34. I think it's clear Drudge was the source. Darcy did a screenshot of it.

The screenshot in the tweet links to a larger version of the snip, not to Drudge.

I posted it because:

a) Oliver Darcy is a legit journalist who covers media for CNN

b) *To me*, this really seems more like Bloomberg psyops on Trump than Drudge trying to push a improbable narrative on his gullible viewers (I say viewers because 95% of his hist are people just reading the headlines on his HTML 1.0-based page, not actually clicking thru)

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
