When Trump takes Greenland with no major repercussions, he won't stop there.

So a CNN journalist describes Trump at a recent rally as being ‘as incorrigible as ever’. Really? It’s this sort of pathetic reporting that trivialises his behaviour that drives people away from legacy media.

President Donald Trump certainly made himself feel better. Whether he did the same for gloomy voters haunted by high prices is more doubtful.

Re Kirk, what nobody has said that is more salient than the shooter’s political leanings, is that it was almost certainly a man. Because it’s nearly always a man. The fact that this is never addressed is more shocking to me.
