He looked desperate and tired. Everyone knows and sees through his Gish Gallop tactic to avoid answering tough questions. He has to keep accusing the reporter of lies and corruption to push down the knowledge that he's the liar, fraud and criminal. And once again, he runs away from the interview. 

So many of his accusations are confessions.

FWIW... they (MAGA) know they've been played, and their middle finger to the world has gone into hiding.  I ride a bike on a lot of "country" roads through NJ farm country, and the Trump support signs, banners, and front yard statements of defiance are gone.   We all knew they were assholes when they put them up.  Now they all know they were assholes too.  They won't say it out loud... but the majority of them know they were taken in by the con man.



Maybe, but I'll reserve my judgement of them until I see how they vote. I'm betting they will vote for some flavor of "more of the same please, but with cover for the previous mistakes".

Smaller government... good... save $1

Outbreak of something we had under control for $2... costs you $10... blame Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton.

The destruction of the US by the "Make America Great" crowd is one of the colossal fuck ups in world history, which will be written over decades. 

To save money, we stopped paying the electric bill, and are only now beginning to realize we were living on a respirator.

That's not at all the conclusion I get from the article. It isn't about underfunding USDA, it is about biosecurity. 

Aside from that, I'm pretty anti the live meat trade and pretty anti feedlots so it seems like overall a good thing.

Sorry... but the irony is that the people he's "targeting" helped get him elected (again).

The first generation Latino citizens swung dramatically in Trumps favor in 2024.  So did other immigrant populations.

He fed them bullshit about inflation, and crime, and socialism (which many fled)...and they figured why not give it another try.  

They should be offended... and their support has waned as they realize that things could actually get worse.

They seem to be saying that the aliens are just like the citizens and living normal lives as productive members of society. So what's the problem? Maybe just leave them alone.

Why 1966 and not 1947? "Countless presidents"? There have only been 11 presidents since 1966; only 45 in the entire US history. More like a clumsily-veiled spot about "foreigners".
