Depends. Is there a difference in structural stress between walking downstairs, and waddling?

Way to evade the question.

Easy way to make millions of dollars: make a bet to pay one million dollars to anyone uttering the ‘_Trump is My President and he’s Your President Too_’ claim, if they can prove that they–even once!–publicly said or wrote “_Obama is my president_” during Obama’s time in office.

And, of course, if they did not, then they owe _you_ one million dollars.

Easy peasy!

Shit, my favorite one yet!  
If I may critique… Lose the capital p, and just as the orange ass refers to actual judges, call him “My so called president”.  
Beautiful!

I’m sure that someone said that Obama was not their president during his tenure. Several someones even. But it never rose to the level of being a mating call that Trump is not my president has been propelled to.

Awww. Did you not get a trophy? I didn’t try to keep track of all the failures starting threads over some trivial perceived slight by the Commander in Chief so I really don’t remember.

Have your mommy drop by to pick one up for you sometime. She can present it to you for washing behind your ears or something.

I guess I was being too literal with the not my president statement. I can see how birtherism was an indictment of his eligibility to hold the office and therefor “not my president”. Point conceded. I did block a few people from my fb feed who just wouldn’t shut up with that nonsense.
