A brilliant essay on Trump's stupidity: "Trump is stupid, there's little doubt about that . He doesn't play the naive, he doesn't disguise himself as a complete idiot, he's not a holy fool."
PLEASE, @SZ, translate this for Americans who need to read it.

Der Spiegel assigned its fabled fact-checking department to investigate Charlie Kirk's statements. His views "meet core criteria for classification as right-wing extremist."
PLEASE, Der Spiegel, translate this for US journalists.

Politische Ansichten des ermordeten Aktivisten: Darum bezeichnet der SPIEGEL Charlie Kirk als rechtsextrem

Er war einer der einflussreichsten Aktivisten der USA und ein Parteigänger Donald Trumps. Manche Medien nennen Charlie Kirk »konservativ«, anderen gilt er als »ultrarechts«. Der SPIEGEL hat Kirks Ansichten untersucht.

Watch or listen to the latest Shrinking Trump podcast, where two clinical psychologists finish up with a simple reading of Kirk's verbatim statements to the same effect.
@jeffjarvis to what end? the discourse in the american media is no longer reality based...
@jeffjarvis …and Canadian politicians, please.

@jeffjarvis totally stupid for sure

1. At a time when US debt is at record highs, the US needs the world to trust more in the dollar and stay invested. Trump's policies have achieved the opposite.
2. The population of the US requires immigrants to make it work, not to mention, most immigrants are happy to innovate in the US which gives US the lead in technology and defence. he's turning them away
3. Imposing tariffs only causes inflation in the US since importers pay the tariffs.

Real idiot

@Jeff Jarvis Es gibt die Rampensau und den Strippenzieher: Russell Vought. Wenn Trump gehen sollte, ist Project 2025 noch lange keine Geschichte. Die freiheitliche Demokratie hat diesem Rollkommando zurzeit nichts entgegenzusetzen.
