Open mouth, insert foot. Donald Trump does this routinely but today he really scored a home run, so much so that this clip deserves to be in a Democratic attack ad this fall. If he keeps talking like this there will be more aides besides Karoline Leavitt leaving. They don’t want to try to lie their way out of this.

Do you love it? Trump came right out and said that Wall Street is doing great, which we take to mean that Main Street is not Trump’s concern. Let’s hammer this one home during the lead up to the midterms, shall we?
An estimated 56% of Americans don’t have money in the market and that’s not the half of Americans that Trump is concerned with. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck, Trump doesn’t have time to deal with your woes, he’s too worried about the country club set.
Seriously, all the Democrats need to do is tack together enough of Trump’s utterances and images of him falling asleep and that would be an effective ad campaign.
I saw where he also said the sailors who try suicide “haven’t spent enough time at sea”. To me, another choice remark worth throwing back in his face.
