He said he would return to Washington on Sunday to attend a briefing at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

I was thinking more along the lines of ten or twelve. They say lightning never strikes the same place twice, but that's a fallacy. It can, and should, strike the same place numerous times in the case of Hair Drumpf. We want to make sure, don't we?

We have been struck by lightning several times. Not us personally, but our property has been struck!

he knew the president of Germany was going to apologize to the people of Poland for killing 6 million people during WW2 and that isn't something Trump would have been comfortable witnessing. Trump idolizes Hitler. It would have broke his heart to hear that apology, if he only had a heart.
