Am I the only person still in shock that Trump of all people is President? [View all]

My first memory of him is in the 90s when Jay Leno or maybe it was Letterman made fun of his hair in the 90s just to give you my first impressions.

I don't know if I could put into words but I'm in shock whenever someone mentions they like him. He lies 5 seconds in every time he speaks.

I can't stop laughing reading this article knowing that John Baron is Trump.

I still can't believe that same person is President.
