In an old ST:NG episode (odd to call that “old”), the god-like “Q” (no, not that “Q.” Damn, this episode is old!) is asked how to avert some impending doom that would require god-like powers to resolve."Blunt in private" is not a sound journalistic reason to give sources anonymity when they're trying to get away with stealing classified documents.

It really, really, is not. https://t.co/bSknJTEOBR
He answers casually: “Change the gravitational constant of the universe.” He repeats it, to prove he really means it. Problem is, he’s lost his god-like powers, so that’s not really an option.
Trump has lost his Presidential powers. And his advisers see the recovery of them as his only hope.
In other words, Trump has no defense to the case in Florida. Even his own lawyers agree. His only hope is to regain his POTUS powers and…change the gravitational constant of the universe. Which is not exactly a campaign platform even Trump wants to run on. “Re-elect me so I can absolve myself of all criminal liability!”
I don’t care how NYT is reporting this. It’s what they’re reporting that’s significant. Trump is done. Trump is screwed. He’s all but convicted, even in the eyes of his closest advisers. It’s all over but the shouting.
He’s screwed, and his only hope is the biggest Hail Mary imaginable. Which might as well be hoping for the power to change the gravitational constant of the universe.
Future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades. ð
