12. Wowsers!

It looks like Trump's high-flown rhetoric is completely contradicted by the actions he takes. I wonder if anyone at CNN has noticed this???

They will pass nothing.

Because in any sane world any sane background check would have disqualified Trump from any government job, much less the highest job.
