A key thing is that it's not focused grouped (good) it's something he internalized from a venture capitalist donor (bad).
Nearly all messaging problems are actually policy and political economy problems.

“Strong floor, no ceiling” is absolutely the type of slogan that a focus group of swing voters will tell you they find appealing after it has been a whole hour and they just want to go home.
It’s a slogan for people convinced this country *really* wants a Mike Bloomberg presidential campaign.

This will probably get me yelled at, because I can see the consensus forming here that "strong floors, no ceiling" is the dumbest of all possible slogans. I would argue that it's actually not that bad, but that it's wrong for this moment (please read 🧵before yelling at me)...

New Yorkers kept telling me the same thing: they’re thinking of leaving because they can’t afford to raise their kids here. Universal childcare isn’t just a promise — it’s how we make this a city for everyone.

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

He scammed over 1,000 people, most of whom were not wealthy - veterans, farmers, teachers, nurses, small businesses owners. Some lost everything. But he’s a rich Republican, so Trump let him get away with it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/29/u...

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.

Most candidates don’t work actual jobs. I do. I’m starting at Cannon Mountain next week for my winter job while running for US Senate. If you want a senator who gets what working people deal with, follow along.

These seems, to me, painfully obvious, and should be the starting point hypothesis for any journalist working the trade policy beat.
You have to look at what Trump is doing in terms of tariffs, not in economic terms, but as a mobster would. He is using the tariffs to grift. He does not care who it hurts or if it makes economic sense. He is a career criminal - a convicted felon - and he will keep grifting until he is stopped.

He was 77 when he wrote it, in good health, sharp, energetic, but he admitted he had to manage his health & energy far differently than he used to, and he said that anyone running for president past 60 needed to have a hard look at themselves.

It's fashionable now to trot out Nixon being ahead of his time on Russia, China, etc - for good & ill I helped start it - but nobody talks about the last chapter of In the Arena, which is pretty much a no-holds-barred attack on elderly politicians who won't get off the stage & go demented in public.

He’s a mass murderer. He carried out these murders in public, gleefully, and has never expressed one iota of remorse. He has taunted people with his crimes while getting indignant over the idea that he’s done anything bad at all. He’s a fucking serial killer and should be treated accordingly
