I had to re-look up the story behind Carrolls dress.

I look forward to his incoherent rants about Taylor Swift and possible legal consequences to follow for him.

"Well, she’s named after a bird, of course. The swift is a bird. Not many people know that, but it’s true, the swift is a bird. And she flies all over doing concerts so she’s a bird too. Hey, in England, they call girls ‘birds,’ so I guess it all works. She’s a girl, she’s a bird, she does concerts in England. Swift works for her. Amirite?

And she going out with a guy named Kelce. He’s a football player. Real football, not that sissy kind they play in Europe and South America, and for all I know, Africa and Asia. Not many people know this, but they also play that garbage in Africa and Asia. Anyway, once when I went to the Marxist Socialist so-called paradise of Canada, led by Soyboy Justin Castro, I spotted one of Kelce’s restaurants. Yes, really! He’s running a restaurant chain in Canada! Talk about un-American!"

(There is a chain of “roadhouse” restaurants in Ontario called “Kelsey’s.” Note the spelling.)

Hey, @Smapti! Little help?

(I almost wish Trump could be re-elected so he could once again go to the UN and once again be laughed at by all the countries in the world.)

“Maybe if she wasn’t so nasty, I’d be dating her. Many people have said we’d make a great couple.”

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go throw up.

Trump will just dismiss it as fake news. He knows he has her endorsement because of the Swifties for Trump meme.
