Know what the odds are that he could say the right thing?

Know what he didn’t say anything about? The bomb that went off in a major American city. No statement, no tweet.
Did Joe mention anything about the Critical Race theory trial?
Yes, this is whataboutism, because you and I can both agree with your first point and move past it.

The problem is Trump did make a statement about Nashville that very morning. It's Jon's own confirmation bias.

Sure but the overall point I think is sound. Trump's decisions on what he's going to mention on the Twitters and what he's not is embarrassing.
My point is that there can be worse things than having a petulant child in the White House. The Nashville bombing is a national event that affects nearly no one in a personal way.

Yes, the point is sound, without question.
The point is that you can say whatever you want about Mr. Trump and it becomes truth.
Go ahead, try it.
Say he didn't do something, anything.
Someone will chime in, agreeing that he is a petulant child because of something you made up.
Really.

It's a shame that we are living in a time when the Left/democrats are finally beginning to realize their goal of total control and the end of our constitution. It's a shame the average democrat out there only get to see what THE PARTY allows them to see. If we still lived in a free country where information is not censored maybe they would have seen some of the numerous positive things Trump has said and done recently.
But here we are, on a roller coaster ride into totalitarianism, and the TDS sufferers are just happy to be going on a trip.

That is EXACTLY what they do.

He's the greatest President since Lincoln.

This recent one stuck out to me as being exemplary for how Trump accumulates
knowledgeconfirmation bias.Fixed it for you.
True, but that's not my main point. Many people suffer from confirmation bias. You can also exhibit confirmation bias in the selection of reputable sources. But a pervasive theme in his communication is this folksy "many friends told me" thing. The thing his friends/military men/aliens/... told him is always of course supporting what he said all along, but my point is that he's seemingly deliberately avoiding any source of information that tries to provide more than anecdotal evidence for something, i.e., something that is based on an acknowledged corpus of data or comes from a reputable source (such as: a collection of experts in a field). Maybe that's part of his anti-elitism shtick?

It's so obviously TDS.

At the end of the day, he's right. She has a good sense of fashion and elegance, moreso than her husband. In fact, not since Jackie has the White House seen such a sense of style.
First Ladies and the Christmas season usually generate multiple stories and mag covers. Ms. Trump, not as much.

A cover story typically goes with an interview. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a Melania interview in any context.
Also, fashion magazines are not a government-sanctioned meritocracy or something. Do the readers of high-fashion magazines want Melania Trump stories?
The bigger problem here is that Trump is a man-child.
-
Yes, of course that is the bigger problem
The man-child thing
He is a man-child
That is how he built his business, by being a man-child
That is how he became president of the United States, he is a man-child
That is all he is, a man-child
That is the problem, the man-child

So being POTUS and having money absolve you of character flaws, or mean you can’t have character flaws?
Trump is a whiny, small man. Having money doesn’t change that.
