Dear Yadda,
many blessings.
Your posts are so long that I doubt anyone reads them -
make them short and punchy.

It's not that nobody read his posts, although I shouldn't pretend to speak for the entire audience.
I read what he wrote, and it's pure spin. Just more cope from a MAGA supporter struggling to keep the faith and "trust the plan".
That's probably why nobody else has bothered to reply. To call that interview a "masterclass" means Yadda has already made the conscious choice to discard reality in favour of whatever narrative flatters his worldview.
There's no point engaging with that. He'll simply ignore anything that isn't uncritically positive about Trump's interview, regardless of how substantive or well sourced the critique is.
To his credit, he's not quite as childish or abusive as some in that cohort when challenged. I'll give him that much.
Take Trump's comments about Europe. He described European countries as "decaying", labelled their leaders "weak", and claimed many won't be "viable" if current migration trends continue.
Putting aside the obvious racist dogwhistling baked into that framing, has he actually looked at what's happening in the US under Trump, right now? Talk about "not viable". Trump is bailing out American farmers, again, because of his tariffs, again.
Inflation is up, layoffs are up, affordability from basic supplies to vital services, housing etc, all more expensive, and all of it is because of Trump's policies.
He's hiding the employment numbers, the GDP figures, and the inflation data. And we all know he only buries information when it makes him look bad, just like his tax returns, just like his school grades, just like the Epstein files.
If it was good he's be releasing it, just like he did the footage of the Navy blowing up the boats, inadvertantly opening the door to the investigation uncovering his war crimes, all because he wanted to boast he'd done something good.
So clearly, the numbers he's hiding are terrible.
His praise for hard line leaders like Viktor Orbán on immigration is another tell. Trump actively endorses illiberal, ultranationalist styles of governance, which signals a foreign policy that prioritises power, exclusion and ethnic hierarchy over alliances of democracies. It's the exact opposite of the values that the so called "leader of the free world" is supposed to represent.
He claimed Europe "talks but doesn't produce", and suggested that Russia has "the upper hand" in Ukraine. Then he added the absurd notion that Ukraine should hold elections immediately, despite the obvious reality that democracies normally delay elections during full scale war.
That sort of rhetoric undermines support for a sovereign nation fighting for survival, and broadcasts to the world that Trump is happy to toss aside democratic norms whenever it suits his personal or political convenience.
As for his "A plus plus plus" fantasy about the US economy, it's not even worth unpacking. It's self promoting nonsense from someone who relies on ignorance to survive politically.
If anything was a "masterclass", it was a lesson in telling MAGA exactly what they want to hear, no matter how detached from reality it is. On that narrow metric, sure, he excelled. But it was all bullshit, lies and fabrications.
It still astounds me how completely MAGA have abandoned the idea of "facts over feelings". They cling to whatever lie makes them feel like they're winning, regardless of what is actually happening in the real world.
When you face off against that, there's no changing minds, there's no spirited debate. It's best to leave those lunatics alone in their echo chambers, which I suspect is why most have been smarter than me and just ignored this thread.
