Does anyone outside of Trump's bubble believe anything he or his spokes-idiots says? (Or is it "say"? The grammar eludes me.)

Also, irony is lost on Trumpers. Like humor, they don't understand it.

When a compound subject is joined by "or," The verb agrees with the subject closer to the verb.

"Say" sounded right but I thought the grammar was wrong.

I like to relearn!
