Henson began making puppets in high school and in college with fellow student Jane Nebel, they formed Muppets, Inc. in 1958. The duo married about a year 👇

Donald is so monumentally stupid, he doesn't understand that the press is boycotting *the White House* in solidarity with other outlets that were banned from the White House. CNN never said they wouldn't cover *other* things, like speeches at the UN where he might be speaking. What an idiot.
