Trump: "There was nobody here" in America 25 years ago, so air and water was cleaner than it is now

Aaron Rupar
@atrupar
Trump, making no sense at all, claims that 25 years ago "there was nobody here" in America, and therefore air and water was cleaner than it is now. Twenty five years ago was 1994.

could use a little something also.

My theory is that your water isn't actually as clean as Drump seems to think. There is something in it that is driving a large number of Americans completely bonkers.

And who can forget the caves and all that hunting and gathering in the 80's? Those were pristine, pure days and much fun was had by all.

I wax nostalgic at the thought of it. Grunt.

Repubs at the conference. He's so stupid it's beyond me how they don't laugh out loud at him. The only thing he would inspire me to do is tear my hair out. That's why I don't watch or listen to him on TV .

Don’t you all remember the rhyme?

In 1995 Columbus made America alive.

Then everything took off from there.

along with a whole bunch of other people.

I suppose he doesn't know that in 1969, when there were even fewer people, the Cuyahoga River caught fire because it was so polluted.
