Trump just said the Spanish Flu ended World War I in 1917. I've said it before: if brains were black powder, Donald Trump couldn't blow his nose.

(5,914 posts)Nothing against Stephen King. He's one of my favorite writers. But my dad used to say this all the time. I think he got it from some 1950's comedian.

(8,851 posts)Trump keeps a bus stationed at the front of the white house, so if anyone even remotely disagrees with him, he can immediately drag them out and throw them under it........
Just look at his recent antics for proof......
I'm sure people learned early in the administration, "We don't correct the boss no matter what he says".
