The fact that they feel the need to put the “J.” in “Donald J. Trump” is as annoying and pretentious as NFL players stating their alma mater as _"The!_ Ohio State University." I voted for him, and I’d have to look up what Biden’s middle name is. And I had to think really hard before remembering Clinton’s. ---
