Y’all, I just had the worst nightmare ever. I dreamed that Donald Trump’s estate was undergoing renovations, so he decided he was going to be my roommate and moved in. I told him over and over again that I didn’t want a roommate and I would like him to leave, but he behaved just like real-life Trump, piling lie on top of lie and denying things he had said previously. “It’s only going to be until April,” he said. “Look, I’m already moved in, let’s just make the best of it. It’ll be terrific.” After I woke up from that dream I was afraid to go back to sleep, even though it was only 4 in the morning and I had plenty of time.
