Trump has been using his words and his voice and his powerful eloquence just now to explain why The Enemy Women in Congress should get out.

Yes, “Many people agree with me.” Richard Spencer, David Duke, James Alex Field….
I figured there must be something he was basing Omar’s alleged love for al Qaeda on, perhaps something she said that wasn’t completely negative, but apparently he just made it up out of whole cloth. Wow.
People got screenshots of his notes, complete with his unique spelling (“Alcaida”):

To be totally fair about this, that alcaida could have been a phonetic spelling someone did for him so he knew how to pronounce it.
iknklast, I think it’s his (tiny)handwriting, written with his big-boy felt-tipped colouring pen. He’s graduated from wax crayons now. Well, not exactly graduated, but his carers thought it would be a bad look for the president to be seen eating the stationery.
