    He’s now claiming he didn’t mean war, just cleaning up crime. The regime keeps gaslighting us by going two steps forward and one step back so it looks like we overreacted.

    But even if I did believe he wasn’t serious (he was), some jokes aren’t appropriate for a president to make. If a teenager made a post threatening to shoot up a school, he’d still be in some trouble even if he said he didn’t mean it
