    The story is here.
     
    It also prompted a response from the company that acquired Covidien, saying "That was before we took over.  It wasn't us."

    He's been playing the victim since literally Day One, when he claimed the media and the National Park Service were deliberately using photos that made his inauguration crowd look small.

    But we do have anti-Trump protestors described as "angry mobs" and proposals being made to restrict the right to protest.

    It's a good plot element, but being Susceptible to one single person on the entire planet goes far enough beyond "Uncommon" that it shouldn't be worth points.
    It would still work fine as something that comes up in game play, like Radium's explosion hazard in 5e and 6e.  If he's reduced to 0 BODY, he might explode in a massive burst of lethal radiation.  It's not in his Powers or Complications; it's just a plot device in his character description.

    Less nice, she was one of the supervisors of the CIA's torture program.

    Trump's comment on China's President Xi Jinping and his recent consolidation of power:
     


     
    To reference "Watchmen",
    "If that statement starts to chill you after a couple of moments’ consideration, then don’t be alarmed. A feeling of intense and crushing terror at the concept indicates only that you are still sane."
     
    I'm sure it will eventually be spun as "just a joke."

    Area effects can only be moved if they have the Mobile Advantage, which requires an Attack action to move the effect a limited distance each Phase.
     
    The Mobile Advantage (6E1 324) says "Ordinarily a Constant Area-affecting power cannot move once established, unless it has the No Range Limitation so that it "sticks to" the character generating it and moves as he moves, or the Usable As Attack Advantage so a character can "stick" it to a target and have it move as the target moves."
     
    Usable As Attack says the same thing on 6E1 358.  "Usable As Attack allows a character to "attach" a Constant Power to a target and have that Power follow him as he moves."
     
    That doesn't appear to have made it into Champions Complete or Fantasy Hero Complete.  They just say that a Constant Area Power can't be moved unless it has Mobile added.

    Who's been appointed to advise the USDA on dietary guidelines?
    A lobbyist for the corn syrup industry, of course.

    You see it with pretty much any issue that requires work, as an excuse not to do it.  It seems to come up a lot when discussing climate change.
    "Why should we reduce carbon dioxide emissions? (Insert country name) isn't going to do it, so our efforts won't matter."
    "If you're so worried about climate change, why are you still driving a car, heating your house, and using your computer?"

    There was an interesting line on one of the news broadcasts about superheroes in other communities.  It was easy to overlook, but it leaves me wondering who else is out there on this Earth.

    That's a feature, not a bug.  There are so many outrages that either people become numb and stop paying attention, or no particular outrage gets long-term attention because it's quickly replaced by the next one.
