He really is the bestest business man ever. No one does business like he does business. Members of the Harvard Business Review weep every time he does a deal he does business stuff so bigly. MAGA cheers every time he does a business thing because they’ve never seen anything so beautiful.

this is a catastrophe; there are plenty of people on my side of the political spectrum who have issues with the CDC, but...well, the good done for the world by their work is almost impossible to measure, and this will harm many both here and abroad.
