I have some questions about Dr. Zarkov's fashion choices. (From Flash Gordon, July 14, 1935)

In any assassination and terrorist event, it's important to have factual clarity about what happened. Alas, as with two earlier assassination attempts, Trump insists on muddying the water by lying. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
