“We just learned that Robert Mueller has been examining Trump’s tweets. Some of us do that every day, sir. Just a warning: Before you open up his feed, I recommend putting on goggles and freebasing some Dramamine.”

“The next time you complain about your job, think of the guy who has to read 40,000 Trump tweets.”
— Jimmy Fallon
“It was just reported that a $40 million yacht owned by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was untied from its dock, causing the boat to drift away and crash. It was completely unmoored, drifting aimlessly. Oh no, wait — that’s her plan for public schools.”
