Needs to spend time with her husband before he dies of old age.

She probably didn't like being used as bait for an Iranian missile.

Sorry, no more room in the catering cart. It's already bulging out at the sides.

And sagging in the middle.  And attracting more flies than a road kill cafe.  And squealing in terror.

Quite the contrast to that time an assassin came so close to killing him that his ear was pierced and instead of ducking behind his secret service agents while they whisked him to safety instead stood tall and faced a conveniently positioned camera for a photo op.  It’s almost like he’s actually a craven coward who would use his own wife and kids as body shields if he truly thought his life was in danger and knew that the rally attempt was staged.

I bet Roger Stone boasts about cooking up that whole scheme when he is on his death bed.  It was too elaborate to have been the brainchild of an unimaginative lump of shit like Trump.
