    He should do what everyone else does and start a gofundme. I’m sure the people who invested in TRUMP coin would be happy to show their support.

      True. But think of the other half. The open-eyed and -minded poor lads who now have to reap, what the troglodyte-brigade sew. I pity those…

        Don’t pity us, we all carry blame here. We all ignored warning signs. We all became complacent and let the corruption take everything. We should have hit the streets and not stopped after citizens united.

        We got the 3rd string practice squad equivalent of a “news” host as Secretary of Defense. You’d be better off having Bob Barkers corpse doing the job

      It’s not missing. It’s in a private bank account in Qatar that only Trump controls.
