Oh, ANDERSON COOPER. F*ck you very much, pal.

"This is a man, again, that only cares about himself," Gallego told Anderson Cooper. "First, he doesn't like commitment to other countries that are based on alliances, based on trust, because this man has no trust in anybody else, and he would rather just break whatever he can to get what he wants. And if we pay in the process, we as Americans, he doesn't care, right? This is the danger. Now he's a problem. Let's be clear. The reason he's there is because we have cowardly republicans in the Senate, in the House that are not standing up to this man."

"Well, it seems like European leaders' strategy so far has been to basically try to de-escalate, reason with the president, find some kind of an off-ramp," said Cooper. "Do you think there is an off-ramp?"

"No," said Gallego. "And I've been very clear. He is a madman. He is insane. He's only thinking about himself."

"You really think he's insane?" Cooper pressed him.

The emphasis is on celebrity. I wish he’d ask, “Why?” more often.

Example: “Why do you think he’s insane?”

"Senator, is President Donald Trump syphilitic? I have heard that he is. Do you believe it is true?"

Senator Gallego could then respond, "Anderson, I have read on the Internet that he is syphilitic, and I believe he is. I have seen real doctors give opinions that seem to show he isn't, but I choose not to believe these medical experts, and I agree with James Carville. President Trump is syphilitic!"

At least with Amin it was reportedly untreated syphilis. Trump was already screwed up with his NPD and now has gotten worse with dementia.
