Good lord. What The everloving Fuck! I used to think Fucker knew he was peddling BS, but now I think his cheese has definitely slid off the cracker and he believes the BS he is spewing. His maniacal laughter would support my new theory.

Oh, lord, how he carefully brings up his mike before “spontaneously” laughing is just gold. It’s like in wrestling where the two guys “arguing” wait until they have mikes in their hands to go after each other.

Hurr durr we’re going to gum up local traffic and pull police away from actually doing important things just so we can see DJT’s First Failson. I’m sure that will endear you to locals.
