She was privy to his exercise and dietary habits, not to mention his temperament. She probably had zero idea that anything like this would be landing in her lap.

Bad enough that 45 landed there.

Start with Trump making his name on being a "birther" - Make this black man show his papers! The GOP went along,
and now they don't even try to hide Trump being a racist. Sad case of the GOP, we can only hope they go down in
flames next election.
