My secret hope is that it will turn out that there was extensive polling and focus grouping that shows that in fact this is exactly the kind of thing the American people have been calling for and Trump has been just relentlessly on message in the campaigns closing days
Trump posts strange TikTok about Jon Husted's ass: "He has a great ass. Very powerful ass."

Great moment but also really fucked up that you know your superstar first baseman is going to the Yankees at the pinnacle of his career bc that's how the economics of this work!
“You’re gonna make alot of money…Remember When you were on that horse shit Yankee team. Everyone playing for themselves. Just remember“

This woman was once considered the most important journalist of a generation. I had editors tell me to emulate her.
Internet-culture reporter and influencer @TaylorLorenz does a collab with a male-fertility gummy company, Sperm Worms. “It’s delicious!” Lornenz gushes of the pineapple flavored product. “I’m gonna be so fertile!”

It’s called The Weave, people, and there are English professors who call it the most brilliant thing they’ve ever seen
Trump on Jon Husted: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

"Another theory goes that while voters in the heartland are whipsawed by Trump’s tariffs, the price of diesel, and the ongoing conflict in Iran, New Yorkers are largely shielded from the downdrafts of the Trump economy." nymag.com/intelligencer/arti…
