You use to be able to rely on AP for factual non biased news but they’ve gone DU on us recently.

And he did it like a boss. I watched the entire presser. No President has ever taken a sip of water more bad ass. Ever.

Ronald Reagan leaves drowning man behind and manhandles struggling woman on beach AND he can’t swim.
