Everything is a distraction from this.

I'm rooting for the Blue Jays just so I can see Donald melt down over a Canadian team winning the World Series.

My big takeaway from Trump's lengthy Air Force One gaggle is that he's talking about shredding the Constitution by being in office for a third term increasingly openly.
