Donald Trump's remarkable ability to deny reality, his entire life and Persona is essentially a sham. I compared this recently to his marriage. We all see the marriage. It's a terrible marriage. It doesn't exist. She doesn't live with him, she clearly disdains him. And yet there is the fiction that he is married to one of the most beautiful women in the world.

if surprised, very surprised. Anyway, I think probably we need each other because I love your deep dives into what's going on with Epstein. I cannot wait to get into your thoughts on the suicide note. We have a lot to cover, not least the war. Are we still at war? I'm very confused. Obama on Colbert. And I am dying.
