    Read what the president is reading!

    Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Fake NBC News said it’s time for the Press to stop complaining and to start fighting back. Actually Chuck, they’ve been doing that from the day I announced for President. They’ve gone all out, and I WON, and now they’re going CRAZY!

    There must be some kind of internal style guide thing for this, right?

    Hey : could we get an org chart of what counts as “senior official in the Trump administration?”

    I read a draft of this story many months ago, and can't recommend it highly enough.

    Scientists predict Tangier Island could be uninhabitable within 25 years. This is the story of the people willing to go down with it—and why they've risked it all on Donald Trump to keep them afloat. My cover story for is now live:

    ~update~ Apparently these particular students were not dressed as missionaries. (It's a common thing at BYU games, but apparently that wasn't the deal here.) I stand by my general amusement at the gag, but I'm deleting the tweet.

    Replying to @KevinNixon33
    Well.. if you do a bit of research, they weren’t dressing as missionaries. There are a group of students that dress like that every game.. they are a student led group that brings the Wildcat flag etc to all games. But, I guess if the rhetoric fits.. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️
