Remember the opening scenes of the movie "Soylent Green"? The world was overcrowded, pollution made the air thick and hard to breathe. People scrambled desperately for food, especially the Soylent Green wafers. Only the rich had access to real food and nice housing. That will be us.

I saw a video of him with his Saudi host. He was given a small cup of tea (possibly coffee). He did not drink it and set it aside. Very rude. If you don't like it, you take one sip out of respect. I did that with a Muslim family. I hate coffee but drank it and praised its taste. They were proud.

I saw on news last night about a small grocery store that just opened in a food desert neighborhood. They wanted the people to have fresh fruits and vegetables. Already, the wholesale prices are rising because many items are imported. They are afraid they will have to close if the tariffs continue.

DT didn't want the public to know about the coming of Covid and then, when acknowledgement was unavoidable, he discounted the growing numbers, telling people it would go away quickly. Over a million US citizens died because DT didn't want to look bad and dragged his feet on preventative measures.

Interesting. I bought eggs yesterday. They are still $3.99 a dozen in my area. The same price they rose to when the bird flu struck. Grapes are higher, soft drinks in the can are higher, etc. So, the Govt needs to explain in detail just HOW tariffs are making things better.

I am more than certain he is closer to 300 than he is to 224. And him being 6'3"? Nope. No chance. His son is supposed to be 6'6" and he is definately taller than 3" when standing next to his Dad. I would say DT is just slightly above 6'.

I suspect he forgets where his conversation is heading while he is talking. He gets sidetracked by a word and gets stuck on it. In order to cover up that lapse, he fills in with what ever he can pull out of the air. He did that before but it is far worse now that he is older.
