So creepy.

I don't think if you call clinical attention to his dementia, you are downplaying all of the evil traits that you mention. The one does not exclude the other. And yes, he has always had them.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I have an impartial relationship with my garlic press from WMF. And it works just fine, both for a sugo and tzatziki...🤔

Can't recall ever seeing anything quite like this during a Congressional hearing. And I've been in and around politics for 50 years.

Designing an Arc-de-Trump with a snipers' nest? Trying to ban reporters from the White House? Refusing to say how many Americans have died in his wars? It's so painfully clear that Trump has lost his mind.

Analysis: The Trump-Xi meeting was heavy on pomp, light on substance. China is just fine with that | CNN

Four months after their last meeting, President Donald Trump and Xi Jinping traded niceties during the Chinese leader’s first visit to the US capital in over a decade.

edition.cnn.com

As Donald shows Xi the presidential portraits he has hung there, the audio is "Trump, and then Trump, and this is the autopen," as Xi laughed. “It’s Biden,” he said, slapping Xi on the arm. So funny... 🙄 🙈

Fun times in Florida

Not so cozy, I figure. Then again... if you find the right spot, somewhere between −170 °C and +420 °C, you'll know just where to throw your beach towel. 😎

Imagine what it's like on Mercury.

Imagine, if you will, the "leader of the free world" speaking to heads of state and representatives of sovereign countries at the General Assembly of the United Nations – and asking himself, should he negotiate with or annihilate an entire country. #UnitedNations (Checks notes… oh, he just did.)

And will there be a beautiful chocolate cake again, the likes of which you've never seen before?
