“Totally normal presidential behavior: waking up and rage-posting a 900-word breakup fanfic about Marjorie Taylor Greene. Apparently she was ‘jilted.’ America’s main concern this morning: who knew the Oval Office doubles as a middle-school cafeteria?”

🤪Trumps rant about MTG on 60 minutes - more than a few dead brain cells!
President Trump is mad about the 60 Minutes interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene R-GA, so he wants an apology from CBS. I can't make this stuff up.

Interesting that he omits the fact that the investigation into former Honduras president Juan Orlando Hernandez began during Trump’s first term

So technically today’s pardon would reverse a Trump witch hunt

But really, it's just another example of his "Biden Bad/Trump Good" fantasy
Trump on pardoning the former president of Honduras: "That was a Biden horrible witch hunt. A lot of people in Honduras asked me to do that & I did it. I feel very good about it. If you have some drug dealers in your country and you're the president, you don't necessarily put the president in jail"

Let’s hope this eye opening report initiates some restraint and insight on the Trump administration’s knee-jerk directives.
