The fact-check is here; I did not read this one. I read the first two. The article summary of the interview is a 27 ish minute read.
For this post we will be using the transcript…
Economy:
I’m gonna use images for the Q&A’s I share; never fear I can’t post it all. The questions asked are in bold. President Shitshow’s “answers” are not in bold.
“They think what I’m doing is exactly right”…

Trump Meets His Match: The Markets (gift link–04/23/2025):
The president is also hearing regularly from executives concerned about how his trade policies are affecting their bottom lines. On Monday, Trump met with top executives at the country’s biggest retailers, including Target, Walmart and Home Depot. They delivered a stark warning to the president that tariffs could scramble supply chains and raise prices, according to people familiar with the discussion.
Trump Meets His Match: The Markets (gift link–04/23/2025).
Asked about Ron Vara aka Peter Navarro’s “90 deals in 90 days” comment, he said “there are many deals”…
I can’t stress enough just how little this man knows about anything, but specifically, the economy.
“The biggest department store”…
We import more goods in most cases than we export, making us the “shopper” not the retail store.
Immigration
I highlighted “And in fact, he had a tattooed right on his–I’m sure you saw that–he had it tattooed right on his knuckles MS-13″…
Does he mean the symbols?
Does he think the image given to him by Nazi Miller (that’s an assumption) has not be doctored in any way???
This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such “a fine and innocent person.” They said he is not a member of MS-13, even though he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles, and two Highly Respected Courts found… pic.twitter.com/31sNr2k1SK

In other immigration news…
Developing story: A state judge in Wisconsin was arrested Friday by federal agents after an investigation into whether she obstructed an immigration arrest. Her first federal court appearance as a defendant is happening now.https://t.co/mbYYyfIayt

The article is paywalled, but I shared the tweet because she was the only one that said the Judge would appear in court today, that appeared in my feed.
I have since googled.
Apparently, our FBI Director Kash Patel sent out a tweet that he immediately deleted announcing the arrest of the Wisconsin Judge…

In more news; The admin has reversed another horrible policy decision.
NEWS: After canceling thousands of foreign students' immigration records — threatening their ability to study and live in the US — the Trump administration has reversed course and restored them all.

It follows intense pushback from courts across the country.

Whatabout Biden…
So far, Trump has spoken about Biden, his family or his administration at least 580 times either in public remarks or on his social media site, an NBC News analysis shows. That’s an average of six times every day of his presidency.https://t.co/UB18pk2mZK

We are gonna wrap there for a little celebration…
I totally missed wishing all Blenders or their family, friends, a Happy Birthday for April in the Owl!
April happens to be my birth month, I turned 51, my dad, last Friday, turned 82, and today, my daughter turns 25.
This is a reminder that joy is a form of resistance.
