Actually Comacho was looking for somebody who wasn't an idiot to solve their problem and was ready to take his advice, conditionally.

Listening to the "high IQ expert" payed off.

I would prefer President Comacho at this point

And this is coming from a very tough guy, so you know it's true!

My only question is, why didn't the very tough guy call Donald sir? Don't most people who talk to the President call him sir?

"I said to one gentleman who's very tough, very tough man, runs a tough country..."

There once was a tough little man
who ran the tough country of Siam
he met Popeye who said, "I am what I am."
They had lunch together of bread, jam and ham.

Notice how Trump never gives any specifics such as names and or places.

"I get calls all the time from leaders."

Trump, "Drs. call me all the time to thank me for doing such a good job and getting them
everything that they need." Rough quote.

I hate to think he has been lying to us.

in a mall parking lot looking at the ground for something -- nickels and dimes, I guess. Saw him again on another day.

I hope trump's fate -- as an equally racist and ignorant Prez -- is similar as he dies a pitiful old man.

Trouble is, there are no facts attached to them. In this case, not even the name of a country or the "tough leader." So it's just him lying. And his cult swallows it hook line and sinker.

or any crisis. He doesn't learn from mistakes or even acknowledge mistakes. For example, pulling funding for WHO is setting us up for the next worldwide pandemic.

It really alarms me that so many Americans don't understand the danger we're in under this man-child. Think about where we'd be if this were ebola. We cannot afford to find out. Get this dumb/ignorant/evil/corrupt/narcissist/senile m-f OUT!
