@paulmelis @grrlscientist she did rankle Dr Demento with a question about 'taco', a term which I'd sadly already forgotten.

A White House press briefing witnessed a tense exchange when CNBC's Megan Cassella questioned President Trump about the 'Taco trade,' a Wall Street term suggesting he often retreats from tariff threats. Trump, visibly annoyed, denied the claim, referencing reduced tariffs on Chinese goods. The 'Taco trade' describes Trump's pattern of tariff threats followed by policy reversals, impacting market rallies.

That conversation never happened. We shouldnt go on that level and spread fake news ourselves.
@grrlscientist
Sadly, this journalist push back on Trump is fake.

The guy himself is a fake! And so fakes about him contain a deeper truth!
I prefer "conman", but yeah
... And so fakes about him contain a deeper truth!
Yes, he was raised to cheat from a young age. He knows nothing else.
Yes
And raised in the bizarre "power of positive thinking" which encourages living in a fantasy world
(Which works great if you're rich, or beautiful, and people are trying to get on your good side bc they want something from you)
@grrlscientist "Hat CNBC-Korrespondentin Megan Cassella Präsident Trump während einer Pressekonferenz gesagt: "Sir, Sie sind der Präsident, nicht Gott? Dafür gibt es keine Beweise: Keine Nachrichtenartikel erwähnen das Zitat und auch die eigene Website von CNBC nicht. Laut einem Posten von Cassella auf X befindet sie sich seit dem 19. September 2025 im Mutterschaftsurlaub."

Did CNBC correspondent Megan Cassella tell President Trump "Sir, you are the president, not God" during a press briefing? There is no evidence for that: No news articles make any mention of the quote and neither does CNBC's own website....
What? Is this a fake?
You made me smile and then broke my heart without buying me a drink or anything in between.
