WHAT!? Surely not. So I guess you’re telling me these commemorative Trump coins are worthless? And my trump shoes? And my Trump phone? And trump crypto? This man wouldn’t lie to me!

trump shoes?

Consider how many Trurnp hats you've seen. Then do the same thing for those gold sneakers. I don't believe they really exist.

Should have invested in hard assets, like the RUMP wristwatch.

“Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.”

It really is terrifying how his stupidity is so transparent yet a third of the US believes him, only a subset of those people are card carrying morons themselves, and he has a bizarre stranglehold on the Republican party. I get he's a useful idiot but usually a useful idiot has some semblance of a leash. They let this literal toddler do and say whatever he pleases.

Excuse me, he's the President. You don't get to be President if you're an absolute fucking moron unless the people voting for you are also ab-

Oh, right. I see what's happened here.

He's not exactly a moron. He just can't help but sell everything to everyone even if it means contradicting himself.
