So I got up and got my phone to delete junk emails and read headlines. I decided to take a trip to @realDonaldTrump to see if he was angry tweeting about the SNL skit. Nothing. They must have taken his phone away from him on Friday morning.

by his supporters. Blaming the tax code system, not Donnie. He is a genius. He has the money to pay sleazy lawyers to figure out ways to take advantage of the system. And they just know he will do the same for them. Somehow still keeping their socialized benefits.
