You paid for that gold, suckers! [View all]

Yesterday at that "batshit" presser, trump also said this about the Oval Office: "You see the way this is looking. I can't tell you how much that gold costs. A lot of money. This beautiful office needed it."

As Timothy Burke said on bluesky: "we really do need to figure out how this guy managed to create an environment where he can say he wasted an amount of taxpayer dollars so large he can't even tell you how much it was" and it doesn't cause immediate national outrage."

And this was in addition to threatening to send the military to Chicago and other American cities. NYT, do you have any opinions on his state of mind or fitness for office? Just curious.
