If he found a different way to rip Krasnov a new one, or just stopped with the ALL CAPS Trumpian social media posts?

I suppose people have come to expect it, but I'd like to see the governor take a different approach to expose The Fascist Grifter for what he is, which can be done with scathing wit and humor.
