He’s a 78 year old man. If those questions (based on HIS words and actions) were too hardball, what tf business does he have running for POTUS? Man tf up.

[@theodorehaskins3756]

So not only is Donald Trump, a grifter, he’s also nonsensical and a liar! If anyone can make sense out of nonsense, please let me know, because I can’t. I don’t know how to do that! So when you play into the game of Donald Trump’s bullshit, you become shit on and confused, because again, Donald Trump is good at a couple of things, the 1st of course is lying, the 2nd is nonsense, and he’s really good at spreading nonsense, and lying about the very nonsense he’s spreading, and that itself is more nonsense. Oh BTW! The wall never got built, Mexico didn’t pay for it, Obamacare is still a government healthcare program, that Donald Trump was committed to overturning, and failed, like so many other things he promised that he was going to do, and failed to accomplish, because that’s what conmen do, they lie, they steal, and they cheat.🤷🏽‍♂️
