    Right. Because Biden gave all their money to illegal immigrants.

    Oh wait, that was just another Trumpy lie. Maybe they helped eat the dogs or something.

    It's all just another Trumpy cycle of picking a positive American institution to destroy because .... Trump!! ..... and watching his followers gleefully join in. It's a tired and pathetic loop by now.

    I do. Why not, he takes credit for everything else, including actions taken before he was president. This is what he said:

    “Basically, what we’re doing is equalizing. There’s a new word that I came up with, which is probably the best word,” he said.

    Not very ambiguous, really.

    Obviously (to me) Trump was riffing and using the word equalizing in perhaps a novel way to describe an objective he wanted to achieve with tariffs. I guess after what happened in November a lot of Democrats are desperate for any sort of win.

    Why do guys always feel the need to translate for him when he says something dumb? It's like you are his protector or something

    With someone else, I might buy that. Trump, however, is so ignorant and vain, not to mention an absolute pig for adulation and recognition, that I think he meant exactly what he said.

    It seems pretty simple. Trump said he created the word. So:
    He'd really never heard of it and thought he had created it, which indicates an amazing amount of ignorance on his part.
    He knew he hadn't created it, but he lied about a little thing like that to give himself credit for something he didn't do.
    We've all seem more than enough examples of each of those behaviors from him. So not telling which it was this time. Either is clearly possible.

    tip of the iceberg

    Tornado-ravaged voters in MAGA stronghold reveal glaring problem with Trump's 'America First'

    MAGA voters in a tornado-ravaged pocket of Mississippi have turned on Donald Trump after he failed to help them for months after deadly twisters tore up their town.

    Locals in rural Tylertown have said they have felt let down and abandoned by the current administration since the natural disaster caused carnage in March 2025.
    ..........................................
    Several of the red-state residents said they haven't seen a single federal agent in the two months since, despite the widespread carnage.

    'I know President Trump said that "America First, we're gonna help our American folks first," but we haven't seen the federal folks down here,' Tylertown resident Bobby McGinnis told PBS.
