Given he's doing everything the sane staffers and guardrails stopped him from doing last time, have any double XL T-shirts been delivered to the White House this week?

n several phone calls last weekend from the presidential suite at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Mr. Trump shared an idea he was considering: When he left the hospital, he wanted to appear frail at first when people saw him, according to people with knowledge of the conversations. But underneath his button-down dress shirt, he would wear a Superman T-shirt, which he would reveal as a symbol of strength when he ripped open the top layer. He ultimately did not go ahead with the stunt.

Those of you who predicted that I'd get sick if I pushed myself too hard on PROOF OF DEVILRY were correct. I am sick. It will cause a slight delay in the release of Book 3—albeit not a significant one. I really want Book 3 to be excellent, as it's very much a culmination of the 400 pp. before it.

I have my own harsh criticisms of how the media has covered this era, but I'm mystified at this perspective.

POPE LEO: “Let us plead God to stop the pandemic of arms, large and small, which infects our world.” He prays for the victims in Minneapolis, and “the countless children killed and injured every day around the world”
