That's what I always say to Trumpers when they say something is a hoax. I'll list some of the things he has said were hoaxes and then say, "He sure gets hoaxed a lot. He must be really gullible and impotent. I like presidents who don't get hoaxed all the time."

70 days", right?! While he carted around the golf course.. & threw his Hate Fest Rallies. Fucker is to Blame. I Blame him for All the Shit we're going through now.

And, for some ungodly reason he didn't want anyone to Mask up.. & tried to snake oil America.

That's trump's Deadly use of "Hoax".. Why aren't People/Media Talking about That?!

It better not have gone down the rabbit hole! There's Video & an important rebuttal to his trying to rebuff his own history and Fault of spreading the trump VIRUS.
