When a hard-ass like Kelly says you're a fascist there is a high likelihood you are one.

(182,803 posts)Yes she did promote the hell out of him on the pages of the New York Times but she did have access like no one else. She may see this as redemption for herself. It really should be the end of him - Woodwords book should have too.
If Trump's own actions on Jan 6th didn't provide a kill shot, I don't think a book by Maggie Haberman gonna move the needle any more than Woodward's did.

COVID - yep I saw this and read it as such.
In the final year of his presidency, Trump tried to wish away the topic of coronavirus, Haberman writes, minimizing it publicly out of an apparent belief that things only existed if they were discussed openly.

Kelly can go fuck himself. So can Maggie.
