I want to know why the liberal elites in the media aren’t discussing the truly important things that matter. For example, I’ve been hearing people say that Trump’s entire purpose of running for the Presidency is to sell poorly made red hats to the uneducated. If true, this would explain everything that has been happening for the past year or so and expose our electoral politics as merely a marketing gimmick. Obviously it means the President is selected, not elected, and there is a secret conspiracy and a new world order, involving UFOs, the Illuminati, Freemasons, and the Church of Satan. For more information on this very important matter, purchase my new book. I’ll take pre-orders now, and write it next week. ---

That would explain why he spent more on hats than he did on polling(true!). ---

The Republicans should rename their party and go back to their roots. They should rename their party “_The Wh- er, The Rigs_”. ---

I have to admit, I want a Make America Great Again hat. I won’t pay for one, for many reasons, but I hope I find one laying around. Maybe I’ll go to a Trump rally on election night and hope a dispirited Trumpkin lets one fall from his sullen, stubby, Cheetos-stained fingers. ---

If it’s a Trump hat, it probably will be laying around. ---

It’s sunny where I live, and I burn easily, so I tried to buy a Trump hat with a neck flap. They don’t make them. ---
