Pierre Salinger was press secretary, not a speech writer.
And yes ... let your mind run straight to a Karoline Leavitt comparison ... imagine her handling crisis communications around a Bay of Pigs to realize how unserious Donald Trump is about what was the most powerful job in the world.

"Why does Rice play Texas?" was his very own, added in his handwrinting on the typed text of the speech.
I also highly recommend my friend Rob Schlesinger's excellent book, 'White House Ghosts: Presidents and their Speechwriters', which has a chapter on JFK and his speechwriter Ted Sorenson.

Ted Sorenson. One of the world's great speechwriters and close advisor and collaborator with Kennedy.

Not aware but not surprised. Truly Tasteless Barbie at it again.

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.

Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

Right?

No wonder at all.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year. The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive. threads.com/@unapologeticallyzae

The survivors and their testimony are going to have to be the hammer that breaks this open. As if they haven't done enough.

I hope there is a major class action filed by Monday. There is no way in the world that is even legal.

No biggie, just an American president suggesting the federal government would take over New York City if he doesn’t like who they choose as mayor.

Will of the people, be damned.

As @wkamaubell.bsky.social says,
“That is called FASCISM!”

FINALLY boarding and so sick of the amateur hour in Washington.

We're going to see the words, "Where will we go?" over and over again.

Let's be frank: to BOYCOTT the games.

PLEASE be transparent!

They put JD in charge of getting ahead of the story??

We can’t lose focus on what matters – right now, Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year’s midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy.

Too right.

Tariffs are basically a regressive sales tax so those that have the lowest income pay the highest percentage of their income in tax.

As the working poor are less than human to Trump he doesn't give a stuff and is happy to pile them on.

Daily proof of cluelessness.

I feel like that should be in title caps ... some seriously stupid TikTok or reality show.

It's a wonder his father didn't go broke bailing his a$$ out.

Don't you long for a time we won't have to ask this daily?

I - Illicit
C - Cruel
E - Entrapment

Arrest the real criminals in the #EpsteinFiles
Start with the WH Felon Rapist. #ImpeachDJTagain

So the logic here is ... we keep killing them but they keep making more so we can't be doing anything wrong?
