Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.

Doctor here. Trump’s call to hang opponents is a textbook sign of β€œdisinhibition”, a central feature of frontotemporal dementia.

So basically insurance, that does not give you the security of actual insurance. Got it.

OK this is amazing.
Trump’s Truth Social has its own AI search tool, which company debuted a month after Trump signed an exec order to end use of β€œWoke AI” in federal government.
Here's how it responds to questions about tariffs, who won 2020 election, Jan 6, etc:

So says the person who thinks a cognitive test is an IQ test. Can he even draw a clock face? We don’t know.

Um I know what magnets are and the magnets China makes are an alloy containing Neodymium which is a rare earth metal which is not rare but a pain to extract and causes nasty byproducts so we are happy to have China refine it except that it makes us very reliant on China. Trump is a moron.

Thanks. Correct me if I am wrong but actually the vote is already 218 so the Tennessee rep is not relevant. That assumes MTG continues to say she will vote for the release.

Disappointing, but on the bright side there are Epstein files to see and Trumpers weren’t going to change until they get kicked hard in the balls and that will happen when they get their medical insurance bills. Let them have a few months of medical bills.

Aren’t they arguing that Biden’s pardons are invalid bc he had no idea who he was pardoning?? So…

If the Epstein ballroom is ever finished I suggest demolishing it by charging $5 per swing of a sledge hammer. That should be enough pay for a sensible remodel. I would like 1,000 swings please.

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’tΒ β€˜interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days.
