Trump, breathing heavily, threatens Mexico: "Now we're gonna go and focus on the land. They [drugs] come through Mexico. Mexico has lost control of their country. The cartels run Mexico. The president is a very scared woman."

There once was a woman who swallowed a fly,
I don't know why she swallowed a fly,
She swallowed a spider to eat the fly,
Imagine a spider deep down inside her,

down there from his heart failure it’s become an “innie.” So when he has to get his catheter changed the poor nurse has to go diving in there with long gloves to find it.

Mexico may be more than he bargained for--kind of like Iran. It could be useful if they take back Texas though.

Greenland was a non-starter (to be revisited later), move on to Iran. Capitulated to Iran, gotta decide if Mexico or Cuba is the next distraction.

On CNN you open it up to a HUGE pic of you know who (a daily occurrence). Is it their version of Big Brother? It's obviously on purpose, but why?
