I’m legit taken aback at how this isn’t the biggest news in decades. Trump is insane. These threats, and his claim not to care about being called a war criminal, are so obscene it’s hard to fathom. Yet it barely makes the news.

Where is this? I'm seeing this in the news everywhere! News media websites, TV, social media... It's been by far the thing I saw the most during all of yesterday.

It might be hard for people in other countries to fathom, but Americans, by and large, want this.
That is not true. Half or more of us are disgusted. His supporters will say it’s just his bluster and didn’t expect him to follow through. It’s sickening.
I stick with Nate Silver on how to weight and average the polls.

53.8% disapproval

38% approval, roughly the same percentage of people who will support anything Trump does.
Trump is not insane. He is self serving. Monitor his and Kushner's portfolio.
