Well, okay, then. That’s certainly good to know. Thanks for sharing, Donny.

Tell me, what are we supposed to do with this information? File it away for future reference? Fear this idiot more? He’s already the world’s most tiresome asshole.

Who talks like this? It’s so unpresidential. Our Predator-in-Chief is unfit for office, and growing worse by the day.

‘I can do whatever I want, if I want.’

Why does everything that seeps out of Preznit Fuckwit’s rancid anus-mouth sound like something that he or his dead pedo bestie Jeffrey Epstein would have said to one of the Motel-a-Lago ‘spa girls’?
