Look how young the children were when they would send them deep into the pasta mines. Back then, they didn’t even use proper ventilation. They would frequently end up with gluten lung.

He spent a lot of his presidency watching Fox News and ignoring his briefings. Staff figured out pretty quickly that he likes pictures and compliments and tried to use those to help him get through minutes of material.

In Albany, Georgia on July 20th, 2023, the relative humidity at 94 F was 54%. As someone who's experienced dry heat vs humidity, I wanted to offer that context. Sweating just doesn't cool you down as the humidity rises.

Imagine for a moment that you are president of the United States and you are given an intelligence briefing with information that is vital to an allied nation's safety. Under no circumstances are you to share this information with anyone. You are then in a candid two-hour conversation with a jovial diplomat from a nation hostile to that other nation. If you didn't keep your wits about you, you might accidentally discuss the secret information.

Donald Trump is not a man who has ever had his wits about him.
