“This crazy tariff war … like, the fact that nobody is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me, right?" said Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Tex., during a Thursday appearance on MSNBC’s “All In with Chris Hayes.”

“Like, the fact that they sat around, called Joe Biden ‘Sleepy Joe Biden’ … at least you could sleep at night because you didn’t have to worry about your 401(k) disappearing overnight," Crockett told Hayes.

“You didn’t have to worry about the cost of food just skyrocketing or skyrocketing costs of all of your electronics,” she said.

“Like, this is crazy work. For no reason.”

        It was a blatant, childish, obvious shakedown fantasy.

        We all know Trump thinks he’s a Mafia Don. The sad thing is he’s the most powerful person in the world.

        This would be satire in a sane world.

      Well, we keep seeing articles about former blind loyalty voters now regretting their Mad King eliminating their former rock solid Gubmint Jobs.

      They only care when it hurts them, or their family, personally.

      Too late, too bad, so sad.
