That first line had me laughing: "working hard".

Also ... why! are! they! written! like! this! 🤔

They ... do though 🤔

What Donald also left out was those restrictions on the export of rare earths were In *response* to his import taxes. They had a card and played it.

Then Donald offered to reduce the import taxes.

So China paused the restrictions for a year.

Art of the deal 🤦‍♂️

That seems to match the stats (they haven't been updated because of Donald's government shutdown). Not all the total will be Donald's import taxes, so it would be whatever percentage it is.

Not quite $2tn 🤔

There's that, and the fact the number keeps changing. Sometimes it's $17tn. Other days it goes up to $18tn. Today it's $20tn.

Those are clues the number is fictional.

Yep, that's not new. For some reason people don't mind and elected him anyway. This is from October 2024:

Revolutionary idea. Give that man a trillion dollars.

Even Dr Evil only asked for a hundred billion dollars.

Spoiler alert: they won't

Spares him having to say don't know, never heard that, didn't see it, on my "to do" list ...

For example:

But it *was* working. See: recent election results.
November 10, 2025 at 2:00 PM
Yep. It's a signal for 2028. Help him stay in power and you don't have to worry about any consequences.

The pardons are primarily symbolic: No one on the list has been charged with federal crimes, and Trump can't pardon those facing state charges in GA, AZ, NV and WI.

But it's another effort by Trump to recast the history of his bid to seize a second term in 2020. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Donald signalling that if you help him stay in power, he will protect you. Seems bad for 2028.

This is why it was so important some charges were brought by the states. Donald can't do anything about those.

The fact President Biden beat him still being stuck in his head years later is delightful.

But it's both funny and scary to watch Donald's decline happen in real-time. Continuing to use "sleepy" is a ... choice 😴

The outcome of that vote can already be guessed. They will do as Donald says.

If that's all that's in the deal, nothing has been achieved. But guess we'll see.

Yep. Recall Judge Immergut concluded that his description of "War ravaged Portland" was: "simply untethered to the facts".

Or that "Biden clones doubles & robotic engineered soulless mindless entities are what you see" post he shared.

He's got three more years ... and will get much worse.

I've only seen Gov. Newsom making good use of this stuff, Hopefully the rest will too.
