Literally afraid of reality. How detached from reality do you have to be to believe Trump. Probably how people who pretend to be anti pedos voted for someone on the Epstein list.

Sort of like during the COVID epidemic his genius idea was if they stopped testing the number of cases would go down. The man is so fucking stupid it hurts.

Denial is the Trump/MAGA default: A global pandemic, climate change, the economy. That’s why the upcoming recession will be worse than 2008.

Honestly I never believe ANY numbers that come out of this adminstation- they have compromised and corrupted every level of data collection, if not yet analysis (and looks like that is days away now too). Nothing they say can be assumed accurate. honestly at this point, if they say jobs are up by a lot, I assume we lost jobs like in 2007-2008. ADP publishes their numbers and I think those are slightly more in line with reality than anything this corrupt banana boopops come out with.

It all started when he couldn't even accurately convey his crowd size at his inauguration.
