He doesn't need to be told the same thing over and over again. At least, that's what Trump claimed. Looks like maybe it's not true.

Wow. Although I believe he has essentially spent his entire life in the Eastern Time Zone.

I can't seem to find any information on line about whether he even had a passport before he ran for President. I suspect not.

He must have had a passport since he went to many foreign countries prior to his selection.
I know, I know - just boggles the mind, doesn’t it.
But, how else to ogle half naked women all over the world?

any damned time he feels like placing them....

It is going to take decades to rid the world of their poor opinion of this country, as a result of Trump.

manipulated complicit media to brainwash millions into believing he hit a triple--the best triple. Bigly.

Being unwilling to educate oneself is another.

When someone thinks that their own ignorance is funny, well, that's disgusting, IMO. But -45's followers find it endearing because he's "one of them". They feel threatened by those who are more intelligent than they are. I think that's one of the things I despise most about the general character of -45's followers. Along with a whole lot of other flaws, that is.
