Trump seems to have a very 'eccentricæ level of knowledge about the world; him yesterday: "I have a lot of golf courses all over the place. I know more about grass than any human being, I think, anywhere in the world." * https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-grass-dc-photo-op-b2812223.html https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politic...

>Also, coïncidentally, the first batch of Epstein files are heading over to Congress today: Is anyone else surprised that, Trump being Trump, anything and everything related to Epstein hasn't already been burned in a big dumpster and deleted from all of the databases? Like, unless these files are specifically crafted around a narrative to indict Trump's enemies and exonerate him, I would have expected some kind of Stalin-esque historywashing to have taken place by now, beyond Trump just awkwardly insisting they don't exist and Epstein doesn't matter.
