But the Raw Story is not a parody site like The Onion, is it? He really did say “You know, you win a war, but they have no right to be doing what they’re doing.” and “You need people to watch and people to see. We have other nations coming in”? OK, he does not know what winning a war means. Unfair is one of his catch all words, next he will call the Iranians ugly and stupid. > [@Smapti](#): > > [@atrupar.com on Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3mh6xde2mp42m) > I can’t tell you that.

Today’s Trump press avails are more striking examples of how – as a nation – we seem to be normalizing just how _fucked up_ this guy sounds. He sounds like he was on a two-day, meth-fueled drunk, and his personal physicians have “kept him going for the show.” It’s _really, really_ bad. They think Biden was a “Weekend at Bernie’s?” This guy is orders of magnitude worse. If I didn’t hate his ever-loving guts and think he’s the worst thing – by far – to happen to this world in _my_ lifetime, I’d find him tragic and have sympathy for him. ---

> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > To me, the stupid thing about Trump trying to pin the problems with the renovations of the Federal Reserve Building on Chairman Jerome Powell is why is the Federal Reserve chairman even in charge of this? He’s an economist, not a construction manager. Should not the GSA or some other institution be responsible? Donald was thinking of his own tendency to get involved with the details of anything construction-related. Like many stupid people, Donald assumes that everyone behaves the way he does. I have no doubt that he sincerely believed he could “catch” Powell doing some grifting related to the construction. Which is what he himself does. ---

The best part of Trump’s remarks about Cuba: > [@](#): > > "I think Cuba, in its own way, tourism and everything else, it’s a beautiful island, great weather. They’re not in a hurricane zone, which is nice for a change, you know? They won’t be asking us for money for hurricanes every week. Great news for Cubans, who can ignore [the 30 or so hurricanes that have struck Cuba this century alone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cuba_hurricanes) (in addition to tropical storms), because Trump has placed them outside the hurricane zone. If by some mischance a hurricane willfully disobeys Donald and hits Cuba (new name: Mar-A-Lago South), it’s OK, because relief spending would be amply covered by tariff income - that is, if Cuba would get any relief money in the first place, which it probably wouldn’t be eligible for unless it votes MAGA. ---
