It’s astounding how confident he is in his own mental capacity while sounding and acting like someone who badly needs to be sent to bed.
TRUMP: If they want to release my MRI it's ok w/me. It's perfect like my phone call where I got impeached

Q: What part of your body were they were looking at?

TRUMP: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn't the brain bc I took a cognitive test & aced it, which you would be incapable of doing

If I earned $390,000 year, and had a partner who made twice that, I don’t see how saving $1.5 million would be worth writing an article about.

Also, check out the commenters sniffing at the idea of retiring on $1.5 million.

On Saturday the IDF murdered these two brothers. They were gathering firewood,as their father is wheelchair bound,and had strayed over the yellow line in Southern Gaza. The two little boys were 8 & 11 years old.

Labour have signed a deal with the USA which means it’s more expensive for medication. Make that make sense!!!!
To see how Labour stitched the UK up in today's pharmaceutical trade deal with the USA, you have to turn to the US readout of what they're getting in return.

It spells out what was as clear as mud in the UK government's own press release: we will pay more for medicines.
