98. Trump thinks they are
Mon Jan 6, 2020, 04:55 PM
Jan 2020

I really knew something like this would happen. The Iranians know the only way to faze Trump is to threaten his own properties.

Threaten to blow Fort Bragg off the map? No problem, at least to Donnie.

Threaten to check into a Trump hotel and steal the bathrobe? Now he's really angry. This is Fargin War!
