White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.

if "we took the freedom of speech away" doesn't lead every Democratic campaign ad for the rest of time, what are we even doing here

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

sorta weird that the thing he thinks is "wrong" is the amount of payment to the hospital, not the lack of treatment for the patient, right?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4d

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

look I'm not saying we should trust his medical advice but this HEPATITAS thing sounds legit scary

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 16d

Highly normal. Nothing to see here, folks.

Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!

What even is this?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 17d

Trump: "This is the only country in the world where you announce great numbers & the stock market goes down, bc when you announce great numbers they immediately want to take that success away by raising the interest rates. Why can't you announce great numbers and let them lower the interest rates?"
