The monologue was followed by Cabinet members taking turns to suck up to the president.

Anyone surprised?

      I’ll pull from whatever bigotry I damned well wish when it comes to Trump. His age is the least factor with him, his very existence is a prime example of why duels should be fully legal with no way of backing out past a certain wealth bracket.

    This kinda confirms some opinions I have about MAGA women. They are chosen maybe not for looks only, but it’s definitely a factor. Like waitresses.

    Also, the Daily Beast seems to be the most suitable outlet for summing up Trump speeches these days.

    And he offered an awkward explanation of artificial intelligence as he lauded his wife, Melania, for announcing Tuesday a new AI initiative for children.

    “This is the new internet, the new computer, the new television, the new everything all put together in one,” he said.

    (…)

    “The line is that I’m a dictator, but I stop crime,” he said. “So a lot of people say, ‘You know, if that’s the case, I’d rather have a dictator.’ But I’m not a dictator. I just know how to stop crime.”

    Trump held up an image of a data center being built by Zuckerberg’s Meta company, superimposed over Manhattan, to show its size.

    “These are big things,” he said. “And they’re going up, a lot of them, are going up now. I don’t know that big.

      I swear to god he’s gotten dumber since the first term.

      Did he hit his head during that assassination stunt? Is his brain 90% Alzheimer’s plaque? He’s never had coherent sentences, but he used to ramble for ages, now it’s just one liners.

        He’s never had coherent sentences, but he used to ramble for ages, now it’s just one liners.

        If you look at old interviews from the '80s, he had reasonably coherent sentences back then. They were idiotic hot takes, but nevertheless reasonably coherent.

        Point being, even the “used to ramble for ages” stage was noticeable progression of decline.

    I’m generally annoyed the headline is the least important part of the whole ramble.

    Also:

    "Trump’s Cabinet couldn’t get enough of their leader. Each member took turns to outdo one another with compliments.

    Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer took the prize, proudly boasting of unfurling a massive banner on the side of her department’s headquarters featuring the president’s face.

    “Mr. President,” she fawned. “I invite you to see your big, beautiful face on a banner in front of the Department of Labor, because you are really the transformational president of the American worker.”

    We’re in a real good time and place right now aren’t we…
