Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsStable Genius shares his thoughts on the beautiful, wet, sloppy, unfair "Kentuky Derby."
According to the president, the disqualification of favorite Maximum Security by the racecourse stewards is a case of political correctness run amok.
The Kentuky (sic) Derby decision was not a good one. It was a rough and tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch. Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby not even close! he tweeted.
You can see the tweet below (which has since been deleted and replaced with one spelling Kentucky correctly):

If no one's named their horse "Stable Genius" yet, what's taking so long?

Stay out of the sport I love you cocksucker. Evil never sleeps, Trump is pure fucking evil and never tires at being evil.

the fact that he couldn't spell "Kentucky" will remain.
Is he the dumbest famous person in America right now? I don't watch the Kardashians - can they top this shithead?

are not bumper cars. Please keep to hating living things and stay with cheating at golf. Nothing dies that way.

Chump definitely wouldn't know anything about following the rules, would he?

Much like the 2016 presidential election, where the person who actually won by millions of votes did not get to take office.
