Trump: "I just want to ask -- are the Saudis impressed by the fact that a family has saved $5,000? They're looking like, 'What they hell is $5,000?' Their shoes cost them more than $5,000. But that's the way it goes. We're talking about the real world."

4. A reminder that shared hatreds are his primary bond with his base

He knows nothing of the stuff of their lives nor does he care. And they don’t either, consumed as they are by darkness.

5. At this point, I'm more interested in what seditious organizations he's speaking to.

6. What Families Saved 5 Grand?

Tax rates on working people weren't reduced enough to save a family 5 thousand dollars.
The 10%, 12%, 15%, 20%, & 22% are the same as they were before.
The income allowance only went up 2.8%
So, on $150,000 they are paying taxes on about $850 less income.
22% of that is only $188 a year.
And with inflation at 3% (or worse), who saved $5,000?
It's nit only bizarre to bring in the Saudis, but the statement itself is rooted in fantasy.
