He wasn't the completely raving lunatic he usually is!

He gave lip service to platitudes! What a guy!

He didn't declare Marshall Law! Isn't that wonderful?

He's not firebombing the EPA tomorrow.

He has no intention of clubbing baby seals! (Just gonna let them be poisoned.)

We can all give a big sigh of relief.

False...“We’ve defended the borders of other nations, while leaving our own borders wide open, for anyone to cross — and for drugs to pour in at a now unprecedented rate.”
