First: What Did Trump And Burgum Say?

Bash: "Jeanine Pirro…said in a court document…that they were trying to send a man who was innocent to jail based on lies about vandalism. He was accused of crimes that he did not commit. As chair of the judiciary committee, does that bother you?"

Rep. Jordan: "If those are the… pic.twitter.com/vswJbcsatL

Because in the GOP, the facts are what Trump says they are. And the Emperor’s clothes are always fabulous!

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, because I’m focused on many other things.… pic.twitter.com/NeBKpST7uR

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, because I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

Trump has played golf every 4.5 days on average in 2026. So, roughly 6 times a month; or almost every day of every weekend of every month. Most working people would call that a lot of practice. My father was an avid golfer, especially after he retired. He might have played that regularly; but only because he was retired, and had nothing better to do.

Does he have any idea how many evangelicals are freaked out by this? Does he have any clue why?

Trump: I was asked by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Iran. We were all set to go just about at this time right now, and it would have been a massive attack. We were all set to go, but when our allies ask to call it off, you sort of have to say, “Well, let’s see.”

Well, that and:

Trump appears to suggest he held off on attacking Iran over the possibility of a flood of refugees from Iran into Saudi Arabia. pic.twitter.com/2vZiZginUe

Or just:

MBS appears to have been one of the major regional figures to have personally communicated this with Trump.

Notably Saudi Arabia refused to provide basing support for Operation Project Freedom in May over similar concerns. https://t.co/7b9Hk3fdYv

Yeah, he just doesn’t want to talk about that.

Reporter: Why is the U.S. intervening to support the Japanese yen at this time?

Trump: Japan’s been very good to us, with the exception, of course, of Pearl Harbor. pic.twitter.com/MY2uFdDBYA

Now it’s too dark to practice his golfs, so he uses his important executive time to oversee the country single-handedly:

Given the futures markets have yet to figure out Trump’s pronouncements are wholly unreliable and always the work of a fabulist, I’m sure he’ll still find buyers for his latest corrupt scheme. 

And just to come back to this:

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?" pic.twitter.com/1IhkykMWpw

Because, of course he did.

Reporter: Should Max Miller resign?

Trump: Well, so far… it’s accusations. pic.twitter.com/PAuqRaxZFq

Because, of course he did. (Your regular reminder that Trump was Epstein’s wingman.)
