    I took that as an honest question and wondered that myself. A simple yes or no would have sufficed.

      It was an honest question.

      I don’t know why my heads getting bitten off here.

      And the answer seems to be yes.

      But this isn’t even a “just asking questions” that reads remotely disingenuous. Anyone who thinks I’m some Trump lover can just read my comments on how I fucking hate him and everything he does.

      “An honest question” isn’t a free pass from doing basic due diligence. When a claim can be verified in seconds through countless reputable sources, posting it to a forum as an open question tends to generate confusion rather than understanding, and confusion is this administration’s lifeblood. And how would a yes from me be any different than the yes that OP was responding to with his question? He already got the information, yet he sought out verification from the same source? Not buying it.
