On My Mind

This is coming straight from DC where in a bizarre turn of events, White House correspondent has briefed that Donald Trump has in fact reduced using Twitter. After it was almost one complete day without any tweet from President Trump's twitter handle, people from all across the world had started speculating if he was critically ill.
