I’m honestly not sure how to feel. This man and his administration have so little respect for truth that it’s difficult for me to know if it is true.
If it is? Let’s hope he pulls through and learns a lesson for once in his life.

We’ve been waiting *years* it feels like to reach a moment when the bubble of invincibility finally bursts and Trumpism is exposed.
I think the debate moment where he couldn’t coherently denounce the Proud Boys was it.
I honestly believe now Biden will win.
