I have too much respect for him to get into that. He’s a good man. Let’s not forget that he is a father, a husband, a grandfather, a buffoon, a grifter, a racist, a thief, a fraud, an enlarged pee-splattered sno cone, a bewildered golden-helmeted astronaut who’s just landed on this planet from a distant planet, a… Read more
