BASH: Let's start with the big question -- will you refund the roughly $134 billion taken by these tariffs?

BESSENT: That's not the big question. That's bad framing

BASH: Refunds are clearly gonna be up to you

Can we first determine what the #%@! number is? 😡

a guy who claimed to be named John Barron and sounded a lot like Trump called into C-SPAN to complain about the Supreme Court's tariff decision and call Hakeem Jeffries "a dope"

Or who the caller is?

Either a great prank or the most pathetic phone call ever made — and the fact that we can’t tell which it is really says it all https://t.co/OJg5MynLGa

Trump’s brain is melting. 🫠 *

Did JD Vance thank Greenland yet for providing emergency medical care to our US sailor?

President Trump’s idea of sending an American hospital ship to Greenland has been noted. However, we have a public healthcare system where treatment is free for citizens. That is a deliberate choice — and a fundamental part of our society. That is not the case in the United States, where seeing a doctor comes at a cost. 💵💰

We are always open to dialogue and cooperation — including with the United States. But please speak with us instead of making more or less random statements on social media. 👍

Dialogue and cooperation require respect for the fact that decisions about our country are made here at home. 🇬🇱

Can we get an update on this, Jeff? It’s been almost 15 hours now and Trump said this ship was on the way. What have you been doing to make this happen? What about people in Louisiana who can’t afford health care? Do you have a ship for them?

*TBH, it sounds a little too much like Trump, and not enough like Trump. And the line about Schumer, “who can’t cook a cheeseburger,” is too good for Trump, who’s never been that clever. But given the deranged post about Greenland and a naval hospital ship, it’s not impossible that this is real. Which is a sad commentary, indeed.
