It’s grade 3 schoolyard level. Which admittedly is a step up from Trump’s usual grade 2 bullying garbage.

Hmmm, as opposed to the Republican-led House that she’s part of? How many bills have these subject matter experts passed?

Umm, maybe you didn’t notice Vivek but y’all did, Project 2025, and Trump pretended he didn’t know y’all. There is no ‘’‘’‘vision’‘’‘’.

MAGATs insist there is “context” in the previous five minutes that makes this quote completely sensible and reasonable.

It struck me as a bit odd, since I assume that anyone who did read the surrounding speech would find nothing that changes what that quote sounds like, and immediately see that they’re lying, and anyone who just takes their word is one of them anyway. So what’s the point?

Really, apart from money what’s the point? She’s not going to tell any secrets, and she hasn’t really done anything as First Lady. So where’s the draw? I’ll be curious to see how much of the profits go to Trump’s campaign funds.
