Thanks to @mylesdesigns.bsky.social for this context: β€œSome Dakota call Minnesota "MniΕ‘ota", which refers to smokey water. And that could mean frozen water, or this time of year with the fog coming off the water.”

Draw your own conclusions, but Donald Trump is not behaving like a leader who expects democratic accountability for himself or his party next year or in 2028.
