"America Worst"

In a devastating interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Trump tells MAGA voters they're talentless and stupid.

Move over, Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Another famous Trump-loving conservative woman is demanding her chance to expose Dear Leader's failure to fulfill the campaign promises he made to MAGA voters and his lack of interest in the kitchen-table concerns of all Americans.

In a devastating new interview on Fox News, Laura Ingraham opened up more cracks in Trump's spray-tanned facade than a Meet the Press sit-down with Kristen Welker or a selectively edited interview on the new Bari Weiss-era 60 Minutes ever could.

Trump treated Ingraham to a cringe-inducing tour of a White House that looks increasingly like a heavily signposted nursing home designed to ease the anxieties of a dementia patient.

But it was the interview itself that caused the real MAGA meltdown, as Trump slammed American workers as talentless and American consumers as idiots for believing that "affordability" was a problem, even as he admitted his own tariffs had sent some prices surging.

On friendly Fox News turf, a relaxed and unfiltered Trump let it slip that his view is not "America First," it's "America Worst"

As CNN's Brian Stelter noted, "Laura Ingraham challenged Trump in a way few Fox hosts ever do."

Here are 7 moments that highlight how deranged and out of touch America's mentally feeble Crypto-Grifter-in-Chief has become:

1. Trump admitted his tariffs drive up prices: Asked to explain why grocery prices were still going up, Trump said it was only beef being "a little high because the ranchers are doing great." But Ingraham interjected: "Coffee." Trump said the answer to that was: "We're going to lower some tariffs. We're going to have some coffee come in." The Irish Star declared Trump's admission that his tariffs raise prices, "a shock U-turn."
2. Trump said consumers were being "conned" into believing tariffs drive up prices: Proving yet again, that the J is for "Jeanius," DJT insisted that despite his own admission that Trump tariffs are sending prices higher, America's whole affordability crisis was a "con job by the Democrats."
3. Trump said America's got no talent: Asked to explain his support for H-1B visas for foreign workers, the conversation went like this: TRUMP: You have to bring in talent. INGRAHAM: Well, we have plenty of talented people in America. TRUMP: No you don't. No. INGRAHAM: We don't have talented people here? TRUMP: No. The MAGA outrage was so loud that Marjorie Taylor Greene entered the chat, tweeting: "I believe in the American people. I am one of you. I believe you are good, talented, creative, intelligent, hard working, and want to achieve."
4. Trump defended his plan to welcome "hundreds of thousands" of new Chinese students: Foreign workers may no longer be needed on American farms or in our meatpacking plants, but Trump is hoping to attract hundreds of thousands of new Chinese students to America. He brushed aside Ingraham's concerns that they would take potential spots from American kids and that Chinese students “spy on us” and “steal our intellectual property,” provoking more outrage among conservatives and MAGA world.
5. Trump said France was as big a threat to America as China is: Continuing on his recurring theme that the only way to prove you are not a threat to America is to give Trump a lot of money, Trump insisted to Fox News viewers that France was just as bad as China, maybe worse.
6. Trump thought standard mortgages were for 40 years: Ingraham also challenged Trump on his widely ridiculed plan to "solve" the housing crisis with 50-year mortgages. Trump insisted it was no big deal really, moving from 40-year to 50-year mortgages. Ingraham had to point out that 40-year mortgages aren't a thing. Ninety percent of US mortgages are for 30 years.
7. Trump revealed he still had no plan for healthcare: Challenged by Ingraham to explain his "concepts of a plan" to solve America's healthcare crisis, Trump doubled down on his ridiculous scheme to turn Obamacare into "Trumpcare" by sending subsidies to individual consumers. The scheme would encourage "junk plans" that ultimately crash the ACA marketplaces, cause people to abandon preventive care and maternity screenings, and once again leave Americans exposed to the catastrophic financial damage caused by "unfortunate health events."

The list could go on.

In talking about China's control of the market for "rare earth elements," Trump mansplained confidently, "nobody knows what a magnet is."

More than simply sounding silly, statements like this indicate that important geopolitical topics now need to be explained to Trump in language that a five-year-old could understand.

For those who've chosen to ignore all the warning signs of the past many years, Trump's interview showcased just how bad things can get when stupidity meets dementia.

Less than a year into his second term, it's a reminder of the dangers that lie ahead as Trump's "big brain" continues to shrink and disintegrate.
