I was at a friends house watching Trump speak on MSNBC... He said the biggest bunch of nothing.. and the press did not come back at him.. he just fluffed right over them.. I looked at my husband, and we realized the last time we saw such a clueless person was Ronald Reagan.. We both said then.. no way will the country elect such a buffoon.. Boy were we wrong..
sheesh could people truly want someone like Trump leading the country??

Listening to Trump is like hearing a monkey cage in which the monkeys are all jacked up on Red Bull and meth. Sheer cacophonous insanity.
that is so true.. his voice just about put you too sleep..
