He proceeded to go on about applying light and heat to supposedly cure the virus.
“Maybe you’ve got the option to, maybe you’ve got the option to’t.

Donald Trump talks about beautiful chocolate cake and bombing Iraq (or is it Syria?)
“And we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you’ve ever seen.
And President Xi was enjoying it.
So what happens is, I said, ‘We’ve just launched 59 missiles heading to Iraq.'”

To paraphrase “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” Herman Sauritch is very much alive.
