It is the voices from his past coming out of his mouth. Parents, siblings, teachers, friends, calling him dumb, low IQ, a disgrace, a disaster, loser, etc. All the garbage that should have come out in therapy is now being spewed to the world from the White House.

I can almost picture him breaking down in public someday, "Mommy, why didn't you love me?"

he hates himself and women.

I wish all the Reporters would stop when he did this and just start chanting RUDE RUDE RUDE in unison and see what he does.

They always just move onto their own questions and Trump just ignores the ones he doesn't want.

They are just feeding his beastly ego every time they gather around him, every time he bullies them.

Any thing he says cannot be trusted. It is all lies, deceptions, distractions, and bullshit. There is no news here other than his displays of assholery that would get any other human fired.

Letting him parade his ugly stupid ass in public is a form of elder abuse by his handlers and his family. They hate his guts, so they let him wreck himself diving into the empty reflecting pool from the highest platform in what was once a great nation. They are pure evil: full of bigotry, bile, and greed; thus, they also don't give any fucks over what he does to the nation or the world as his "presidency" bellyflops flat onto the unforgiving concrete pavement of reality.

As a life long criminal who knows that his time is running out breathing or in power or that ecological
collapse is on its way and he sees his Fuhur Bunker as his last redoubt. Peter Thiel, Musk, Putin,
Zuckerberg, and other oligarchs have built bunkers for themselves too.

What (apart from maybe her being a woman) invoked the "you dumb person" insult?

I know "we obviously need that" is a lie, but it doesn't even sound like she was calling him out on that, from intonation.

Who established the budget? Is it 400 milion? If it's under budget why is the Senate appropriating 1 billion?

He doesn't know the specifics of any of it, except what type of marble he picked.

When it comes to trump, there is no budget. He spends what he wants to spend, without pre-determination and without limit. The "budget" is whatever he says it is on any given day.

Were we all so fortunate. (sigh)
