Hello and Happy Wednesday!

And Happy 101 Days of Trump!

Yesterday marked 100 days of Trump 2.0 and so far it’s been a hoot.

It’s hard to imagine the alternative universe where Trump lost the election and we were deprived of moments like this:

And in these past 100 days we’ve heard barely a peep from his 2024 opponent Kamala Harris… until now.

Kamala has emerged from her wine cave to speak to night at the Emerge 20th Anniversary Gala tonight in San Francisco. You could watch her in person for $250… or if you’re feeling good about Trump’s economy there’s also a $50,000 option. (Surely the Democrats will pin that $49,750 markup on Trump’s tariffs.)

We think it’s a bit overpriced, even at $25 for the virtual ticket, just to hear Kamala verbally unburden us by what has been.

Speaking of has-been, the White House Correspondents’ Dinner happened this weekend and you probably would have had no idea it even happened if not for the endless coverage of journalists applauding themselves and handing out awards for their coverage (more like non-coverage) of Joe Biden’s decline.

You don’t have to be blind as a journalist in the Biden era to see that journalists completely ignored the obvious decline of Joe Biden. They wrote off his failing abilities as propaganda and cheap fakes until the moment it was no longer convenient to do so.

This astute newsletter publication, however, kept its trifocals on the whole time and reported diligently about all of Joe Biden’s declines (both mentally and gravitationally).
