Thank you for this Chris. CNN’s loss is Substack’s gain. In Trump’s world, the only operative pronouns are “I” and “me”. No “our” or “us.” His narcissism knows no bounds.

We have to make Russia and Ukraine fight, but also have to make peace between them. Then, I suppose always has his cake and eats it too.

Is the Pulitzer lawsuit going to cost him and his lawyer another $1 million? We can only hope.

Chris, I loved when you did this for CNN and glad you are continuing. Trump says the same things over and over and over again. If it’s not a word salad, it’s some sort of whopper of a lie, or exaggeration. He really shouldn’t speak as it shows his ignorance and stupidity. Love your comments and can hear you say them, giving me a chuckle. It’s all so pathetic. Sad!

Excellent. Can’t believe we’re going to be tortured by this jackass, again. Wish TFG would just go away.

My grammar school teacher, Sister Mary Hatchett, of the Order of The Bleeding Knees, would be wacking the daylights out of the Insurrectionist-In-Chief with his butchering the English language.

Welcome back. I loved when you did these pieces. I didn't love that our then-president was an incoherent fool but as someone who goes through a lot of transcripts for the non-partisan OntheIssues.org I appreciated the effort it took.

I honestly don’t see how anyone could ever vote for him. This was priceless!

I don’t know about Ron DeSantis but I have tears in my eyes after reading that. I’m sure Ron is looking forward to seeing himself reading The Art of the Deal again.

“Donald Trump says he should have 200 million Twitter followers. How? Um, not sure.”

Hey, George Santos has raised the bar, okay!

Sure, the nicknames is a dumb question but that’s why Hugh is the world’s favorite radio host.
