Trump is so proud of his performance, I bet he could be goaded into taking the test on live TV. That would absolutely silence all his critics.
He’s doing “I aced it” on the “very advanced mental acuity” test again.

Someone did this to me last year: “Why didn’t you post anything about *this* news story, huh?!”

I looked at the date and realized, well, that was the day we buried my mom, so I guess I was a little preoccupied?

Sorry for letting you down. I’ll try to Do Better.
I got an actual "Your silence on this subject is deafening" message this AM, so, super-quick: Nobody here owes anyone commentary about anything. This is a public park. It's full of interesting people. We hang out here, make friends, and chat, and then we leave to do whatever it is we do. That's it!

My brother shared this cool picture that he took of a flock of seagulls on the Outer Banks. I like that he got the birds, their shadows, and their reflections all in one shot.

President Trump returned to office promising to avoid foreign entanglements, make life more affordable and ensure that available jobs go to American citizens. His recent actions have been a significant departure from the expectations of his loyal base. nyti.ms/4p91FCj

It's confusing because we were told a few months ago that this whole investigation was done. I must have misheard or something.
