The mistakes are never in my favor.

It's always, oh, wait, didn't you check in a day?

No, I didn't check in on Wednesday.

I checked in on Thursday.

Oh, it says here you had six ginger ales.

No, I didn't touch them.

There's never a mistake where they forget to charge you.

And every single mistake in his state of the, I mean, the lying has gotten so out of control that it's been normalized, that it's been, okay, we've just given up on fact-checking and the North Korean or the Soviet Politburo or Duma here will just stand.

I mean, the thing that it reminded me of

is in North Korea and in Iraq under Hussein, when they'd have these meetings or State of the Unions, you got the very real sense that if they were not seen jumping up and applauding, there was a chance they might be strapped to a cannon and executed the next day.

And that's not much of an exaggeration.

That's how it felt.

It's like, okay, I don't care if you're Republican or not.

You're smart people.

You can do math.

They didn't bring $18 trillion back to the U.S.

in new investment.
