https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212920868I should have checked before posting. Then, had to step out so didn't see the replies & wasn't able to self-delete before it was locked (thanks to the mods for locking!)
I'll take this as a teaching moment.
Sorry for spreading fake crap. Didn't intend to add to our troubles.

I remember shortly after Bush left office, I was reading an article to my husband that I didn't realize was satire until about half way through. We still laugh about Bush hanging out at the food court at his local mall telling the kids about that time he got Saddam Hussein.
With Trump, like Bush, it's hard to tell reality from satire.

There's no low he wouldn't sink to so when stuff is made up about him and sounds crazy, it just sounds like him. BUT - no excuses. I should have verified it before posting. Too much fake crap going around as is and I don't want to be part of the problem!
