Like releasing his taxes? Like a universal healthcare plan? Like the Epstein Files?

Face it, Trump has planted the US face-to-ass into another forever war.

      I read that in an italian mafia way, “Donnie Two Weeks, everything is two weeks away with this guy!”

      He does, he knows most people will have forgotten what he said two weeks prior

        This, and not ironically.

        It is a slippery thing, this two weeks — not a measurement of time so much as a placeholder. Two weeks for Mr. Trump can mean something, or nothing at all. It is both a yes and a no. It is delaying while at the same time scheduling. It is not an objective unit of time, it is a subjective unit of time. It is completely divorced from any sense of chronology. It simply means later. But later can also mean never. Sometimes.

      Nobody wants to get fired so they keep telling him just two more weeks, and he’s too senile to feel the passage of time or form memories.

      Yes, and he plans to do something extra crazy in the next two weeks to (hopefully) make you talk about something else.
