This is possibly the reason the White House stopped posting the transcripts of Trump's remarks. If you read them, you realize very quickly that he is out of his mind.
Here’s another clip of a woman reading Trump’s words verbatim from a recent rally in Mississippi that puts a giant magnifying glass over how gone he is cognitively and unfit he is for office.

People are attacking him but he is absolutely right. If you are following a proper fibre filled non veg diet which is more than rice potatoes dal and one sabzi it does cost this much. If you stuff your face with processed food and fried food everyday then you pay less.
Groceries and food cost ₹60K–₹80K a month for us with 2 adults and 2 young kids, with everything cooked at home and meat twice a week! How is everyone surviving? 😭

There is a scam/fraud going on at T1 @BLRAirport for Airport Taxi. Unsuspecting passengers who are heading towards the Airport Taxi queue are being cleverly side-tracked to non Airport Taxi cars by a group of men who pretend to be helping you. They take you to the extreme front of the queue and then call a car which backs into the queue from the parking. Very unsafe and very risky. Someone needs to assess this situation asap.

This is such a weird timeline.
The ranking members of the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees have written a letter to President Trump asking whether he has been soliciting advice from Grok in order to help carry out his official duties as President of the United States. They also demanded that he preserve any prompts sent to Grok, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, as well as outputs in response to those prompts, that were 'submitted to AI chatbots in carrying out your constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties.' The letter was provided by Politico.

LMAO. I have always wished journalists could just start asking him questions about fake things just to see what nonsense comes out. Like: “Sir, do you you have a reaction to President Almondo of Marzipan's speech this morning attacking the Norwegian Nobel Committee for failing to award you this year’s Peace Prize?”
A reporter just asked Trump about the removal of Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia, but referred to him only as "Lt. Gen. Sylvia." "She’s got problems," Trump said. "She’s gonna have big problems. We’re very much looking for leakers"

I don't know why people are attacking him, eating well in India IS expensive As a family of 2, we eat the following daily to make sure we get enough protein and fibre. It will be easily 50K 4 eggs daily 200 g of meat/chicken/paneer/tofu/seafood 500ml milk 300gm yoghurt/skyr 2 scoops of whey 2-3 times a week 700-800gms of veggies 200-300gm of fruits 50-100gm of lentils handful of nuts and seeds And I am not even counting staples here

Hey @atherenergy! It is impossible for a customer who - owns the phone - owns the vehicle - by extension owns any/all data that is collected from the vehicle and phone that they own. to perform "unauthorized data access". They don't need any authorisation from anyone.
Replying to @praveenpuglia
Hi Praveen! The Ather app asks to disable Developer Options as an added security measure. When these settings are enabled, phone security protocols flag them as a potential risk for unauthorized data access or app tampering. Turning them off ensures your data and connection (1/2)

Bought @heydigit comprehensive insurance for my mom’s Tiago EV. The car was parked when the area flooded with rain. It wasn’t started or charged afterwards, and we had it towed straight from there to the workshop. On inspection, the workshop found water inside the e-drive. It had to be sent to the Tata plant for repair. Digit is now rejecting the e-drive claim. They say it’s “consequential loss” from water ingress and “continued operation,” and that I’d need a Transmission add-on for it to be covered. There was no continued operation. The car was parked, flooded, and towed. Flood is a named, covered peril in the base policy. If water entering a flooded car doesn’t count as flood damage, what does the flood cover actually pay for? We will file a grievance, and go to IRDAI and the Insurance Ombudsman if needed. @irdaindia

@FirstClubIndia what is the point of presenting yourself as mindful and conscious of harm when you’re sending out whitening products as freebies for your new Beauty vertical? Incredibly disappointing and harmful.

“Just don’t touch it” buddy. They’re going to ruin all of Mac OS to make it “touch compatible” this is going to be hell
Why are you people upset there’s a touch screen on a MacBook Pro If you don’t like it don’t touch it. Why are people genuinely upset and against it. This is insane.

WTF is this? I'm a man and even I don't want my number shared with a taxi driver. Why isn't this off by default?
Replying to @sunayanaroy
Just found out today that Namma Yatri automatically enables a setting that shares your phone number with the service driver. You have to go to your settings and manually disable it.
