Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This was my dinner plate; dessert offerings were pies (apple and pumpkin) and fennel ice cream. China from Noritake, Vancouver Gold. Oh, and cocktails were Parafante with tonic water. I broke the seal on a bottle of Midleton Very Rare. Sauvignon Blanc…

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.
