What happens when Fauci and the others ignore his order to “clear” statements with him? I sense they aren’t too intimidated by the Moron. Will Fat Bill investigate? Lock him up? Yes, keep tweeting; that’ll show the markets how smart and serious you are, fucking imbecile.

"Until this moment, Mr. Trump, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness or stupidity." When Trump tried to continue his attack, the decent citizen angrily interrupted, "Let us not assassinate the truth any further, Mr. Trump. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"

I’m finally starting to see the beginnings of a trend towards more accurate (and hence better framed) headlines. Long may it continue.
