I’m a pediatrician who knows tantrums when he sees them. Also a rare book collector of early American History. The founders are rolling over in their graves.

Trump said today that the attack on Ilhan Omar was staged. Since comments like this are a “tell” I must conclude, after all, that the assassination attempt on Trump was staged. I have resisted this as being way too cynical, but after his slanderous remark today, I am convinced.
