Surely grammar is the least of your worries, Donald, but you can't feel "badly" as you keep saying you feel about Manifort and Cohen. You feel "BAD." Period. If you're manually clumsy you could feel, say, a woman's body clumsily. You would then be "feeling badly." Get it?

Will “Suds” Kavanaugh’s petulant, half-demented, blubbery display be rewarded with a Supreme Court seat? “It takes all kinds,” we’re told. But the Court doesn’t. It’s been fine without a venomous, partisan, keg-chugging, pants-on- fire predator of women (a Trump favorite).

So Trump dreams of sitting atop his wall, thumbing his nose at his enemies. A gust of wind, he is toppled, and a new children's book is born. "Humpty Dumpty Trumpty Had a Great Fall". Maybe some nice child would read it to him, helping with the hard words.
