The "news sources" some Democrats are using clearly need to be reconsidered... [View all]

In light of today's multiple incorrect stories regarding a supposed health crisis for Donald Trump (while he was apparently actually overseeing a highly complex search and rescue operation for an airman downed in Iran). Was today basically a beta test mass hysteria event? I don't know, but it certainly felt like it. While this might sound like a small issue, it is NOT. If this same kind of running with false information were to happen during an election, there is no telling what kind of damage we as a party could inflict upon ourselves. For this reason, I ask some of you to reflect upon your trusted news sources. Based on the events of today, some of these are likely not what you think they are.

If, and I stress if, Trumpedo is dying or dead,
