And Sure Enough, It Got Worse

Trump: "I had to go to a war. I had to go and fight either a military operation-- some people would call it a war. Some people call it a military operation. It was easy." pic.twitter.com/On7U8A0P8a

This mindless idiot is the POTUS.

BARTIROMO: You keep saying 'was.' Is this war over?

TRUMP: I think it's close to over, yeah. I view it as very close to over. If I pulled up stakes right now, it would take them 20 years to rebuild that country. And we're not finished. We'll see what happens. I think they want… pic.twitter.com/X9aNELvyRA

He’s clinging to that talking point like it was a life preserver.🛟 

BARTIROMO: Did you see that Britain suffered the biggest growth forecast downgrade in the G7? So their economy is impacted.

TRUMP: They gotta stop with the windmills pic.twitter.com/qcpvYsiE9T

No, he didn’t see. No, he doesn’t know what it means.

Trump: "You call it the Strait of Hormuz or the Hormuz Strait. The only thing you can't call it is the Trump Strait. They don't like that idea." pic.twitter.com/RFfouzzQjW

🤦‍♂️

BARTIROMO: Did you see Europe is drafting a plan to open up the Hormuz Strait without the United States?

TRUMP: It's so sad. Look at Greenland. We should have Greenland. pic.twitter.com/YQb3pBDqFr

Yeah. Then none of this would have happened. 😵‍💫

BARTIROMO: Jerome Powell said he's not leaving

TRUMP: Then I'll have to fire him

BARTIROMO: And you think Warsh can get confirmed? You think Tillis is gonna give you a vote?

TRUMP: He might not, but that's why Tillis is no longer a senator

BARTIROMO: Okay pic.twitter.com/Mfwj9v7AIP

A) If Trump could fire Powell, he’d have done it by now.

B) Tillis is a Senator until January, 2027.

C) Trump is a lame duck now.

Nothing is ever Trump’s fault.  EVER!

BARTIROMO: Could AI be the type of technology that undermines confidence in the banking system?

TRUMP: Yeah, probably

BARTIROMO: So should government have some safeguards?

TRUMP: There should be, but we're leading in AI. We're leading China by a lot. pic.twitter.com/Yc6O5S9Uku

I’m surprised he didn’t mention the beautiful letter again.

Trump: "I had the greatest year, the greatest opening year. I ended 8 wars. The greatest economy ever. But even when you have a great president, they tend to lose the midterms. It doesn't make sense to me. We've had the greatest year in the history of the presidency, first year.… pic.twitter.com/e4wmbiqKdB

It doesn't make sense to me. We've had the greatest year in the history of the presidency, first year. We should be given credit."

Reality is in the next room, knocking on the door. (I know small children who don’t whine this much.)

In a post on his Truth Social app, U.S. President Donald J. Trump said that China has agreed not to send weapons to Iran, following reports that China was preparing to send man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS) to Iran via a third-party nation. President Trump also highlighted his upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping early next month, saying President Xi will give me a big fat hug when I get there.”

Trump told Bartiromo that China wasn’t sending weapons to Iran, but now China has agreed not to send (more?) weapons, and Trump will get what he wants: a hug!
