The best part for me was when Tim Scott shook his head in agreement with what Krasnov was saying, just like a parrot does or Pavlov's dog when Krasnov rings the bell.

doing the subservient G.O.P. noddy thing.

but all Jerome Powell had to do was shake his head and put on his reading glasses to outclass that fool. Then--speak truth to power. Powell better stay away from high windows, tRump would love to do a Putin "suicide" on him.

This flyweight has been coddled his whole fucking life. We need a lot more people like Powell, unafraid to make a simple correction and shake off the gaslighting that Dotard uses nonstop to construct his own fantasy world.

Yes Trump lives in a fantasy world and all of his toadies pretend it is real.

and it takes South Park to say the obvious

about a third building done years ago. Not part of the same budget he and his staff were claiming they were over-budget.

Powell is no fool.

TSF didn’t bother to unfold the letter, didn’t bother to look at it again after Powell’s smackdown
Now Scott has a souvenir of TSF’s monumental stupidity. Suitable for framing

Powell had no. time for BS.

And he fucked it all up with a limp delivery against a much smarter opponent.
Never get in a numbers fight with an accomplished lawyer whose whole life has been finance.

A subtle dog whistle to Trump's racist base that black lives don't matter, not even the lives of those who have drunk the koolaid???

They weren't in an area that required hardhats, but wanted to appear "manly" or something. Piss poor planning meant that they only brought two...

Creepy-looking on Martin Sheen in that movie and creepy-looking on Trump in real life.

On Threads today.

* and it's not that he's literally unable to recognize words. Let's be precise in our criticisms. If the issue is with his ability to understand complex information or stay on topic, let's discuss that specifically. It's more productive to address the actual concerns rather than resorting to hyperbole.

Maybe at some elementary school level but his comprehension if for shit!

(And the type is probably quite large.)

Though he undoubtedly has poor reading comprehension, he can read, just not well. In situations like this, the problem could also be his eyesight and the fact that he is too vain to wear reading glasses.

Multiple problems with language. Has some problems with speech, writing and comprehension.
The problem is he is in denial with it as he want.to present himself as above normal when he is not.

You are too kind -

It often seems to me that the only time TACO Donvict doesn't struggle with words is when he is either boasting about himself or ranting about some past or present perceived injustice - his two favorite topics. If he has to speak about something that doesn't interest him, his speaking abilities go all to hell.

when he rattles off the same old boastful crap about himself like a broken record. He has it all memorized so it is no wonder he likes to go off on those rants.

Though I also believe he is reluctant to be seen in public with his reading glasses. Most people his age need reading glasses.

All his issues just get worse as he gets older and we've been able to see that decline on a daily basis since he first ran for office.

.... too many words. Too many letters. It won't fit on a protest sign.

Our message has to be clear, simple and straight forward. "He can't read" is an excellent summary of the situation in the context of the situation.

Nowhere in the OP was there any mention of pithy (albeit false) protest sign verbiage. Good thing those goal posts are lightweight and easy to move, eh?

.... poster. And a poster is much the same as a protester.

Might explain in part his anger and frustration as a young school child.
Hitting and beating up teachers, etc.

On top of being a spoiled, privileged rich kid.
With a conduct disorder.

... especially around the teevee cameras.

I had perfect vision until my early 40's but I must wear reading glasses now to read or focus on just about anything. And I'm younger than Chump by almost 5 years.

he knows how to read, he simply chooses not to because he is uninterested in ANYTHING where he is not the center of attention

That proves absolutely nothing. Trump acted like it verified what he was saying. Any jackass could have written down some numbers on that paper, it does not mean a thing.

people say it proves nothing.

that the reason he liked to bed married women was that it's 'so wrong.' Prob the same w underage.

He's a toddler acting out, constantly. We'll be lucky to make it through.

So he can’t read what he can’t see. I think he probably can read at a 2nd or 3rd grade level, at most. But every 79 year old person needs reading glasses. Most people start needing them in their 40s.

When a vain idiot is also an asshole, usually you get something like a dude selling hot tubs next to the highway. Add money from birth and you get this pudless shitberry.

I wear my contacts when I'm out and about because I'm near sighted (and require them for driving), but I either take them out or use readers inside. He's too vain to do that.

ZERO!

Powell quietly shaking his head no when TACO was lying. The he took the piece of paper and corrected TACO on the age of the building. Very few Republicans have done that publicly in the last 10 years.

Besides, he's got "people to do that'.

...as the kids say. At the very least, Trump probably has dyslexia or some other learning-related issue or disability. This also isn't the first time that he's clearly not aware of what the documents he's handling and signing actually say. I also recall at least one recent signing ceremony where Trump had to be told what the documents were because he either couldn't or wouldn't read them. Worse yet, at this event, Trump was cluelessly signing a huge (oh, sorry...yuge) stack of documents!

he's too vain to wear glasses. So, it's not necessarily a complex cognitive disorder - he can't see what anything says.

He has zero fear of drump

He does seem like the type that would not wear glasses in public.

He’s just too lazy to do much of it.
