What was in his coffee today?

I think the better question is what's in his retirement account. My guess is that he's a bandwagon investor, and he bought a lot of NVidia, Tesla, etc. at their peaks and is now looking at a big crater. Probably some crypto in there too.
 
Trump’s reaction to the computer screen in a Tesla reminded me of George H.W. Bush’s reaction to a barcode scanner in a grocery store:

“I’m clueless and out-of-touch.”

Now, the computer screen in a Tesla strikes me as bullshit. It looks like something that obscures the driver’s view and distracts him. My car has more than enough info on the dashboard.

The captain of a container ship that struck an oil tanker transporting fuel for the U.S. military on Monday was a Russian citizen, the company that owns that ship said on Wednesday.

The man was arrested in northern England on Tuesday on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. One crew member is missing and presumed dead after the crash, which forced both crews to abandon ship.

There was no immediate indication that the captain’s nationality played a role in the crash. Russians make up about 10 percent of international seafarers, according to the International Chamber of Shipping. British lawmakers said on Tuesday that they had no evidence to suggest foul play.

Ernst Russ, the company that owns the container ship, named the Solong, said in a statement that the vessel’s captain was a Russian citizen, while the rest of the crew members were Russian and Filipino.

… The crash on Monday morning, about 13 nautical miles off the northeastern coast of England, set off a series of explosions and a fire onboard both vessels that sent plumes of black smoke rising into the air. Given that the Solong plowed into the tanker, called the Stena Immaculate, in daylight hours while the tanker was stationary, experts have raised questions about why radar and alert systems did not prevent the crash. …”
