> [@Atamasama](#): > > I’m surprised by the outrage, I’m not convinced there’s MAGA-wide outrage about Trump’s ugly Reiner post—note that ALL of those citations are _Raw Story_. As an example of their general flimsiness: in one cite it’s implied that Ana Navarro is a MAGA person who turned on Trump over this—whereas the reality is that she’s been a never-Trumper for many years. You can find a million YouTube clips of her denouncing him (from at least 2016 on). So: not really reliable. So far as I know only a handful of Republicans (Massie; MTG; Don Bacon) have expressed anything negative about Trump’s post. MAGA influencers…maybe some. I wouldn’t trust _Raw Story_ for that information, though. ---

As far as ordinary MAGA voters–as evidenced by my Facebook feed–many of them have no problem at all with Trump’s comments. Reiner, they say, was a hateful leftist who was constantly insulting good true American patriots, and Trump was just being honest about the kind of horrible person he was. Who could possibly dislike honesty in a president? ---

Reiner, they say, was a hateful leftist who was constantly insulting good true American patriots, and Trump was just being honest about the kind of horrible person he was. Who could possibly dislike honesty in a president? A friend of mine who is rabid MAGA and loves to pwn the libs actually posted disgust at Trump’s tirade. Someone commented with “What would Reiner have said if it was the other way?” and I put in his comments after Charlie Kirk. Shut her up. ---

Although not as prevalent as acetominophen\* too much aspirin can damage your liver. (Looks hopeful) \*The leading cause of liver failure in the US. ---

I knew NSAIDs can damage the kidneys. I didn’t know about liver damage. The main risk of aspirin is bleeding, particularly GI tract and brain bleeds. Trump could give himself a stroke. And since aspirin is an over-the-counter medication, there’s little his doctors can do to keep him from overdosing. We’ve seen the bruising on his hands. That could be due to the aspirin. Or if he has some problem that leads to internal bleeding, the aspirin would make it worse. ---
