What if Trump believes everything he's telling us [View all]
By Ezra Klein / The New York Times Imagine you’re Donald Trump — or maybe you’re one of Donald Trump’s political advisers or kids or someone who doesn’t want to lose the midterms and have his crypto and AI trades investigated by congressional Democrats — and you’re planning out the State of the Union address.
