> [@ckalli1998](#): > > He meant what he said; he wanted them to take their souls to the polls and prevent Hitlery from gaining the Oval Office. Why have you decided that in this instance he means what he said? Don’t you remember what he told a crowd of his supporters shortly after he won the election and those supporters were chanting “Lock her up”? Your inane defense of Trump is so far off the charts one would not be surprised that if you meet him in public you would give home a blow job right then and there. And then stand up and say to all who witnessed this disgusting act that (a) it’s didn’t really happen, or (b) Trump “more than made up for it already”. By the way, your idol is either lying to the courts or he’s lying to the likes of you regarding the travel ban. Which do you think is most likely? ---

So, new 1998 plagiarist guy, what did Trump mean when he said that he couldn’t, just simply couldn’t gosh-darnit release his tax information because he was under an audit? When the I.R.S. itself said there was nothing stopping him from releasing the information. How is that spun in Trumpland so it doesn’t sound like bullshit? ---

He was pro-choice until 2015 - anybody who bangs as many eastern European whores as he did back in the 1990s is definitely _not_ pro-life. Plenty of video over the decades where he pledges his support to Roe v. Wade. Melania and Ivana were Communists. One was Czech, the other Yugoslavian. Both born and raised Communists until their 20s, when their physical assets allowed them the chance to escape (well, Melania was helped by 1992, obviously). ---
