Trump, tariffs, and lies.
"Mate, if any of those numbers were true, you know, we could all be on yachts right now. It'd be terrific. I don't know why the bloke doesn't just say eleventy gajillion and get on with it. When you're making numbers up, just be transparent about it."

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats.
Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Sometimes the historical dictionary offers solace through the existence of an obsolete word that is sorely needed now. One of them is ‘respair’, recorded just once, in the 15th century. It means fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.

Why?
In part, because the destruction of USAID has made it near impossible to distribute the food.
Calculations suggest that it could have fed every starving child in Gaza for a week.
And roughly a million dollars up in smoke — due to DOGE.

Why are people trying to negotiate with a senile old man who doesn't remember what he said 5 minutes ago?
You simply cannot make a "deal" with somebody who changes their mind on a whim, and doesn't respect any deal he has ever made.
Time to cut them off.
