Somebody must have told trump all that stuff, because he’s never been known to crack a book. Maybe he lived way back in the swamp for a while, and an old conjure wife taught him her secrets. ---

> [@JohnT](#): > > This is a fake quote. Lindsey did not say this. Sure sounds like something he’d say. However he did say about Trump: “He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot,”. He doesn’t represent my party. He doesn’t represents the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for. … He’s the ISIL man of the year." Of course, he had a tiny change of mind after the election. ---
