Life tip: if you’re a man and you get the chance to have free sex with dodgy women or underage girls offered to you by a mate of yours, you’re about to be blackmailed sometime in the future. Run a mile. Too complex for some millionaires to understand, apparently. #r4today #Epstein #Andrew

as in the first term, all of Trump's actions have the yes-but structure of storytelling. yes, they accomplish a particular aim, but there's a further complication that will come back to haunt them. now we're rapidly reaching the point where Trump can't do anything but deal with complications.
