References:
814. Dr Oz: “Turns out that about one-third of families don’t have the number of babies they desire. They’re under-babied. So this president committed to address that during the campaign and he’s delivering on that today.”

815. RFK Jr: “Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren’t having children.”

816. Trump: “We are working on beef. I think we have a deal on beef that’s gonna bring the price of beef. That would be the one product that we would say is a little bit higher than we’d want it. Maybe higher than we want it. And that’s gonna be coming down pretty soon too. We did something, we worked our magic.”

817. (Via Threads) “Donald Trump is so weak he had to sit down during his press conference today. There’s obviously something wrong. We deserve to know what it is.”

818. Trump: “I did insulin. I got it down to like $25. I got it way down. What was it before that? It was massive. I watched this Biden taking credit for something I did.”

819. Trump: “Drug prices went down for the year by 1/8 of 1 percent. Now I’m getting them down, Maria, 500, 600, 800 percent. In some cases even more than that. It’s hard to believe.”

820. Dr Oz: “You’ll notice, President Trump, these are discounted from $242 to $10. I don’t know what the math is on that. We can’t even calculate it. It’s too high to calculate.”

821. Bartiromo: If you put that 100% tariff on top of what’s in place already, you’d have a 157% tariff on China. What is that gonna do to the economy?
Trump: It’s not sustainable, but that’s what the number is. It’s probably not. You know, it could stand. But they forced me to do that.

822. Headline: What to know about the indictment of former Trump national security adviser John Bolton (CNN)

823. Mike Johnson: “Let me say this right now though, Jake. Rep. Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don’t know what she’s doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents.” (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. yet because Johnson refuses to swear her in)
 
As of the close of the day on October 17, my positive/negative score on the Trump administration stands at -1,596.

References:
824. Trump: “I think the Democrats are mentally damaged. They want to take $1.5t and give it to people that invaded our country. They came into our country illegally from prisons, mental institutions, gang members. They want to give them healthcare and take it away from our citizens.”

825. Trump: “The shutdown continues. The Republican Party is not going to pay $1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants… coming in from prisons… from Venezuela—many countries. It’s a Democrat shutdown.”

826. Trump: “The meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine was very interesting, and cordial, but I told him, as I likewise strongly suggested to President Putin, that it is time to stop the killing, and make a DEAL! Enough blood has been shed, with property lines being defined by War and Guts. They should stop where they are. Let both claim Victory, let History decide! No more shooting, no more Death, no more vast and unsustainable sums of money spent. This is a War that would have never started if I were President. Thousands of people being slaughtered each and every week NO MORE, GO HOME TO YOUR FAMILIES IN PEACE!”

827. Trump: “In the meantime I have to run the USA, but I love solving wars. You know why? I like stopping people from being killed. And I’ve saved millions and millions of lives.”

828. Trump: “A senator wanted, from Hawaii, she wanted a tunnel from the mainland to Hawaii. Then she said, we can’t do that, so we’re gonna build a railroad to Hawaii. You remember? She’s a sitting senator, a Democrat. She wants a railroad to Hawaii. You know who that is, right?”

829. Trump: “Hungary is in a very interesting position because they can’t have ports. You know, they’re surrounded by land. So we’ll see what happens there.”

830. Mike Johnson: “I would say to Rep, Grijalva, you can serve your constituents right now. You have an office. They keep going by and knocking on the door and pretending it’s lock. If it’s locked, it’s because she’s choosing to not to represent her constituents.”

831. Mike Johnson: “We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You’re gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party. That’s where they’ve gone. The Hate America Rally is the common theme among all those groups.”

832. Mike Johnson: “It turns out the “Hate America” Rallies tomorrow are being funded by the billionaire who hates America the MOST. Anyone surprised?”

833. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz is sounding the alarm to FOX News, saying: “This politicized march is being organized by Soros operatives and funded by Soros money. The Trump administration and the Republican Congress are committed to countering this network of left-wing violence.”

834. Leavitt: “If you look at what happened under the Biden administration, real Americans were facing an increase in wait times at hospitals because they were being put last in line and illegal aliens getting that care first.”

835. Sen Warren: “Price increases for “things” under Donald Trump: Coffee is up 26%. Baby strollers are up 25%. Beef is up 14%. School supplies are up 7%. Electricity is up 5%. Car prices are at a RECORD high. And thanks to Republicans in Congress, health insurance premiums are about to DOUBLE.”

I think "wrong" is probably excessively polite in this situation.
 
An in-depth look at Dr Gartner's current assessment of the deteriorating mental status of Trump:
Long interview but well worth watching. [You'll probably need to rewind it.]

In summary Trump is deteriorating rapidly, he probably had a stroke, and he is following in the steps of Hitler because Hitler like Trump had a serious case of malignant narcissim.

Allegedly

On a related note, it's very questionable whether anyone really knows what the Trump Administration is spending, including the Trump Administration. The numerous kinds of financial chaos that Trump and co have engaged in, from refusing to spend funds that they are legally mandated to spend in a specific way to the mass personnel changes that are largely firings and often expensive rehirings to their active obfuscation and lies gives real cause for suspicion on that front. It's actually plausible that they "found" $31 billion and that the finders weren't incompetent, but the only reason that it would have been lost in the first place is Trump's chaos and sabotage. That $31 billion could also have been "lost" by a Trump minion who was intending to try to embezzle it, of course, but failed this time. As for the whole tariff shelf thing, that sounds more like humoring an unreasonable old man, provided it wasn't made up wholesale.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the main reason for all this chaos is that TACOs minions are using it as cover for massive fraud. And TACO knows nothing about it, just like when millions were stolen out if his 2016 election campaign fund.

But that can't be true, we know the Republics have been accusing the Democrats of that, are you really trying to say that the Republicans are doing what they are accusing the Democrats of doing?
