Which is hilarious because CNBC reported all day that "Microsoft and ByteDance had an agreement in place until Trump decided to open his mouth."

Microsoft's Steve Ballmer had to personally reach out to Trump to tell him to shut up and back the fu** off (but politely while stroking Trump's ego) to let Ballmer get this deal done.

Also, if Trump wants the US to get a cut out of helping people conduct business, he might want to read into what a corporate tax is supposed to fucking do.

Didn’t Balmer retire from Microsoft in 2014?
 
Here's why John Lewis skipped the inauguration (and also mentioning he skipped 2001 as well, but had seemed to forget that when making his statement).

Gotta tip my cap to Trump, for not knowing people, he certainly can hold a grudge against those same people for years...

(Also, I'd like to point out there are articles dedicated to how Lewis forgot about the 2001 skip, and question his ability to be a leader based on that. Yet the GOP continues to "Weekend at Bernie's" Trump in public...)
 
Just 11 minutes into the Axios interview, and... woooooooooowwwwwwwwwww.

This interview is amazing. Jonathan Swan hit a grand slam.

It's a great interview. I'm not sure how Swan is able to cut through Dump's bullsh-t but he is. All that's left underneath is Dump's incapacity.

Jonathan Swan, a reporter for Axios, has revealed the magic words that expose President Donald Trump's lies for what they are.

Who?
What?
How?
No.

In an interview that aired Monday night on "Axios on HBO," Swan demolished some of Trump's most dishonest talking points with a powerful tactic that has rarely been used by the people Trump has allowed to interview him:

Basic follow-up questions.

i wonder if part of that is the time crunch that most reporters have. In a press briefing, they can't really follow up (unless the news outlets work together). And, even if they do team up, the shotgun method of scattering so many things that could be questioned, it's difficult to cherry pick. Unless you can sit one-on-one for an hour plus with Trump like Swan or Wallace, then you can nail a few topics.

A 2L law student could skewer dump on cross. He's the dream witness: dishonest, too lazy to prepare, and stupid.

According to the report, in 2014, the Obama Administration signed a contract with Philips to add 10,000 ventilators to the nation’s stockpile by June 2019. Though Philips delayed the fulfillment until November 2019, had they been held to that deadline, the nation would have had plenty of ventilators for when the coronavirus epidemic started in March 2020.

However, the Trump Administration granted Philips three extensions.

“On January 21, 2020, when the first coronavirus case was reported in the United States,” the report states, “Philips approached the Trump Administration about accelerating the delivery of ventilators under its existing contract. The Trump Administration ignored this opportunity, and for six weeks, it did not respond to Philips’ offer.”

When Peter Navarro — Assistant to the President, Director of Trade and Manufacturing Policy — and other senior officials in the White House negotiated a new contract with Philips, they ended up scrapping the Obama-era terms and agreed to pay almost five-times the price set under those terms.

While Philips had sold ventilators to other purchasers for prices as low as $9,327 per unit, the Trump Administration ended up paying $50,000 per unit.
