That's what he's been purging - and covering up - from the start. Anyone who can make sense of the Trump (Epstein) story. The two are so closely related they can't be separated.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy when you cast the leadership *conversation* as a leadership "contest". Contests are divisive. Conversations are collaborative.

The US president is teasing different ways that he falsely claims he would be "allowed" to violate the plain language and obvious intent of the US Constitution.

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin used exactly the method he falsely says he is "allowed" to use, to remain dictator for the last 26 years.

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

A quick scan of my timeline will reveal that his undeniable narcissism is the least of my concerns. The guy's been a Russian asset since 1987.

I don't care how he talks. It's what he's not telling you that matters.

The meandering path of his "weave" is widening. But it never was a "weave". It was always a collision between somebody's reality and his fantasy.

that too, yes. his "weave". where he tries to ground somebody else's reality in his fantasy. It ain't random.

The Canadian conversation around economy is high school level.

Means tell you one thing. Dispersion tells you something different.

First moment, second moment.

There's a reason that the Nobel prizes in economics are going to people who study inequality.

It's the new journalism. Here to stay. New normal.

One of the advantages of him having people that he's comfortable with around him is that he will get talking. He will open his big fat mouth and say the quiet parts out loud.

The people around him know that, which is why they're always nervous.

He wants to make sure the conversation is steered away from his data bunker that people are calling a ballroom.

Exactly. This is his clumsy way of reframing the conversation around one of his current talking points, in this case gambling in sports.

Not sane-washing, but do you people even listen to the audio?

He cut himself off from finishing his sentence - as he often does - echoing locker room talk - about the hall of fame, not the world series game.

This was his attempt to reframe the conversation around gambling.

This is what we should be expecting from now on.

A lot of things are about to change.

Compromised since 1987, this guy is a massive security threat.

No wonder he was kryptonite to Reagan.

I was thinking physical security. But data security tracks. Especially now that Trump has first-hand experience seeing what slop AI can produce.

The lack of architectural plans could be because somebody else has the plans. And they're secret.

A place to steal elections from. Like the servers in the Trump tower that they used in 2016s great hack. But big.

This guy is a threat to national security, compromised since 1987.

Wasn't sure if that was just my own personal experience. Apparently not.

Trump: "They have Jasmine Crockett -- a low IQ person. AOC is low IQ. Have her pass the exams I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. They're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. The first couple questions are easy -- a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe ... "

Trump on his recent trip to Walter Reed: "I got an MRI. It was perfect ... if I didn't think it was gonna be good, either I would let you know negatively, I wouldn't run, I'd do something."

(Note how he's openly talking about running for a third term.)
