At his age, and his clear difficulty with something as simple as opening a door, I doubt Trump has hands steady enough to hold the tweezers he’d need to properly satisfy himself. (I suspect even his baby hands are too big for the nubbin.) ---

On a similar note, I’m going to be warning my parents that they had better pay damn close attention to what the Republicans attempt to do with Medicaid. If either or both of them has to go into nursing care, their “plan” (such as it can be called) is to divest of their assets and throw themselves on the mercy of that program. I’m debating on whether to be blunt with them and let them know that I am not shouldering the financial burden for their long-term care based on their decision to burn everything down. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > I guess all of that MAGA crap they’re buying is going to double in price after their Messiah imposes tariffs on Chyna. I’ve seen a tweet a few times today on social media where a woman claims her husband’s company, in MAGA country where she thinks most of the employees are Trump supporters, won’t be giving out end-of-year bonuses because they need to stock up on non-domestically sourced inventory before Trump’s tariffs go into effect next year. Maybe apocryphal, but I could see something like this happening. ---

Found a Reddit thread where people are posting that there are multiple versions of this story. I thought it seemed apocryphal. However, part of the point of the story is that many Trump voters don’t understand how tariffs work. And they don’t understand how tariffs may hurt them–higher costs, less disposable income, and various other downstream effects like US vendors being able to raise their prices and retaliatory tariffs on US exports. I know that part is true. Last week I had to explain to a coworker that a tariff was basically a tax paid by the US importing entity and is certainly passed on to the consumer. This guy had no idea. He really believed Trump had been getting billions from China directly for the Treasury and would do so again.
