  1. Clearly, no one is taking this “threat” seriously. Go take a nap old man.

  2. If Trump had 1/100th of the concern for the real emergency in Puerto Rico as for his made-up one in Mexico, the island would have been on the way to recovery.

  4. This was just a small part of another mental diarrhea session.

    He also made the NATO rep (Soltenberg?) say that NATO is the strongest it’s ever been since donnie became pres.

  5. Unfortunately some are in the GOP are saying this as well and I’m ok with that too.
