The news, apparently spooked by yesterday’s eclipse, went into hiding, so the media, as always, fell back on Trump. After a big buildup teasing his position on abortion – can you name another candidate who, eight years after entering the White House, still hadn’t formulated one? – only to chicken out and say the decision should rest with the states. Maybe that’s why his makeup is that weird orange color – the foundation is a wide yellow streak.
Another Trump story with legs: the continuing decline of his Truth Social scamstock, which keeps shedding value the way Donnie Two Scoops is shedding pounds on his new Ozempic diet.
Even grafted apples fall close to the tree, as the New York Times found when it stopped concern-trolling trans people long enough to look into Jared Kushner’s shady business dealings with foreigners. It’s not as if it hasn’t been going on for years, NYT. Nice of you to finally notice.
The floor’s yours.
