  1. OMG Jim! 50 true links to our president’s actual tweets.

    When I assign papers to my students, they complain about having to find just three references! You have helped that future PhD student get a good start on their dissertation. I am nauseous just reading this much of “Doctor” Trump’s scientific studies on autism, global warming, etc….
