first place is the mystery.

I didn't watch beyond 1:40 but was struck by this first part. Maybe something in the rest of the video has some explanation for that.

ETA - on economic matters: egg prices are skyrocketing because of bird flu and he isn't doing anything about that. We had a lot of damage from the hurricanes and got approved by FEMA but he's canceling that and canceling emergency funding. He's cancelled Medicaid for my children. That (Medicaid cancellation) has been blocked by the courts, but we still can't access the Medicaid portal. (And much more on non-economic matters as well. This in the 0:20 to 1:40 segment, there might be more)

So it's not just all about not doing anything for the economy, but also about making economic situations worse. But one would have to listen rather than just reading the headline before deciding whether she's right or wrong. Sigh.

The reason Trump can’t tell reality from fantasy is that he has never had to live in reality.
