His hosts had to keep guiding him like a sheepdog corralling sheep. When Trump finally succumbs to his dementia, the GOP will prop him up like Weekend at Bernie’s and mainstream media will just nod and say nothing.

All Members of Congress must immediately disclose all trades in the market over the last week.
Stocks, bonds, ETFs. All of it.
The Trump-caused market chaos is ripe for abuse. Who knew Trump would cave on tariffs and when?
The public deserves answers.
I oppose trading by Members. Ban it now.
