I read that yesterday. Then, he immediately denied it, but it a sneaky, political way. Hey, he’s a politician! What can we expect from people who only have to meet the qualification of… being a human? Sorta?

Look, we elected a reality TV “star” as president of the entire country (except maybe California and Texas). Obviously, we need to keep our expectations in line w/ that.
