I’m not too embarrassed that we are losing to Iran. It’s a big boy country with missiles and drones and so forth ran by stone cold killers. That’s NFL ball for you. I am a little embarrassed we are also losing to algae.

Any book about Trump that describes him as "unconstrained" or "norm-breaking" is a coverup.
