Yesterday, Donald Trump became the first American President to commemorate “Reformation Day.”
Perhaps someone needs to nail a copy of the First Amendment to the White House door.

CORRECTION: I previously stated that in this photo Donald Trump was holding a stage prop from a live performance of “Stonehenge” by Spinal Tap.

What will the MAGA crowd do when they find out about Trump’s meeting with the Chinese premier? After all, he is a Xi.

Presumably, @realDonaldTrump and his DOJ will follow their indictment of James #Comey with the prosecution of Jack Posobiec.
