... "I don't get it" brigade spouts off.

It doesn't matter what Trump says because nothing any of them says means jack shit.

Why wouldn't people want to elect a dumbass that might do some good instead of an intelligent liar that is clearly working for the interests of the 1% only? It really is not as complicated or unreasonable as the "journalist" camp want to make it out to be.

Everyone things HRC is going to walk all over Trump. I wouldn't bet on it.
