1. Every syllable, every snort, every grunt that issues from 45 is a LIE.

From how much money he (doesn’t) have, to how he’d run toward gunfire, to his “stable-genius” self-assessment, to his “no collusion” mantra. EVERY WORD IS A LIE.

And the Barack Obama was born in Kenya.

Well, OK, no they don't. They know perfectly well it's all BS, but it's what their mindless supporters want to hear, so they keep repeating it nonetheless. Cynical assholes.

13. Oh. My. God. He's a standup comedian at a resort in the Poconos.

Seriously.
Listen to him.
Listen to his delivery.
Maybe this is what he grew up with?
I dunno.
But that's sure what it sounds like to me.
