Donald Duck is the master of Old School Professional Wrestling, while I'm teaching AI how to fool even the Supreme Court and Microsoft. They think they're sooooo smart, and they can't even teach a computer jokes.
Bartiromo was goofy during that interview, more so than her usual goofy self. When Trump told her that he told the leader of China that he had just bombed Syria while they were eating the chocolate ckae, Bartiroma became giddy like a little child and asked Trump, "What did he say?!" That's when Trump told her that the leader of China asked his interpreter to repeat what Trump had just said.

Trump has capitalized off the economic uncertainty and helplessness that his supporters feel. Trump has melded it with scapegoating that blames it on immigrants and other groups he doesn't like. He has stooped to selling trading cards of him looking like Superman, golden sneakers for $400 that included a promo in Philadelphia to try to attract support from urban African-Americans, and bottles of Trump perfume. Conspiracy theories in United States politics - Wikipedia excerpt: "The class structure is also likely to influence one's belief in a political conspiracy theory. Those with a low income, a lack of higher education, or a lack of secure employment are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories due to a general feeling of helplessness.[8][16] This lack of control is correlated with class: individuals from higher classes have been proven to feel more in control of their lives, employment, education, and standard of living.[8][16] A low socioeconomic status can generate political and economic anxiety and a desire to explain the dire circumstances. That helplessness may lead several to find a psychologically-soothing explanation: the idea that a group of government actors is plotting against them.[8]"
Donald Duck hasn't done a damn thing republicans haven't been doing since the Civil War. You would think after 200 years of Americans stomping on their own constitution, rigging elections, and grabbing that cash with both hands, people would just accept it as the norm.
Conspiracy theories in United States politics - Wikipedia excerpt: "Conspiracy theories often arise during new political or social circumstances in which one group of people feels threatened by another group that is politically, religiously, ethnically, racially, or economically different from them.[1][8][9][4] Theories began as early as the European colonization of the Americas when colonizers deemed Native Americans as threats.[10] As a result, many colonizers, including Cotton Mather, speculated that Native Americans were controlled by the devil.[1] Some even believed in the "myth of the super-chief," in which every Indigenous attack was orchestrated by a tribal chief, who controlled thousands of Native American fighters and strived to wipe out the whites.[1]"
One might think that Native Americans had a more legitimate fear of European newcomers to their land than the other way around. Yet one group that massacres another group portrays itself as the victim. Trump is using the ploy to defend his rioters as victims and heroes. Putin is using the ploy to defend his invasion of Ukraine.
SC man pleads guilty to assaulting police at Capitol riot. https://www.thestate.com/news/local/crime/article289271795.html excerpt: "The maximum penalty for interfering with a police officer in this case is eight years in prison and a fine of $250,000, according to court records.

Pelosi is calling for an 'intervention' to stop Trump. Various interventions or attempted interventions to remove Trump have occurred. A call to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him just after the Capitol riot never materialized. Impeachment and removal from office was tried twice and it failed. State and federal criminal cases that could place him in prison have stalled in the courts. Attempts to run other candidates against him in the 2024 GOP primaries failed. The only approach that worked was the 2020 election when the voters ousted Trump from the White House. Nancy Pelosi calls on Donald Trump's family to stage intervention
Justice Thomas’s R.V. Loan Was Forgiven, Senate Inquiry Finds excerpt: "The documents he volunteered indicate that, at the very least, Justice Thomas appears to have flouted an ethics rule requiring that he include any “discharge of indebtedness” as income on required annual financial disclosure reports. In addition, the Internal Revenue Service treats debt forgiveness as income to the borrower. Senator Ron Wyden, the Oregon Democrat who leads the Senate Finance Committee, called on Justice Thomas to “inform the committee exactly how much loan was forgiven and whether he properly reported the loan forgiveness on his tax return and paid all taxes owed.”"

Trump has failed to pay Steele the $380,000 that the U.K. high court ordered in February 2024. Trump has a golf course in Scotland which is part of the U.K. Trump is also a convicted felon which has implications for him traveling to Scotland. Trump has suffered a string of legal losses in cases he has filed against Steele, the Orbis business, Clinton, and U.S. federal officials that were doomed from the start.

This was given to Steele in February."
