On a semi related note - I'm wondering if since Trump feels he made Juneteenth very famous, does he feel Hitler made Jews very famous too?
Even FOX is pointing out how fucked in the head he is.
“I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous,” Trump said in the interview. “It’s actually an important event, an important time. But nobody had ever heard of it.”
The not so crazy (since we are talking about Trump) thing is that the fuckwad had no idea "The White House" had put out "statements" in the past regarding Juneteenth.
Not only was Trump clueless ― so were his staffers, even though the White House has commemorated the day every year since Trump took office. Here’s the Journal’s retelling of that portion of the interview:
Mr. Trump said he polled many people around him, none of whom had heard of Juneteenth. Mr. Trump paused the interview to ask an aide if she had heard of Juneteenth, and she pointed out that the White House had issued a statement last year commemorating the day. Mr. Trump’s White House has put out statements on Juneteenth during each of his first three years.
“Oh really? We put out a statement? The Trump White House put out a statement?” Mr. Trump said. “Ok, ok. Good.”
Set aside the legal issues here. Someone will have to explain to me, like I’m five years old, how taking money from appropriated funds and distributing the money as tax cuts will stop inflation and reduce the deficit.
So pathetic. Pathetic. Hard to imagine, 'am I trippin'?, that we had enough Americans who were so profoundly ignorant as to let this pos grifter become our president. smfh

That last one is frightening.
I can't stand the new re-popularization of socialism and communism.
But this is straight up Nazi shit. Unless he misspoke, given that he did first give the context of immigration.

"Socialism", much like "George Soros", is the shapeshifting Swiss Army Knife of terms for patriotic fascists and Christo-fascists, going back decades. It's always there in the drawer ready to be pulled out and screamed whenever it's time to ramp up the hateful, us-against-them rhetoric, to gin-up and get the adrenalin flowing in the white nationalist cultists.
“Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.”

Those American social programs reviled as socialist are why China's economy is crashing--they have no equivalent. Especially FDIC
