From Michael Harriot: the exact day Donald Trump thinks America was "great."
When @realDonaldTrump says "Make America Great Again" a lot of people wonder what he's talking about. But using my detective skills and looking through history, I believe I've finally narrowed down the exact day Donald Trump thinks America was "great."
If America was ever great, it would have to be sometime between 1776 (when America was founded) and 2015, when he first started using the phrase. I know that seems like a large span of time, but you always have to start at the beginning.
From there, I had to use deductive reasoning to figure out a few things. It seems reasonable to assume that there is NO WAY America could ever be great if there were no Trump's here. So I looked up when Trump's family first arrived in the U.S.
Well it turns out that Freidrich Drumpf came to America in 1885 at the age of 16. Alone. Because he had not completed his mandatory military duty, he was not supposed to leave the country.... the rest is at

Worth reading to the bottom. I'm not on Twitter so I can't reply to him, but if I could, it would be a gif of a standing ovation.
(Hope this isn't a duplicate, I did a site search for his name)
