In what looked like an unscripted moment during his speech in Nebraska Trump said it would be a small price to pay if Iran took out Los Angeles or San Diego before promising the crowd he would get gas prices down.

Something big may be happening: Trump's world-historical misrule may be creating the conditions for the emergence of a coalition similar to the one that ousted Viktor Orban earlier this year: Anti-corruption, anti-authoritarian, pro-democracy. I made this case here: newrepublic.com/article/2161...

Irish President Catherine Connolly to Trump, “I conveyed the strong view of the Irish people that the normalisation of war and genocide can never be accepted'. Trump walked away angry & pouting as usual whenever he encounters a strong intelligent woman. Another day. Another embarrassment. ==========

The amount of stupidity in this statement is incredible. Autism is not an epidemic, it is not contagious. There is zero evidence that shots cause autism. Five shots instead of one is just a way too rip off parents.
