Also good for tim walz for getting journalists asking about this
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results
Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

Looking forward to Miller being far far away from any kind of political power. He's a bad person whose been empowered to unleash his cruelty on others.
That's the thing, Miller is absolutely the lowest hanging fruit here because he has no friends, freaks people out, and also (importantly) ordered a bunch of criminal human rights abuses.
If you're trying to look tough as a Dem in a post-Trump era, he'd be the logical place to start.

Right, Kissinger was respected by some sectors, and at least politely tolerated by others. I don’t think anyone who’s not working in the WH cares for Miller: I’d almost think he would be the big fall guy if things go real south for Trump
