"Jexodus" isn't a thing in the same way "Blexit" isn't a thing, but Fox & Friends gave it airtime and now Trump is tweeting about it.

Pipko's full quote may have been too absurd for even Trump: "We left Egypt, and now we're leaving the Democratic Party."

Basically adopting the rhetoric the Candace Owens types use about the Democratic "plantation."
It is potentially catastrophic that the president of the United States gets his news on climate change from F&F appearances by an industry spox who falsely portrays himself as a Greenpeace co-founder mediamatters.org/research/2014/…

This is the sort of thing that confirms all of Trump's priors, to potentially devastating effect.
The president has some thoughts about planes in light of a Fox News report on the Boeing crash that mentioned that the FAA "believes these planes are safe to fly in."

Second half of the thought from the guy in charge of the FAA (and nukes).
The president has access to the nation's best experts on aviation and every other topic, but prefers to watch Fox News and free associate.
Anyway, flashback to the time Trump watched Fox & Friends and dishonestly boasted that the nation had achieved the "best and safest year on record" because he had "been very strict on Commercial Aviation."
Unusually unnerving executive time today.
