Really sad nobody around Trump cares enough to get that intervention underway.
But, then, he only cares about himself so why should they care about him?

Krugman fires back at the brain dead rapist who bankrupted multiple casinos.

Being a completely self-unaware pile of s^%# who's convinced they're a gift to the world who rails against their betters is peak MAGA.

"What's Moore's problem? I don't know and I don't care. The interesting question is why someone so incompetent " apparently he can't even copy numbers correctly " has consistently failed upward.

Trump even tried to put him on the Federal Reserve Board in 2019, and might have succeeded if Moore hadn't also turned out to be a grotesque misogynist and a deadbeat dad who had been held in contempt for failure to pay child support."

Typical Trump, 'only the best people pick'.

Also:

"What's wrong with this picture? First, look at the chart. The second line claims that it shows "medium income" " a term unknown to economics. Clearly it was supposed to say median income. OK, speling misteaks hapen. But not, usually, in charts prepared for a presentation by the President of the United States."

And:

"I don't mean that Moore is extremely right-wing, although of course he is. I don't even mean that he's a dishonest hack, although again of course he is. I mean that even among dishonest right-wing hacks Moore stands out for his pathological inability to get numbers and facts right."

Trump is a pedophile, in addition to being a traitor, rapist, and racist

... Trump Rages at Nobel-Winning 'Bum' ...

My guess is that Pres Trump may be jealous that he has not yet earned a Nobel.
