ILLNESS: "Who talks like this?" David Remnick had said!

THURSDAY, APRIL 9, 2026

And then, we had Megyn Kelly: And then, we had Megyn Kelly's reaction to the president's recent threats. 

To view the tape, you can just click here. With apologies for our decision not to bleep, we think we can answer her questions: 

KELLY (4/7/26): I don’t know about you, but I am sick of this shit! I’m just—I’m sick of it. Can’t he just behave like a normal human? I mean, honestly, like the president—“3D chess.” Just shut up! Fucking shut up about that shit! 

You don’t threaten to wipe out an entire civilization. We’re talking about civilians, just casually in a social media post. 

You know, like, I am the first to try to understand Trump and his strategy and not freak out over his weird social media posts and language that is loose and incendiary...But this is completely irresponsible and disgusting. This is wrong. It’s wrong. He should not be doing it.

I don’t care that it’s a negotia–his negotiation tactic is to kill an entire country full of civilians–men, women, and children–an American president, so that the Strait of Hormuz will be opened? It’s just wrong. It’s not hard to say it, it’s not hard to recognize it. I wish he would stop doing this. Like, he can’t negotiate without doing this? What does that say about him? What does that say about the position that our country is in right now in these negotiations? 

He’s got to say this? He can’t be a dignified, strong leader without threatening a bunch of war crimes? Like what is he, Genghis Khan? Like, what is he trying to do and why can’t he do it with strength–threats, sure, go for it–that don’t diminish and demean the United States of America in this way?  

So she said, on Tuesday's edition of The Megyn Kelly Show. For today, we'll regard these as her basic questions: 

Can’t he just behave like a normal human? What does that say about him?  

We think we can provide one (obvious) possible answer to those important questions. In yesterday's post, we said the same thing about David Remnick's recent question:

Who talks like this, Remnick had said.

We think we know how to answer these questions. 

Tomorrow morning, we're going down to see the doc. If we can start to return to normal levels of energy and focus, we'll be happy to tell you what one obvious answer is.
