Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.
Probably a good time for Democrats to point out Trump has never once pumped his own gas in his whole life. He has almost no idea how much gas costs or how it impacts normal people's budgets.
He is endangering everyone

The unusual Earth-sky collaboration was witnessed in March of 2017 in Iceland.
Cosmically, there is something very darkly funny about spending an entire decade of American politics obsessed with repudiating the mistakes of the Iraq War, and then immediately doing it again at the first opportunity, but with even less justification, planning, strategy, or foresight.

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know?
But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.
This is the best press ballet and opera has gotten in America in years
Walk into a sandwich shop. It’s regulated for health and safety.
But AI, which will transform the world economically and socially, is completely unregulated. That’s insane.
We need to make certain that AI works for ALL humanity, not just the billionaires who own it.

If you think the civil rights movement went too far, but you're someone who doesn't need a movement to ensure rights, then we do not have to listen to you
He is so cruel, so dangerous, so arrogant and proud of his own ignorance and his own credulity.
And when you hand it to him about some stupid little saber-rattling on sugar, you're showing your own goddamned priors.
