A lot of countries are taking better care of their citizens than the US is today. They are both healthier & happier. In particular, it's time to stop looking at Mexico as a "3rd world country" while they're doing so many things better than Trump-land. #ProudBlue

Graydon Carter’s memoir says he wrote an unflattering piece about how vulgar Trump is for GQ. Thin-skinned Donald got employees to buy all the copies.
