Greetings? Why is grandpa angry? That’s the hilarious tweet Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson posted during Donald Trump’s prime-time bitch-fest last night.  The best thing that can be said about the unhinged POTUS rant was that it lasted only 18 minutes. I was struck by his angry tone and rapid-fire delivery. It was nearly impossible to fully absorb the content. I actually wondered during his presentation if he was medicated. As Rick Wilson joked (I think) in another tweet : “You know, teleprompters have a speed setting. This one is clearly on ‘coke binge.’” Worth noting: In the speech, Trump announced a new government service designed to sell drugs to consumers from Pfizer at discounted prices.  It’s called – naturally – TrumpRx.

Greetings! Donald Trump has one staunch defender of his noxious comments about Rob Reiner: disgraced ex-congressman George Santos. Here’s what the serial liar and convicted conman posted on X.   Lucky for the Looney Tunes Santos, last October Trump pardoned him after he served three months of a seven-year sentence for fraud and identity theft...Olivia who? In one short week, Vanity Fair has flipped the script on its tainted brand identity for platforming the much maligned  and scandal-ridden journo Olivia Nuzzi.  Now the pundit class is praising the Conde Nast outlet for its revealing interview with Trump’s chief of staff Susan Wiles that reveals a dysfunctional White House staff. Worth noting: Check out the two-part article's group photo of The Donald’s senior team and Wiles’ creepy deer-in-the-headlights gaze...Social news: It’s wedding bells for Kyle Rittenhouse! In 2020, when he was 17, Rittenhouse became a right-wing darling after he shot three men, killing two of them, during a BLM demonstration in Kenosha, WI. Rittenhouse, who was acquitted of all charges, got hitched six months ago. PJ Media has the details. More nuptial news: Mazel tov to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump Jr. (Betcha never expected to see those word in the same sentence.)

Worth noting: Ms. Anderson has a degree in art history from that lefty hotbed Columbia University, per this Business Insider profile...Wednesday watch: Trump speaks to the nation tonight at 9 p.m. ET.
