  • Trump first said he wouldn’t mention the lawmaker’s name before turning to Johnson and telling him to share the story, saying the House member they were discussing would “be proud.”

    “Okay, well. Thank you, Mr. President. Congressman Neal Dunn of Florida had had some real health challenges, and it was very serious, and had had a pretty grim diagnosis. And I mentioned it to the president and I said, ‘Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he’s still coming to work, and if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire,’” Johnson said.

    Trump then pressed Johnson to say what the diagnosis was, and Johnson replied, “It was, I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis.”

    “He would be dead by June,” Trump said bluntly.

    “Okay, that wasn’t public,” Johnson responded.

    Wow. Just wow.













  • The idea of the iPhone was staring us all in the face: The cellular phone continued to evolve until Jobs and Apple moved the goalposts on what made a phone a phone. An AI-first product doesn’t yet exist and adding AI to a tried and true product (like a lamp) will never make a lamp into a better lamp. It’s just a more complicated lamp. These people are going to have a much harder time than Jobs to make a new product because it has to be truly original. Jobs never made an original product. He just evolved the last version better than anybody else could.
