Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles is scrambling to contain the fallout from her bombshell tell-all interviews with Vanity Fair

For me the mindblowing part is the cops having no idea whom they're looking for but telling everyone it's perfectly safe out there. If the cops thought they were gonna find the guy, they wouldn't have said it's perfectly safe. The only way this goes down is if someone rats him out

It feels like the Christmas holidays!

Over six years ago, I published an 11,000 word article in The Atlantic (gift link below) explaining how Donald Trump was, beyond any question, mentally ill and unfit to hold any office of public trust. He has proven these points virtually every day since. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Quick Q to media: what if DJT calls up a briefing where he tells you that today is June, the beach season has begun and all have to get ready to suntan despite the heatwave all across America? Will you just post/print/repeat it? Because that’s what you’ve doing all this time and it’s just… boring
