      I laughed about your comment, paused, and then started getting nervous.

      I decided to take a quick glance at the article and came across this:

      President Donald Trump suggested Friday he could use the military to stage an “intervention” on bond markets in a confusing response to a reporter asking about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s efforts to bring down soaring yields.

      Much to my dismay, you weren’t exaggerating.

        Just for the record: in the comments section of a post about a news article in a news community, you described a story about how you read what the lead says when you took a quick glance at the article.
        We’re talking about an “article” that is shown as a “2 minute read”, and takes about 30 seconds to read.
        Fun fact: the demographic in which Trump gained the most before the 2024 election was “people who don’t read news daily”.
