I suppose sooner or later he was going to have to divulge the Muslim Brotherhood was seizing the reins of power. A Wednesday is as good a day as any. There’s a couple women in my office that really should be covered head-to-toe anyway, so it’s just as well.

Let’s hope most of the members of his Secret Service detail aren’t drunk or texting other people’s spouses or trying to hook up with underage girls on Tinder or book a hooker during this event. High expectations for the New, Improved Homeland Security version of the Secret Service, admittedly.

THIS is where he’s finally going to announce that he’s taking our guns. I just know it.

Megyn Kelly: We all knew those terrorist jabs were learnt in Madrassas.
Trump: Kenyan birth with fake long form certificate will do to you.

I sure hope this visit doesn’t make the Republicans’ heads explode.
That would be terrible.
