Trump has this to say:

VOTER I.D. JUST APPROVED IN WISCONSIN ELECTION. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT. This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT. IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!

Sounds like Trump has plans to make sure people like Susan Crawford don't get elected in the future.

Fox News removes their Dow ticker as stocks crater from Trump's new tariffs

Donald Trump has posted a response to the matter on Truth Social.

I think it’s going very well—The MARKETS are going to BOOM…

He elaborated further with this:

I think it's going very well. It was an operation, like when a patient gets operated on, and uh, it's a big thing. I said this would exactly be the way it is. Uh, we have 6 or 7 trillion dollars coming into our country, and uh, we've never seen anything like it. Uh, the markets are gonna boom, the stocks're gonna boom, the country's gonna boom, and the rest of the world wants to see: Is there any way they can make a deal? They've taken away advantage of us for many many years. For many years, we've been at the wrong side of the ball, and I'll tell you what: I think it's gonna be unbelievable. The thing that people have to talk about - we're up to almost 7 trillion dollars of investment coming into our country, and uh, you'll see how it's gonna turn out. Our country's gonna boom.

Trump is one of those people who thinks that saying it enough will make it true.

"Okay, girlie. No sudden moves or I'm putting one in your gut. If you scream, my cop buddies around the corner will be all over you."

"But I'm being nice. If you stay quiet and come with me, I'll smooth things over with the force. We won't have to break all of your bones before letting you go."

"Now get over here. I'm going to take you somewhere special. You'll love it."

Trump says things are 'going very well' after worst stock market drop in years over tariffs

The full quote, if anyone's interested:

Uh, we have 6 or 7 trillion dollars coming into our country, and uh, we’ve never seen anything like it.

House Republicans block Democratic maneuver to force release of Epstein files

Do not fear, pilgrim. I shall enlighten you on the ways of our LORD.

You see, the LORD knows that his agents require compensation for their holy work. Therefore, God proactively created children to serve his most worthy agents, and thus, serve the LORD! It would be an honor to be chosen for such a holy task.

The Republicans understand Epstein's holy mission, and wish to see it upheld. Such is why Epstein was smited by the hand of God when he turned his back on God's light. No treason shall be tolerated in the eyes of the LORD.

It is the Devil who wants such children freed from their duty. To distract such children from their holy task exudes the grave sin of sloth. We must stand firm against such demonic influence if God's Plan is to succeed.

Please be aware that I am roleplaying as a evangelical whackjob in this comment. Sometimes obviously fake comments are taken as truth.

Doing a good job is also self-defeating.

Managers want to see you grow every year. If you do your best early on in your career, you will hurt your ability to show growth that's visible to management. Therefore, the optimal solution is to do a better job by a barely perceptible amount every year, staying under your maximum quality output until you're retired/dead.
