This is what it looks like when the
president is unwell. You will notice
real contrasts to prior presidents, both
Democrats and Republicans. This near
psychotic break took place on social
media. It included messages posted
overnight and very early this morning.
Let's get right into it because there is
a lot of consequence here. Donald Trump
starting quote, "The actual numbers that
we would have to pay back if for any
reason the Supreme Court were to rule
against the USA on tariffs would be many
hundreds of billions of dollars. And
that doesn't include the amount of
payback that countries and companies
would require for the investments they
are making on building plants,
factories, and equipment for the purpose
of being able to avoid the payment of
tariffs." Blah blah blah. I won't even
read the entire thing to you, but what
the president here is arguing is that it
would be really complicated to fix his
total screw up of blanket tariffs on
everything and everyone. And so the
Supreme Court should just forget about
what the law is, forget about
interpreting the Constitution and the
presidential powers, and just say
everything Trump did is fine. Because at
the end of the day, it would be really
inconvenient to have to change anything
and give the tariff money back. Not a
very convincing argument for keeping
tariffs if they are otherwise
unconstitutional or exceed the power of
the presidency. Not a great argument,
but maybe it's the best one that Donald
Trump has. Trump continuing in another
post. Effective immediately, any country
doing business with the Islamic Republic
of Iran will pay a tariff of 25% on any
and all business being done with the
United States of America. This order is
final and conclusive. Thank you for your
attention to this matter. What I love
about this is even with executive
orders, Trump seems to think that an
executive order is a law. An executive
order is sort of a note from the boss
which tells someone to do something and
what you're asking them to do might be
legal legal or it might not be. It might
be doable or it might not be. But this
is not even an executive order. This is
just a post to truth social. And Trump
seems to think that by saying this order
is final and conclusive, it just makes
it so. Now, of course, Donald Trump has
a mechanism for putting a 25% tariff on
uh anybody, I guess, doing business with
Iran. We could discuss the politics of
whether that's a good idea, who that who
that really hurts. If the Supreme Court
is sort of looking at the
constitutionality of it, but the idea
that the line, the order is final and
conclusive. It's sort of like if I am
here and I go, I declare and then I
think that that has any value. Listen, I
said I declared it. I I don't know what
else I could really do. childish.
Childish in every way. Then, and Trump
is just racking up the L's here on the
topic of congestion pricing in
Manhattan. Donald Trump says, quote,
"Congestion pricing in Manhattan is a
disaster for New York. It's got to be
ended immediately. It's never worked
before and it will never work now. I
love New York and hate to see it being
destroyed so rapidly with such obviously
foolish policy." You know, I um I kind
of like the congestion pricing, I have
to tell you. But but David, it's more
expensive to drive into lower Manhattan.
Yeah, I know. And so fewer people are
doing it. It It's so funny. Most of the
time that I'm in lower Manhattan, I've
taken the subway because it is actually
faster and more convenient. However, uh
if I need to be down there and having
the car is more convenient, I think it's
like seven bucks or something like that.
And because the congestion pricing has
dissuaded a lot of people from driving
their cars into that area, just the
other day I parked near the uh the stock
exchange area, which is part it's it's
part of the um congestion pricing area.
There was no traffic. It was a time
where in the past there would be a ton
of traffic. I just drove right to the
garage that I needed. I needed to bring
some stuff. and that I I think that it's
been a great success both because I'm
personally benefiting from the
convenience of fewer cars when I need to
be down there with a car. Uh but also
from a pollution standpoint, it is
keeping a bunch of cars out of lower
Manhattan. By what nature, by what uh
metric Trump says it has failed, I don't
really know. Okay, Trump then unleashing
on Biden. It just every single one of
these posts, Trump is just wrong about
everything he's saying. Quote, "Under
sleepy Joe Biden and the radical left
Democrats, the average American
household's monthly utility bills went
up massively over 30%. I never want
Americans to pay higher electricity
bills because of data centers.
Therefore, my administration is working
with major American technology companies
to secure their commitment to the
American people, and we will have much
to announce in the coming weeks." Okay.
And then he goes and he mentions a bunch
of different companies. Couple thoughts
on this. Number one, electricity is up
under Trump more than 10%. And so the
idea that rising utility rates were only
a problem under Biden, it's happening
under Trump as well. But maybe more
importantly, a lot of people have jumped
on this whole data center, electricity
use, um AI, water use, and and all of
this different stuff. These things are
concerns, but you also need to think
about them in context. Like just as an
example, the AI water use one. I just
read a very good study, mostly debunking
it. Like yes, there is some water use
associated with AI, but it's quite
modest really, particularly compared to
all of the other uh sources of of water
use. And it's like Trump just hears a
little kernel of something and then is
like, I don't know, that sounds pretty
good. And then finally, just hours ago,
Donald Trump unleashing on Minnesota
where he says, quote, "Do the people of
Minnesota really want to live in a
community in which there are thousands
of already convicted murderers, drug
dealers, and addicts, rapists, violent
released and escaped prisoners,
dangerous people from foreign mental
institutions and insane asylums, and
other deadly criminals too dangerous to
even mention. All the patriots of ICE
want to do is remove them from your
neighborhood and send them back to the
prisons and mental institutions from
where they came. Most in foreign
countries who illegally entered the USA
through Sleepy Joe's horrible open
border policy. Okay. And then he goes on
and on and on. And he closes with, "Fear
not, great people of Minnesota. The day
of reckoning and retribution is coming.
As usual, total confusion about what
this is really about. First of all, ICE
would only have jurisdiction with regard
to undocumented immigrants and arguably
in cases where they are trying to
denaturalize or whatever. The vast
majority of convicted individuals
anywhere are not undocumented
immigrants. They are just naturalborn
Americans which are outside of the
mandate and scope of ICE. And it's funny
how of course motans want to live in
peace, but the vast majority of the
chaos is being caused by ICE and by the
raids. Think about the level of
uncertainty that is being brought to the
streets by the very presence of Donald
Trump's Icecoon. So Trump could turn
that off overnight and it would all of a
sudden be a much better environment for
motans. The guy doesn't know what's
going on. He is desperate. He is
cornered and he is grasping at straws.
Scams and identity theft rarely start

link into Incogn, their team will work
to get it removed. That level of
coverage really matters. Even a single

harassment, identity theft. Incogn's
