I want to remind everyone that numbers aren’t real things to President Donald Trump. They have never been connected to underlying reality. They have been artifacts that his accountants could manipulate to secure a lower interest rate on a loan from a bank or to cheat on his taxes.
Donald J Trump: Except what is written and broadcast in the Fake News, I now have the highest poll numbers I’ve ever had, some in the 60s and even 70s. Thank you. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!

“There are idiots, look around.”
Lawrence Summers: A demoralized IRS that has lost a quarter of its staff since inauguration and been subjected to unprecedented political interference is a threat to US state capacity, fiscal solvency, prosperity and national security. The new Commissioner’s overdue resignation suggests overdue recognition of the problem by the @realDonaldTrump administration.

Who is Sidney Sweeney? (Wrong answers only)
Sidney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are “flying off the shelves.” Go get ‘em Sidney.
