(Note that the issues discussed are the same ones we’re dealing with todayplus ca change.) That was a joke. So is this: In remarks at the Conservative Political Action Conference, Kennedy claimed Trump has “encyclopedic, molecular knowledge” across a “wide range of very, very eclectic interests” before recalling a time the two dined on McDonald’s aboard his plane during the 2024 campaign.
“We started talking about Syria and he got a placemat and he turned it on its back and then he took a Sharpie and drew a perfect map of the Mid East,” said Kennedy of Trump, who claimed that he “never wrote a picture” in his life last year while denying that he gave a racy 2003 birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein. Kennedy continued, “Then he put the troop strength of every country on every border on that map. It challenged a lot of the assumptions that I had been told about him.” Does anyone think he wouldn’t have demonstrated this skill in public before now? Seriously? Not to mention it’s clear from what he says that he knows fuck-all about the world. It’s as ridiculous as that sketch which was done before anyone knew he had Alzheimer’s. Politicians always lie to some extent (they call it spin) but the rampant lying by our government officials we see today is unprecedented. It’s as if they’re living in an alternate universe.
