It was another day on The Five, which means another round of Jessica Tarlov losing her mind over something to do with Donald Trump and Greg Gutfeld methodically dismantling every argument she threw at the wall.

On Friday, it started with Tarlov going after Trump's money. She brought up his horrible crime of making money, reportedly $3 billion last year. Gutfeld didn't let her get far.

"He made less money this year than he did when he was out of office," he pointed out.

That did not go over well. Tarlov, voice rising, fired back: "He's the president. You're supposed to have made $400,000."

Gutfeld was ready, "I know this is going to blow your mind. He was a billionaire and a businessman before he was president, unlike Obama."

That's when Tarlov really started to lose it and began rattling off conspiracy theories and baseless accusations: "He continues to sell us out to people. He's the highest bidder. There is a for sale sign on the White House, the crypto scam. No, no, no. This is part of it when you hear that."
...
And then, of course, she pivoted almost immediately. "We just saw that Donald Trump in Q1 made at least $220 million of purchases in stocks. Paramount, Netflix, Warner Brothers, Palantir."

"So did I,” Jesse Watters interjected. “Everyone's buying those stocks."

But, you know, when it’s Trump, it’s different. "He is in control. He should not be able to do that. You want to talk about Nancy Pelosi's Talenti gelato drawer. And you don't care what's going on here."
...
"You don't even have to ask me a question," he began. "A Democrat gets into power and then gets rich. Trump was rich before he got there, and he's actually making less money. So your obsession over his profiting is a delusion."

At the foundation of her tantrumming, I think, is that Trump had the financial ability to face down and squash the Dems' gooberment-funded lawfare during LIEden's MalAdministration, and Trump's businesses continuing to profit means he would be able to weather the future lawfare Dems have promised, if they're stupid enough to try it.
