JFC. A guy murdered a woman and it’s on Frey to “bring down the temperature?”
WELKER: Do you bear any responsibility to bring down the temperature?
FREY: Of course. But I dropped an F bomb and they killed somebody. I think the killing somebody is the inflammatory element here and not the F bomb.

This is just the next instance of having to evaluate methods of eradicating this malignant narcissist who has a record of felonies. Today will bring a fresh one.
Not everyone believed me when I wrote that Trump wants Greenland becuase it would make him feel important, but that's what he told the NYT:
When asked why he needed to possess the territory, he said: “Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success"
