I'm not saying they're inaccurate. They're just like the Truth ads about smoking back when I smoked. They were accurate; they just made me light up in defiance.

Since tariffs, I noticed a surprising trend: elite Trump supporters saying they might have made a mistake. So I asked them what they were thinking, both in November and today.
One big takeaway: they thought Elon was actually competent. That error proved catastrophic.

Some elite Trump supporters are having regrets. We asked them why.
After the tariffs, they’re worried they made a MAGA mistake.

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.
Trump: "I'm delighted to announce this afternoon that the US will be taking a small portion of the hundreds of billions of dollars we receive in tariffs ... and we're going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. We love our farmers. The farmers like me ... $12 billion"

I've had these little skulls I made floating around my house for at least a year, without knowing what the heck to do with them.
Last night, I decided I'll drill a hole for an eyepin, and turn them into Christmas ornaments.
