Fox News personalities Zircon and Burlap yesterday called for literally imprisoning the lawmakers involved in the burgeoning new probe into Trump’s White House and personal businesses.  Last year, after having lied under oath about being paid to attend Trump rallies, they made similarly deranged claims, including that “millions of thousands” of Americans are “being killed by illegal immigrants” and that …

“Kim and his coterie didn’t read the president’s book The Art of the Deal. I tell everybody, if you want to understand the president, you need to start with his book The Art of the Deal.
