Respectfully disagree. He's never read it (he can't) and doesn't understand the fundamental concepts it espouses. Trump's "reality" is only that which he fabricates in his own head. It's a key component of his sociopathy.

The only logical takeaway is that the Trump admin doesn't want foreign visitors.

RubeAmerica doesn't understand this, but Europeans absolutely do: There's no reason to vacation in the U.S. if it's not the most convenient / economical option. There are far better places to travel.

Similarly, the U.S. turkey flock size of ~195 million is the lowest in 40 years.

The people who grow livestock in this country have been getting out of the business. The only solution, from a price perspective, is importing.

January '24 U.S. beef cow herd size was ~28 million, the lowest number since 1960.

There are multiple inputs responsible for the decline.

No. This is Opportunity.

I've long said, every registered Democrat should buy a gun. Even if they lock it away with no intent of ever touching it after the original purchase.

A seismic shift in ownership stats will cause massive disruption to the GOP.

"Snitching apps like NextDoor"?

Seriously? The only thing I ever see on that app is "Whose cat is this?" and "Where can I find someone to clean my gutters?"

Oh, and of course there's the ever popular, "DID YOU HEAR THAT?? ARE THOSE GUNSHOTS???"

I'm old and in the right situation they're great. For example, after getting off a boat in Marseille after a week sailing the Med soaked in your own flop sweat and entirely unable to stand another sleepless, sweltering night and all you want is a bed and a shower before your flight.

Like that. 😉

There's a meme that's been going around for a while, now, which purports to show the millions of dollars in hush money that Trump has paid to girls and boys. I'm sure you've seen it.

There's no factual support for it and pointing that out throws people into a rage.

Facts matter.
