So that's a yes, then.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

For the love of all you hold dear, if you’re going to increase your fiber intake (which I DO encourage because most USians and Canadians do not get NEARLY enough), do it SLOWLY so your insides can adjust.

I think this is an important time to remember that Summers was a key architect of both the US Treasury's & the IMF's response to the 1996-97 Asian Financial Crisis, which was criticized for austerity & harshness.
wait, I saw 'peril' earlier and just assumed 'oh bc they knew this was behavior that could get them in trouble'
now that I see 'born in China' I'm like, bitch, did they mean YELLOW PERIL oh my God?

The Harvard Crimson has ID'ed and published the name of a well-known economist who was the subject of emails between Larry Summers and Epstein.
Born in China, she did her B.A. – Ph.D. at Harvard.
The code name that Summers and Epstein used in their emails about her was "peril." What a vile pig.
