Breaking CNN Trump: "I don't think about Americans' Financial Situation" amid War

Erin Burnett led with this story and said "He really said this! She is making it clear that he is lying and fact checking his lies about the war, inflation, and the ballroom.

She then asked "Well, then what is he thinking about?" before running a lengthy clip of him regaling his new reflecting pool and showing some of his bizarre social media posts, including one of Biden, Pelosi and Obama swimming in sewage.

I'm glad his really bonkers comments are getting some attention on CNN, as well as the extremely bad economic news that inflation is now 3.7%, and incomes are no longer keeping up with inflation.

Any time you think Trump couldn't possibly say the most horrible, nasty shit, he does. And not only that, he somehow manages to say something worse than the thing he said before that.

and I'll say it here: If Dems don't make an ad of him saying this and run it every DAY from now until the midterms they'll deserve to lose. Plain and simple.

7. Glad Erin is making a point of it but it's just the historic and ongoing obvious for Trump so hardly "news".

I think of folks like the farmers and manufacturing workers who at best got no help under Trump 1.0, or got burned, and yet come back and vote for 2.0 somehow expecting a different outcome. Talk about magical and wishful thinking.
