Uh….๐Ÿ˜

MSNBC: Why does Trump constantly exaggerate about the economy instead of just being straight with the American people?

HASSETT: The president spent a lot of time with our team preparing slides that showed the data for what he was talking about in the speech. He had documentation.
Were those slides flashed so quickly for the TeeVee audience they could only be perceived subliminally?

Wait… he had documentation for drug prices dropping 600%, and inflation being the highest it had been in 48 years? Because I remember double digit inflation under Reagan. Haven’t seen that again since Volcker.
The U.S. government, ladies and gentlemen! Ceaselessly serving the needs of the…(checks notes)…corporations! As a person in America on Medicare (I know what he said), let me just say: if you don’t want to be on it, you’re a damned fool. Or a congresscritter with lifetime healthcare coverage. I dunno. "Grab 'em by the pussy" wasn't enough. Nobody seems to care unless underaged girls are involved. He’s bringing out the best in our government. Yeah, it was already allocated by Congress, as part of the military housing allowance. Trump is just trying to take credit for it. And he can still declare war if he wants to: Even GOP Congresscritters know better:
"He has said no less than 17 times in recent months that land strikes could be coming soon," Keilar said, referring to Trump signaling that the United States could advance attacks on land.

"Yeah, well, I'm just telling you, the briefings we've got, we aren't currently engaged in hostilities directly against Venezuela," Davidson responded. "The boats are not flagged. Venezuelan boats. And what people are calling a blockade is really more of — is targeting sanctioned oil ships. It's not like we're blocking all shipments going in and out of Venezuela."

Keilar pressed Davidson further.

"What — you mean by people, do you mean Trump? Because he called it a blockade," Keilar asked.

"The language is blockade. But the reality is what's going on isn't closure of everything going in and out of the country. It's a targeted enforcement action," Davidson said.

Keilar pushed back with a sharp question.

"The language of the president is blockade. So he's wrong?" Keilar asked.

"It's not a blockade. A blockade would be that there's no flow of goods in and out of Venezuela. So those are distinctions," Davidson added. "And what we're doing is enforcing current law. The administration is clearly not in violation of the War Powers Resolution, currently. And it's also clear, though, as I said in my statement, that if we did engage directly, let's say we deploy Marines on the ground in Venezuela that does cross the war powers and the United States."

Davidson said that the Constitution is clear about how war works and that he's talked to Secretary of State Marco Rubio about it.
Would that get him impeached? Shhhh! Leave him in his bubble.

    Dude is stolen valor personified, slapping his name on steaks, vodka, and now...the Kennedy Center. He is going to make a great exhibit at the Smithsonian. "Trump's Legacy as a Warning: Fascism and the American Decline."

      I’m surprised he didn’t label it “The Gulf of Trump.”
