I have no clue, nor at this point do I really care, what his politics were. All I know is that he put on a really good show.

All of these people who are relatively young (compared to those who die from flu related complications) is really scaring the shit out of me. And with each passing day I grow more and more fury towards tRump because of the amount of time he wasted at the start of this claiming it was a Democratic conspiracy and hoax.
