The woman who asked Trump the child care question was not one of the people clapping at his response:

Today I asked @realDonaldTrump what he would do to solve the child care crisis. His response? Incomprehensible at best; at worst, outrageously offensive to the millions of families drowning in costs.

I hope the dam has finally broken and that the term "sanewashing" will catch on too describe the way the media has been sanitizing Trump's words for way to long:

This "sanewashing" of Trump's statements isn't just poor journalism; it's a form of misinformation that poses a threat to democracy. By continually reframing Trump's incoherent and often dangerous rhetoric as conventional political discourse, major news outlets are failing in their duty to inform the public and are instead providing cover for increasingly erratic behavior from a former"and potentially future"president.

The consequences of this journalistic malpractice extend far beyond misleading headlines. By laundering Trump's words in this fashion, the media is actively participating in the erosion of our shared reality. When major news outlets consistently present a polished version of Trump's statements, they create an alternate narrative that exists alongside the unfiltered truth available on social media and in unedited footage.

Why Trump's Hannibal Lecter "weave" makes no sense at all:

Trump: When I say Doctor Hannibal Lecter, the press says, oh, why did he mention that? They say, he rambled and started talking about Hannibal Lecter. That's a representative of people that are coming into our country. Doctor Hannibal Lecter

He could have chosen any fictional character to represent migrants to America. And his view is that the average migrant is a highly intelligent, cultured, cannibalistic serial killer with refined tastes and impeccable manners.

This is serious and funny and definitely worth a watch:

There is a TikTok account for a group called TrumpWords where children quote Trump in videos and the group asks on its site; would you choose Trump as a role model for your kids?
