When attending a theater screening of “Jaws,” is it only proper to wear your Alsta Nautoscaph diving watch, as it’s the timepiece Hooper wears in the film. #Jaws

Trump desperately wants lower rates because he A) needs to refinance his existing debt, which is significant, B) the donor class is on his ass, and C) he knows the economy is sinking and he wants to give it a sugar high so that he looks successful.
