"The latest from the White House Dementia Care Unit is that they have told Trump he is designing a 'battleship' for the Navy to use that will have all the fanciest weapons, weapons that don’t even exist yet, weapons that are invisible. The Trump 'battleship' will look just like his ballroom, and will never be built."

"Toria Sheffield of People magazine reports that at this weekend’s Turning Point USA AmericaFest, Fox News Channel host Jesse Watters told the audience that the ballroom President Donald J. Trump wants to build next to the White House is 'four times the size of the White House.' According to Watters, Trump told him: 'Jesse, it’s a monument. I’m building a monument to myself because no one else will.'”

"Make no mistake: Trump wasn’t president because of his policies, his qualifications, or even primarily because of his base. He was president because America’s wealthiest class funded his rise, protected his power, and enabled his worst instincts, at least so long as he delivered the goods."

Carol Quillen, #NationalTrust’s CEO said she did not have a “hard objection” to a #WhiteHouse #ballroom — so long as its size, materials & design were consistent with the White House & did not overshadow the main building. It is the National Trust’s job, she said, to preserve #Americanhistory, particularly at the White House, given the building’s iconic status & central role. She noted that the org has also brought legal challenges to past admins’ construction projects.

"Which is amazing when he himself is plating everything he can in the White House in gold and building a 200, you know, actually it's now 300 or 400 million dollar glorious ballroom. And at the same time, lecturing people that they've never had it better. I don't think any of that seems to be working."

"The highlights from that speech are just... I mean, he's telling people you're doing better than you've ever done. Again, going back to you don't need 37 dolls, you know, two or three are nice. You know, school kids, children just need a few pencils, not a whole box of them."

"Same dollar. Five commitments. Zero proof. Zero possibility. ...
The 'tariff shelf' is a prop. Trillions are fiction. Promises are illusions."

"On paper, at least. Tariff revenue has been promised to reduce the national debt. It’s been pledged for rebate checks. It’s been earmarked to bail out farmers harmed by trade disruptions. It’s been floated as funding for childcare programs. And in moments of rhetorical enthusiasm, it’s even been suggested as a substitute for federal income taxes altogether."

"We are now deep into the era of what Trump calls the tariff shelf. You’ve heard about it. It’s apparently stocked with trillions upon trillions of dollars—so many, in fact, that the number changes depending on who’s holding the microphone. ...
The administration has already spent the money it insists is sitting on that imaginary shelf."

"If you really, truly, deeply believed that Trump would lower prices quickly? I’m sorry. You’re an idiot."
~ Michael Tomasky
The truth is, it never was about the economy for a majority of Trump voters. Truth is, they knew exactly whom and what they were voting for. "The economy" was just a specious excuse. The racism and heterosexist male entitlement and immigrant bashing: that's what they wanted.

"His poll numbers have dipped as Americans conclude that he cares too much about gilded ballrooms and is not focused nearly enough on bringing down high prices. And dread has crept into the West Wing now that Trump faces a rare rebuke from fellow Republicans, including some who have been among his most loyal MAGA foot soldiers."

"Epstein returns at the worst time for Trump. ...
Trump’s party got wiped out in last week’s elections as voters assigned it the greater portion of blame for the shutdown. The Supreme Court seems set to unravel his signature tariffs."
