i'm fine with that. w's been waiting a long time for his chance to chat about aluminum tubes and revenge as a motive for political assassination of foreign leaders.

For months and months I said Trump was going to arrest and imprison his enemies and I think people just thought I was being alarmist. He will absolutely put them all away to feed his disturbing, sick mind. He’s becoming more and more dangerous and mentally ill. #Projection
