POLITICO: You pardoned the former president of Honduras even though he was convicted in a massive intl drug trafficking scheme. How is that 0 tolerance on drug trafficking?
TRUMP: Well I don't know him and I know very little about him other than people said it was like an Obama-Biden type set up

I've said this before, but there are two kinds of people in the world.
- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something, and think it's unfair unless everyone else also suffers
- People who have suffered or been traumatized by something and don't want anyone else to experience that.

"Pete Hague-seth" - we all need to start spelling it like that from now on

If we're talking about fertilization as in "spreading manure", then yeah
Trump: "We're gonna have tremendous goodies in the bag for women too. The women, between the fertilization and all the other things we're talking about, it's gonna be great. Fertilization. I'm still very proud of it, I don't care. I'll be known as the fertilization president and that's okay."
