolfers.

What worries economists and policymakers alike is that if things did get worse, the data available right now may not have fully captured those changes.


"Historically, the U.S. job market has not softened calmly and quietly. It has weakened aggressively and suddenly," said RBC’s chief economist Frances Donald.

Wolfers has been saying this was coming for months now. And he says it’s not only about Trump’s tariff policy.


“What's happening in the United States is not puzzling. It’s an incoherent, chaotic policy process that brings forward widely discredited policies and undermines consumer and business confidence and the trust of people around the world,” he told CBC News.


He points to immigration policies, the fact that Trump has run up a $1.8 trillion deficit in 2025 and has a long, established history of changing his mind without notice.

Epstein files about to be released.. might be a good time to go on holidays and not do any work

[btimbit]

Time to see if the millions paid in overtime to redact republicans from the files was worth the burden to the American taxpayer

[Fuzz]

Let's be honest here. Nobody, including the American tax payer, cares about the American tax payer. That's all acceptable collateral damage in the war.

His decline into dementia has emphasized his personality traits that have always been there. People that like him for those traits probably just like him more now (the 36% or so of Americans that still approve, which is a lot of frickin people to be honest). The minority of supporters that have strayed from him are mainly the ones that knew he was a terrible person but didn't mind because they thought he would enrich them.

I'm not even really convinced that what we are seeing is the result of mental decline. I think this is just the guy he always was and his second term was always going to be aggressively stupid without the worry of re-election.

[Drak]

Trump’s brain is definitely in decline. Just take a look at videos of him from 2016 or earlier. He’s also shown other signs, such as a weird leaning forward stance and dragging his leg. His hand is permanently covered in bruises from an obvious injection site and his speech is often slurred, repetitive or totally nonsensical.

[puffnstuff]

He must have needed something for his ego this morning after last nights 'performance'

Press Secretary
I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building. Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation. Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump, and likewise, congratulations to President Kennedy, because this will be a truly great team long into the future! The building will no doubt attain new levels of success and grandeur.

[Senator Clay Davis]

Dems don't have the heart, of course, but if they get in power again they need to have "Trump-Epstein Memorial for the Victims of Child Rape" up in about 7 seconds.
