Can't say I blame him. Just don't understand why more people aren't jumping ship? Because if they did, maybe Trump would slither back under whatever rock he had crawled out from under. I preferred it when he was busy with the Celebrity Apprentice and Miss America. Damn, NBC for canceling. That kept him busy. And easy to ignore.

Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes, macrocytic anemia and depression.

Here, we propose that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide, Roundup®, is the most important causal factor in this epidemic.
