Bless whoever endured the torture of writing down each one of these demented declarations from a dictator in the midst of a psychotic breakdown.

Those words are obviously contagious to some, I’m tempted to wear a mask just reading such a toxic soup of proven-false statements.

And then see how the market reacts. Billionaires stuffing their pockets. Where no one can do anything about it. What our dick tater wants he gits.
