but it is nevertheless special. Because why would it hang in Trump's office? It does fail to mention tariffs.

Well, there was the part about "cutting off our trade with parts of the world" and "imposing taxes without our consent."

So much accomplished!

Institutionalized anti-science quackery in our health institutions.
Trump’s campaign promise to let anti-vaccine conspiracy loon Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “go wild” on health was bad enough; at the time, I thought he would make RFK Jr. a “health czar” because I could not imagine that the Senate, even Republican-dominated, would ever confirm this man as the head of an actual federal agency. Now, after putting on a mainstream act during the confirmation hearings, our new secretary of health and human services is launching a study that he pledges will get to the bottom of the autism “epidemic” by September—under the leadership of vaccine skeptic David Geier, a vaccine skeptic with a history of dubious practices. While RFK Jr. has grudgingly endorsed the measles vaccine in response to a
multistate outbreak, he has also continued to make ill-informed statements that cast doubt on its effectiveness. The HHS secretary spreading dangerous medical misinformation is something that even most of us folks with Trump Derangement Syndrome would not have predicted.

An administration staffed by a rogues’ gallery of conspiracy theorists, fanatical Trump loyalists, extremists, and “anti-establishment” contrarians.
Trump critics were certainly concerned about this prospect, but the extent of the insane clown show is still appalling. Tulsi Gabbard—whose past flirtations with the Syrian and Russian regimes would have once made it difficult for her to get a security clearance—as director of national intelligence? Kash Patel, the man with fantasies of vendettas against Trump foes, as FBI director? Far-right podcaster and January 6th conspiracy theorist Dan Bongino as FBI deputy director? Ed Martin, a frequent guest on Russia’s RT and Sputnik propaganda outlets, as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia and Trump’s pick to fill that role full-time? Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News personality with a trail of Christian nationalist, Trump-worshipping writings as well as a history of alcoholism, extramarital affairs, and alleged abusive behavior toward women, as secretary of defense? Who, prior to the election, could have imagined a scandal around the SecDef discussing sensitive military information in Signal chats from a phone number that is apparently all over the internet?

WASHINGTON—Acknowledging that his tariff hikes could result in a frozen supply chain this holiday season, President Donald Trump claimed Friday that any toy shortages Americans experienced could be easily overcome by making the family’s servants dance for their children’s enjoyment. “Maybe instead of 30 dolls this Christmas, children play with the life-size human figurines they already have,” said the commander-in-chief, noting that when he and his siblings were growing up, they often kept themselves entertained with nothing more than a couple of old, beat-up chambermaids whom they berated into acting foolish for their amusement. “Why do children even need dolls when they can play dress-up with the undocumented help, make the day laborers kiss—whatever fun act of humiliation they can imagine.
