If Trump gives me $5,000, I’ll spend it on lawyers trying to put him in prison.

Trump began by calling for Iran’s unconditional surrender. He ends by calling the mullahs “very rational people,” “nice to deal with,” and “strong and smart.”

Presidents’ Day is the participation trophy of holidays. It’s like celebrating “the teams in the NFL” or “the leaders of World War II.”
