it is things like this that are driving me the most crazy in this horrible story.
what kind of a psychopath would <smile> while asking the president about the victims of J. Epstein? and by the way, you know who never smiles, only grimaces in barely concealed disdain when insulting someone (the closest he gets to joy in his life)? the effing president!
