So today we have a message for Tileesa, Maureen, and all Americans.

Help is on the way, and it is long overdue.

We are able to demonstrate at the end of this chaos that he's created,

What I worry about Jake more than the impact on the domestic politics,

I really worry about the image we're presenting to the rest of the world.

Hello and welcome to Trumpcast. I'm Virginia Heffernan.

I remember this one finals week in college when I was taking way too many classes.

I was shooting for a double major in English and philosophy with a French minor.

Later I kind of dropped the minor.

And just so I don't sound like a lifelong grind and scholar,

I should tell you, I was a bust socially at the University of Virginia.

So I turned to the only thing left to do in college when you hate this forts

and you hate the parties. Studying.

Anyway, I was charging along in all these courses,

and suddenly I had seven hard finals exams and 13 term papers due in one week,

or at least that's how I remember it.

There was no chance for sleep.

It was caffeine all day, every day with high C and cool aid when I needed vitamins.

I also remember starbursts being part of my regime.

And I felt extreme stress and like hallucinating fatigue and my spine seemed to splinter

as I filled out blue books on epistemology and went back to my Apple IIE
