We monitor the news closely and endlessly hash over events here. A lot of people, maybe even most people, don’t do that, to any degree. We are outside the norm. I had a “discussion” with a guy who said both parties are crooked, corrupt, and basically the same. “All politicians, Democrat or Republican, are full of shit”. However, this guy did see a difference between Trump and Biden. He thought Trump was crooked but good for his wallet, and Biden was a decent person but senile and incompetent. He thought the Democrats made a mistake with Harris because she was a minority woman, and people wouldn’t vote for her on that alone. He knew what a tariff was–that it’s a tax that would raise consumer prices. He consumed a variety of news sources and was usually aware of the breaking stories. But. Me: So, who are you voting for? Him: I don’t vote. There’s no point. My vote doesn’t matter. I’m not sure what’s worse–ignorance or apathy. ---

Trump doubles and triples down on his stupidity. Tim Miller of _The Bulwark_ take on it: [Trump MELTS DOWN in His Most Humiliating Interview Ever](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCxNzFfX8Z8) Most humiliating? That’s a tall order. In this case, Trump is too stupid to be humiliated. There was a picture put out several days ago of tattoos on the hand of the Maryland guy that was shipped to the prison in El Salvador. The tattoos were like a pot leaf, smilely-type face, cross, and skull. It was supposed to be code for “MS 13”: marijuana for “M”, smilely for “S”, cross for “1”, and apparently the skull had three dots–the eye and nose holes that stood for “3”. “M”, “S”, “1”, and “3” were added to the photo of the knuckles above each tattoo, probably using PhotoShop. Trump apparently thinks these Photoshopped letters and numbers are the guy’s actual tattoos and was quite insistent on it, even when the interviewer wanted to gently move along. This article shows Trump with the tattoo photo: [Trump tells ABC interviewer he has ‘never heard of him’ in testy White House exchange](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-terry-moran-abc-interview-b2741936.html) > The pair [clashed a number of times during the interview,](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-tariffs-abc-interview-china-b2741930.html) notably over a discussion of deported [El Salvador](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/el-salvador) native and Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and evidence — or lack thereof — that he was a member of the [MS-13](https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/ms-13) gang. > > Trump pointed to an image of Abrego Garcia that [he claimed showed him with gang tattoos on his knuckles](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-kilmar-abrego-garcia-hand-b2735920.html). The image, however, shared by the president previously, has been sharply challenged – with critics claiming the [photo had been digitally altered](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-kilmar-abrego-garcia-hand-b2735920.html). > > “Wait a minute, wait a minute. He had MS-13 on his knuckles,” Trump replied. Moran tried several times to move the interview on to the next topic, to no avail. “It says MS 13,” Trump said. > > “That was Photoshopped,” Moran replied, provoking a bemused response from the president. > … > When Moran tried once again to move the interview along, Trump challenged him again. > > “Do you want me to show you the picture?” he said, to which Moran replied: “I saw the picture.” > > It could be “interpreted that way … I want to turn to Ukraine,” Moran added. > > “No, no, no, no,” Trump persisted. “He had MS, as clear as you can be, not interpreted … This is why people no longer believe the news.” > > The letters “MS” have not previously been seen on photos of Abrego Garcia’s hands. I’ve recently seen pictures in the news of actual gang members with “MS 13” tattooed on their bodies in huge letters and numbers. They’re not shy about it and are not using coded tattoos on their fingers. I knew Trump was incredibly stupid, but this level of dumb-assery is impressive. ---

This is what happens when you create the most impervious personal bubble to ever exist. He’s surrounded himself with Yes Men 24/7 for practically his entire life. He seems quite incapable of understanding that other people can disagree with him. Not being attacked, not even necessarily being challenged. Just disagreement. It’s like it trips something in what passes for his brain. The idea that somebody could tell him no, or that he’s wrong about something is such a rare event in his life that he literally doesn’t know how to deal with it. It’s narcissism, combined with the Dunning-Kruger effect writ large. If these polls that are coming out continue to show him losing massive support even among people who voted for him last year? If they continue on this trend? I would look for him to start lashing out even more as unthinkable as that may be given everything that’s already happened in just three months. The next 4 years are going to be hell regardless of what happens next. ---

The US President is a 100% certified dipshit and the whiniest adult toddler I’ve ever seen. I’m guessing he believes that shopped photo he was so proudly displaying was real. Trump pushes more fake news than any other (they’re eating the cats and dogs) and then turns around and cries fake news for any that challenge him. ---

Another video recapping Trump’s idiocy over the MS-13 tattoos (Brian Tyler Cohen): [“It was photoshopped!” Trump falls for BLATANT conspiracy ON AIR](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qimD-eLV7c) The video has longer clips of Trump insisting the “MS 13” on the photo are real tattoos. Maybe the real reason Trump wants to take over Greenland is so he can launch an attack on the North Pole and proactively capture Santa Claus for not paying the import tariffs next Christmas. That’s how stupid Trump comes across as. And that is saying something. ---

That sums up Trump’s entire persona now. “In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.” – George Orwell ---

I saw that Truth Social post on one of the cable news shows. The hosts were trying to figure out what Trump meant by “overhang”. Was Trump trying to say the stock market was suffering from a Biden “hangover”? Don’t worry, Dopers. The markets are coming back bigger and better than ever before once Trump fixes all of Biden’s disastrous mistakes by implementing his tariffs and getting all that foreign money paid into the Treasury!
